Nice ones, Dale. I grabbed the final style of The Acolyte from the Disney Rewards site yesterday...also looking forward to it, although I usually wait until all eps are up before starting to watch. I just hope it's more Andor/Mando then Obi-Wan...

Looking forward to the Acolyte. A bloody light saber poster is a great start.  Couldn't agree more about Obi-wan... Ashoka also sucked major tusken balls.

Same here, I follow new arrivals in retailer and find most of them having ridiculous prices.  And I know that a few are even getting them from emovieposter 
Tob, since you usually check FilmArtGallery, you can tell if he buys from there or not 

Totally agree, I won't be happy neither to know I paid x10 the price market... but most markets online are fuck*d up. Lot of ebay users posting stuff at ridiculous prices; some resellers will set their retail prices based on ebay and use indeed some dubious sale pitch.

There is thin line between "reselling" and "scalping".   "Reselling" means resell with a fair markup, based on market price.  "Scalping" means to make a huge markup on product by controlling its market price and scarcity and often done for event tickets, fine art and electronic (graphic card, PS, etc.) (this definition is different from the stock auctions definition which means to make huge profit on small prices changes by buying/selling large stock).

Definition of "scalping" can't be applied to movie posters as there are plenty of availability in the market. But still, some guys are doing it, hoping for a fool to buy it.
What annoys me much is that these guys are indeed bidding on almost everything, just to increase estimated/market value, this is part of their marketing strategy.  And if it is a registered business, even better, they can scalp/stock their posters as business assets for many years and continue to sell them at crazy prices.... until they close their business with a poor exit strategy, that is to sell their assets at low price/cost or insurance value (which is definitely lower than advertised prices) to another retailers.

It was nice of him to give APF that personal greeting and best wishes when the site first started. Obviously a man of great taste!

Kind of anxious to see the Acolyte, looks intriguing.

Yeah, those are fair points. There is a dealer I follow on social media who is a bit loose with the truth in terms of his sales patter regarding scarcity and value and it annoys me. It's almost a rite of passage to get burnt by overpaying for a poster or two in the early days of collecting (or maybe it's just me that did it!), but it would be a great shame if that experience turned new collectors away.
