Mid-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....

[Ari]

I saw a Belgian Milk Maid and got a boner, we ate french fries and drank german beer, while listening to Mozart and dancing in clogs. She spoke Latvian BTW.

packing those suckers safely to make sure they get to you intact is too much work. You take paypal, right?

[Ari]

yeah, used paypal bills in Australian Dollars (US is worth peanuts)

Oh, you should see our pesos...

Geeze Rich you still going?

If ego was a measure for intelligence then you'd be the smartest guy in the world, unfortunately with every utterance you completely dumb down that possibility.

David.. I don't have to walk very far to find words to explain your personal ignorance.. I give you a boner.. I think that's funny.. You're busy looking for me to make small mistakes in life so you can latch on to them.. I think that's perfect.. It means I own you. Like Pavlov's dog I can make you jump & twirl.. I think you're twirling on something right now.. I own you.. Muah hahahahahaha.. Twirl puppy.. twirl.. Muah hahahahahahahaha

And how would one say that, in Belgian?

so to get this thread back on track... did any of you even bid on this Creature poster which sold for a very very bery low price even though it was outed here on this forum?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/170830276230?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

I guess that blows holes in the idea that because something is outed on the all-showing APF that the price will jump to Empire State Building-like heights

[Der Januskopf]

Technically, shouldn't this question really now be in the Post-auction thread, since it is over and ended yesterday?

LOL.. you are correct.. but I'll leave it here as it is pertinent to the previously discussed issue

What makes you think that was a "very very bery low price"?  Looks pretty high for a damaged re-release poster on eBay (which nearly always sell for less)!  

HA 1954 release for $402 in 2006 http://movieposters.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=56111&lotNo=25076
HA 1962 RR for $450 in VF condition in 2009: http://movieposters.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=7008&lotNo=85959

I would say that blows holes in your theory, but I'm not foolish enough to believe that one example is representative of every outcome for something as random as movie poster auctions.

   The newly rejuvenated Rich vs. David saga might be the funniest saga I've ever seen.   

Re: the Creature From the Black Lagoon 1P, that price didn't seem very low to me, either.  On the show Inside West Coast Customs a few weeks ago, an office for a Star Wars team had one that was framed next to another French 1P, I can't remember of the other one, but they looked awesome.

Morning all, well I had a great night's sleep and awake to find Rich still going. Remember Rich you said "as someone of Belgian descent, I wish to inform you that in Belgium, several languages are spoken: Belgian, French, Dutch, Flemish, German, Italian and others.. this is why Belgian posters are in French, Flemish & Dutch or German and sometimes some English also" You were imparting information as fact and by saying you were of Belgian descent you in effect were trying to reinforce that statement.

I simply asked (politely) "I always understood Flemish was actually the Dutch language and that there was no such language called Belgian." I didn't even bother with the Italian statement because that was plain silly...but you know that now don't you? Then a whole lot of other people confirmed that basically what I had said was right and as you hate being corrected you lost it, once again.

So go ahead show me where: (a) Belgium is a spoken language (b) Flemish and Dutch are not essentially the same thing (c) and an example of a Belgian poster printed in German - I'd be happy with 2 out of 3.

Matt, as a side note -- the first auction you referenced was actually misidentified by HA as a 1954 first release French 1P. It isn't, but is also another 1962 RR, as evidenced by it also being printed with the same Visa de Censure number (No. 641) as the other. These Visa numbers were begun to be put on French posters in the early 1960's. The 1954 release French 1P shows a full bodied creature coming up behind Julia Adams in the water. I think I have the image. I will post, when I locate it.

Here is a closeup side by side of the Visa numbers from the mislabeled, "1954 release" (on the left) and the 1962 RR on the right (both from the auctions you indicated). They are identical:

 

Here is the same Visa No. on the French medium '62 RR:

on retail lists Matt, that poster is up to $1500 and sometimes more. being posted here did absolutely NOTHING to raise the final price

I was more interested in how cheap the Charlie Chan in Paris went for; that will come up again nice and restored...  Wish I had the balls to buy and flip stuff at that price...

I was going to bid on that piece as you know it has to be rare. However when it wasn't outed on this forum, I was sure it would not go for any real money, but alas.. it went too high because some lurker on this site bought it

Rich, you know very well a "retail list price" means nothing.
