So I am pretty much a newbie buyer (like 5 years) and must give praise to Bruce and emovieposter for the EXTREMELY professional way they handle the entire auction process from bidding, to customer service, to ease of payment, etc. I have always paid using paypal previously, but just got off the phone with a woman who took my CC info, that was most pleasant and easy to deal with. Thanks, Bruce & co!
True, but people will pay more for peace of mind. You can't put a price tag on accurately graded MP, bomb-proof packaging, and great customer service
In some of your posts, you call some people "fanboys", others "stupid for linen-backing a poster (that is not something like Breakfast at Tiffany's)", and you make other derogatory remarks towards collectors.Neo, this means war:
Bruce is undoubtedly one of the "big dogs" in the poster collecting world, and he is a very respectable leader.
Regarding Mel's post, It seems like a lot of people here appreciate your posts, and you are a crucial part to this forum, but shouldn't we be trying to unite people who are deserving in the hobby? In some of your posts, you call some people "fanboys", others "stupid for linen-backing a poster (that is not something like Breakfast at Tiffany's)", and you make other derogatory remarks towards collectors. Don't get me wrong, a lot of your posts are funny and provide expert information that is not easy to come across, and it is admirable of you to speak your mind.
Here is a quote from Colin Powell:
Colin Powell's Lesson 12 -
"Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier. The ripple effect of a leader's enthusiasm and optimism is awesome. So is the impact of cynicism and pessimism. Leaders who whine and blame engender those same behaviors among their colleagues. I am not talking about stoically accepting organizational stupidity and performance incompetence with a "what, me worry?" smile. I am talking about a gung ho attitude that says "we can change things here, we can achieve awesome goals, we can be the best." Spare me the grim litany of the "realist"; give me the unrealistic aspirations of the optimist any day.”

Mel was obviously being at least partially sarcastic...
And he wasn't criticizing Bruce (which anyone is free to do by the way, if they have a well-reasoned concern - same goes for any other seller/dealer/auction host)
Mel is quite correct that the competition can be fierce on eMovie as there are many choice pieces and thus draws many "high rollers" - eBay certainly still has it's uses...
I've been impugned and pummeled many times by the goofballs on the board, so what comes around goes around.Neo, you will learn soon enough that if you disagree with Mel or raise any questions about his posts you get thrown in the 'goofball' bin, to be disregarded in his mind forever.
a "holy grail" poster - like the Empire Strikes Back international

Welcome to Goofball Anonymous!
Goofball is right.
I think sniping turns an auction sort of into a Make An Offer sale... the best price offer wins...
Buying from Emovieposter gets my thumbs up too.
I also hate sniping, but the extended bidding did cause me trouble at the last mini/major, in the heat of that situation I spent more then I wanted/planed on. But I digress I love the fact that at eight eastern every tues and thurs I know it's time to check my bids.
don't sweat the petty stuff.
and Jaws1975 is always lurking about ready to take a bite out of your wallet! :)
Who collects Sarah Jessica Parker?
Is that the best example you could come up with, Bruce?
