Mel, it's Rita Hayworth at the peak of her appeal in a strapless gown flippantly saying "FU" to the establishment through her sly smirk and casually held cig.
That's all that needs to be said!
Yes...That thing is beautiful...Its not a cigarete I see her holding when I look at that  |

$14,000+ for this? I don't get it - maybe the movie was great but this is just a cigarette ad to me:  Now, now, Mel. GILDA is a classic and that iconic poster is worth every penny. What a gorgeous piece of classic film memorabilia. |

Mel
You gotta admit she is one smokin' babe (and she just passed $20,000!).
I imagine you know that practically every man and teenage boy in the 1940s fantasied about being with Hayworth in this role and when she was asked why she had had so little romantic success in her personal life she replied (remarkably candidly) "Men go to bed with Gilda, but wake up with me"!

Nice....$25,657 I was tempted to bid $26,000 but I would have been 25,000 short  Not the Stanley Cup Finals but still fun to watch. |

Yeah, that seller has a high opening bids which is a turn off for most buyers/bidders... too bad as he's got a nice selection.

the ET poster is most certainly NOT a high starting bid
yes, it's more than 99 cents, but that poster is exceedingly rare and retail, in that condition is at least $700-800
for such a rare poster, I think the seller is being reasonably fair (for a non-99 cent starting bid)

apparently not what? that it isn't a bargain..? jason, really.. how stupid can you get? Just because it didn't sell this morning doesn't mean the poster wasn't cheap. The economy sucks if you haven't noticed and while Bruce may have trumpeted his results of last week, the reality is that even those results sucked. babe Comes Home for $9700? That poster got higher bids just last year in Morry's auction. House of Dracula insert at $5901.. Heritage has gotten as high as $15k not too long ago. I Walked With a Zombie insert $2100.. if you think that's a good result, then you clearly have no idea. That ET poster is a great poster, though the condition isn't top notch here is a Heritage result $3107 http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=693&Lot_No=64334Bruce hasn't sold a copy since 2006 and got as high as $1600 in 1996 The poster is an absolute bargain for any collector looking for the poster, and it's rarity adds to that as who knows when another will come up. |

Obviously the demand has slipped and/or the right collecter/bidder/investor was not aware of the auction.
In the end, the market dictates value not past sales results...

only if you desire to micro-manage a value, however the reality is somewhere in between, especially in a market that eschews a price guide for standardization (I agree with this to great extent in posters). |

Rich, Rich, Rich.
Untrue and beneath you. Those results from other auctions you love to quote likely were never paid for, or were made by a house bidder, or were a consignor buying back their own items.
My results (good and bad) were the results of real bidders bidding against real bidders (just as your results are). They may have been lower than some imaginary results in some cases, but in many other cases they were much higher.
