Hey, Romania is a very progressive country.  Apparently they had the web back in the 70s, while the rest of the world had to wait 20 years :)

Progressive or not, that poster was manhandled, with a nice chunk torn off... yet the seller still calls it "near mint."

That's progressive alright.  ;D

Maybe I should have rephrased what I said lol.
People who go to auctions and are involved in them know that the statement Bruce made is right, no matter who says it.

The reason it could land an individual or rival company in trouble is because you are effectively calling another a fraud, and this could open up a huge can of worms. We all know it happens, but without clear evidence, you cannot prove a thing.

yeah, insinuating someone is a fraud is okay, even if you do it for years and never provide a single iota of evidence and because you never point to teh evidence, youcan't be blamed for anything because you didn't say anything other than insinuating someone is a crook.. is that right???

here's a question: do you really believe that garbage? How would you feel about your neighbor accusing you of crime? We already know what you think of Mel.

This guy has no clue (ergo clueless) or simply a rip-off merchant:

I've bought from him before, he is I believe selling for someone else, he might be faking it but I think he has no idea, pricing is all over the shop.

This "This Gun For Hire" came out of nowhere - already picked up 24 watchers.  A fixer-upper for sure....

What are you getting at here, Rich?
All I'm saying is that people know it goes on.
It happens in many auctions; car auctions, property auctions, everything.

Whatever your gripe is with Bruce is not my concern; I'm just stating the facts about the situation in hand.

It's easy for people to say this and that about others, but without actually naming the person or company directly it would be very, very difficult for the person or company on the receiving end to prove the wrongdoing is directed to them.

Of course, I would never condone false claims against another.

The crap with Mel - why are you bringing that up?
He actually called me a fraud directly and said a lot of other FALSE things about me with all the personal attacks etc.
The difference between that and what we are talking about is vast. I have clear evidence of what Mel said (despite him deleting certain posts on another forum and despite the forum owner deleting the thread altogether due to its defamatory nature). As far as I am aware, Bruce has not named anyone or even linked to anyone - if I am wrong, please correct me.

Mel you fail to mention it's listed in the Reproduction listings (or was...)

And what's with sellers blatantly stating they won't accept a "buy it now" offer, only to sell at a "buy it now" offer to someone else when they told the first person they wouldn't listen to offers?   ;D  Seriously some people have no concept of maximizing their potential return on goods...

Chris,

It's still listed in the Repro section.
And the current high bidder is listed as "private."

I really like this stamp on the back of it, too:

I wonder if a former owner was worried about the "This is the property of" disclaimer and blacked out Paramount?  :)
