The company is only a few hours from me so I had heard of them before .. but it looks like their tactical auctions/advertising has worked .. Had they listed the items for their real prices no one would have bothered to post not one but two of thier auction on here for the rest of us to eagerly click on to see wtf you were all talking about

[Bruce]

Since eBay often charges no listing fees these days, eventually almost all auctions will start at one million dollars (and state the real prices in the listing) and the ones that stand out will be the few that start at a realistic price!

Just checked out Christie's upcoming auction on December 1.  My faves:

That Barbarella is a great design!

Boy, not too much vintage ooze in that auction.........

[Dread_Pirate_Mel]

Bruce & Company just topped their last auction IMHO:

[CSM]

It sure is another beauty Mel but for me it doesn't top the Gilda strip tease...

Agreed.  Nice poster, but nothing like GILDA.
Va-va-vooooom...

[Dr Hackenbush]

I'm more impressed with the Vampire Bat 1sh    Wish I could afford something this amazing.  It's already at almost $700 barely after the auction went live.

Hey Bruce, who writes these trippy poster descriptions?  That must be a fun job. "What would you do if your mother was a damn mean prostitute?"  (The actual line on the poster is "what would you do if your mama was a hooker?")

[CSM]

Maybe you had the "family friendly filter" on Mel?

[Bruce]

I had a woman ask if the person or persons who write those titles is a 17 year old male!

It is a closely guarded trade secret that I personally write most of the "trippy" titles, so keep it between you and me.

What if your damn hooker was a mean movie poster seller

La Femme Et Le Pantin (A Woman Like Satan) Italian one sheet:

[marklawd]

Even though it didn't catch my eye in the catalogue I was drawn to this poster during a viewing yesterday - the photograph doesn't capture how astonishingly beautiful BB is in that artwork.

HA!  What a bunch of prudes!  The horror, I once saw a hand-colored Connery bond quad like that as well... it looked like they put friggin' burkas on the bond girls, but I can't for the life of me find the pic or even remember which movie it was for.  I think either Dr. No or FRWL...

La Femme Et Le Pantin (A Woman Like Satan) Italian one sheet:

SHIT!!!  This is STUNNING, truly, absolutely STUNNING.  One of the most beautiful posters I have ever seen.  Like you said, Mel, worth every penny.  And double that.  This is the first time I wished I knew how to buy from such auctions.

Wow!

[Dread_Pirate_Mel]

This is the first time I wished I knew how to buy from such auctions.

Get up at 5am PST and call in a bid is the low tech way. (It was 8am EST).  I didn't bid on anything but I was assuming Christies offers online bidding as well.

[eatbrie]

I'm never much in awe of anything, because really, it's just posters, but this is something different.  Thanks for sharing.  I'll be on the lookout.
