the price wasn't artificially created, but it is going to be deliberately undermined

What does this mean Rich light of the above comment:

"I could single-handed turn Pulp Fiction into a $25 poster if I wanted to, but what purpose would that serve?"

it means I have alot of the regular style that I got from a deal years ago. I sell a small few a year.

and what the @#*%* would you think it meant you dolt???

The buyer may like the holy poster so much he can grab a second one at a bargain price rather than wait for another to appear later

 Rich, you should try to crash the Int. Bueller market buy dumping your Bueller posters on the open market.

And that's in YOUR best interests but how do YOUR interests relate to the hobby as a whole?

Yeah I know I am asking the wrong guy this question

Well well, what have we here...a miss-spell? And coming from the forum's own spell-checker?!  Because unless that poster with the hole in it is the holy grail of posters then I wholly believe you meant holey? Unless of course the person that bought it was called Holly, and that's a whole different songsheet...http://goo.gl/lecl3

And yes, he'll need to buy a lot of that poster to bring down the average cost on that holy of holy posters.

[50s]

Ha, yes, almost got me, but I liked the double meaning. It was intentional

Chris, it benefits the entire business AND every person who has ever bought a copy from a variety of sources over the years. Bruce gets more than I get for them usually, because my price is reasonable. It benefits no one (except cheapskates) to mutilate the market value, especially because unlike the Spider's Web poster, PF is in very high demand, Spider's Web has a probable handful of buyers above $50 and maybe not even a handful, so auctioning 2 of those in one week isn't even comparable to offering PF one sheets so rapidly.

years ago there was the story about Cinemonde having a 200-300 stack of 1952 Kong half sheets. what purpose would it have suited Jose to offer them at a low price to move them out when it was a good investment to sell them slowly?

It only matters if you are investing in your purchases.  If you are buying purely out of desire or pleasure then the cheapest possible price is the best price every time...

Of course for a seller it's the other side of the coin (and I get that).  But I disagree that it's in the best interests of the hobby as a whole to keep poster prices high by purposefully hiding the true supply of any particular poster.

yes, I'm keeping my qty hidden.. that's why I didn't mention here that I actually have a qty on this poster ... oh wait...!!!
(and for the record, many people, including some on this list, know I have a supply of this poster and many others).

seriously however, few people think or believe Pulp Fiction is a rare poster by any stretch of the imagination any more than people think Star Wars is a rare poster

[50s]

I agree with Chris. Only benefit for buyer is if they bought at a high value and need it to stay a high value, in that case they are really a seller. Some of us don't buy to recoup our outlay.

However, buyers will not lose if they bought posters cheaply. Maybe professional sellers will not able to make a living purely from selling posters and may have to branch out into selling other product lines such as underwear. If there is a poster price crash, selling will still happen without dealers, like on ebay, selling posters for a few dollars or in bulk lots.

[CSM]

Underwear bulk lots?  Hmmmm...
