We at eMoviePoster.com are coming up on some pretty impressive milestones!We now have 7,368 registered bidders for our auctions, which means it will just be a month or so before we hit 7,500! There is no other movie poster auction or forum with anywhere near this number. Remember that these are actual movie paper collectors. What difference does it make if a site has hundreds of thousands or millions of bidders, if they aren't movie paper collectors?
Next club message will be message #500, and I will be making a couple of really special offers in honor of that occasion! It seems like just a short while ago that I sent that first e-mail to a couple of dozen collectors, but it was actually over ten
YEARS ago! We will also be announcing the activation of the first portion of our online checkout system, which has been the number one request we have received (but for those of you who prefer calling in, know that we won't be eliminating that!).
In a few months (around Halloween time!) we will have our 500th weekly Tuesday auction! I remember well when I first picked Tuesday as a night when few people were busy with anything else, so it seemed like a perfect night for an auction. Little did I know that a few years later one of the most successful TV shows of all time (American Idol) would begin airing on Tuesdays! Thank God for TIVO and DVR, which let people record their favorite shows and not miss our auctions.
Speaking of not missing our auctions, one of the wives of one of our bidders called in a payment for her husband last week, and she said that my name is mentioned a lot in their house, and not in a positive way! She explained that often she would ask her husband to go somewhere and do something with her, and that he would reply, "I would love to, but Bruce's auctions end tonight"!
And we are fast approaching HALF A MILLION entries in our online Sales Results database
http://www.emovieposter.com/sales/priceguide.php (it has over 485,000 results right now)!
And soon we will have ONE THIRD OF A MILLION images in our Poster Image Archive at
http://www.emovieposter.com/imagearchive/stars.php, which is far and away the most movie poster images of any site on the Internet (it has over 313,000 images right now)!!
