My God it sucks that my account is linked to my wife's...

Or maybe it's a blessing.  I think I'd go broke in no time.

Fabulous posters but at such high starting prices ($16,000) they're not really being "auctioned."

[CSM]

If I had posters like that I would be terrified to even unfold them to take a pic!

Bought from that seller several times. Not the easiest guy to work with, fights for every penny, to say the least.

If you're talking Benito, yes I found him quite inflexible too... 10% off is the best I could bargain... I walked away empty handed...

I was talking about museumofmomandpopculture, my bad. But since you mention it, yes, Benito borders on irrational in terms of working with customers, at least in my experiences with him.

[Louie D.]

Does Benito ever sell anything?  His prices for stuff seems way over the top for me, although there are many things he has I would like to add to my collection.

Am i missing something here?

$12,000.00. 

Heritage sold one in July 2011 for 3883.75, and that included the 19.5% buyers premium.

And shipping is an extra 130.00.

its DaveL's auction .. 'nuff said !!

[MoviePosterBid.com]

people can ask whatever they want for their own items

what they do affects me not a wit

[Bruce]

"what they do affects me not a wit"

Actually, that's not true. If you were offering that poster for $6,000, it would look like you were asking "half-price" which would greatly increase your chances of selling it.

The opposite can also be true .. When I see a deal that appears to be too good to be true I may shy away from it.

is that why you haven't been bidding in my auctions the past couple weeks??

So would you consider $6K a good deal for a Barbarella 40x60? (that's half price after all--- lol)

LOL .. Im trying to sell more than I buy at this point .. unless its something that I like from COD or Mondo then I have to try and buy it otherwise Ill just end up paying double or triple when I decide I cant live without it!

Depends... if the buyer wants it now, then yes.  $6000 would probably make it the lowest price available.  If the seller is patient enough to wait months/years for it to come up for auction again, then no, $6000 is probably still too high.  Although the market could change for that poster while they are waiting as well...

True. And considering the last one HA sold was only this past July, for 3884.00, these do appear and are not so rare as to have a span of many years go by before another one shows up on the market (of course, as always, condition must be taken into consideration).

Speaking of discounts, here is one that has been slashed-- it's now been reduced by 25%!  Maybe if he sells a few more, he can afford a better camera and lighting setup to photograph these "high end" items.
