I improved my system and I now lose money only on ones that sell below $7. But there are a lot of those. I keep trying to move those posters into bulk lots, but it is a slow process.

Someday I might add $14 minimum buyers premiums, and then I will make money on every poster.

Hahaha... funny!

How did you do that, by the way.  Isn't the process the same.  Don't you still have to take pictures of all of them?  Very time consuming.

Look, I do buy those super cheap posters, so I'm happy you're selling them.  I bought a few tonite, but only the Very Good condition ones.  When you know a Good Fifty Shades of Grey is obviously not going to sell, why even bother?  It's just dead weight.

Another from the Benito vaults. An Italian 4F for The Wolf Man.  bed1

The art on this, done by Paolo Tarquini, is one of my favorites for the film, hands down. It's hard to tell if benito's copy is a bit faded or it's just the photography and lighting.

With a BIN of $22,100.00

And Italian seller martinati0 also has a copy. With a BIN of $29,900.00  faint2.gif

I always thought this one poster was more of a  "green" colour just by looking at the HA archives. But you're right it looks blue here. Not my cuppa either.

Its kind of like we were talking about in the other thread, too, Steve, about how things can appeal to some and not others.  ;)

I think the sharp color contrast works well and really highlights Bogie and Bacall in the center panel.

This poor soul has been valiantly trying to flog this video poster for a lesser Bond film for some weeks now.

He started at £600 !, while asking for some input as to value.  I proffered £5 might be a better starting point but he has decided to gently decrease weekly.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/James-Bond-never-say-never-again-original-80s-UK-video-shop-poster-46cm-by-69cm-/151986994955?hash=item2363217f0b:g:hXAAAOSwnLdWsO6v

Hopeless.

At least the last one, I get it, not for cup of tea, but it has a cool picture of Clint, so why not.  But the first one?  Makes no sense whatsoever.

WTF?????

http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=4145103

Interesting, too, that the letter isn't signed or even on Malpaso Prod/WB letterhead.

I mean, Debbie could have printed that letter up herself...LOL   qip   (I jest, of course).

If it was signed, it would be signed by a 17 year old summer intern, like 99% of Hollywood correspondence.  So it's better unsigned.  But yeah, you're right, it should have been on letterhead.  Hopefully, whoever bought it is not a member of this forum ;)
