Title: PropStore Cinema Poster Auction
Post by: CinematicFanatic on March 24, 2022, 12:23:53 PM: PropStore currently has a movie poster auction running as we speak.

Has anyone purchased anything?

Hope you have been well.

Yes, very expensive indeed. Way overpriced on everything and not to mention the 25% auction fee, plus shipping costs!

A lot of prints at the moment but there is original posters on there too. A few Star Wars bits that people on here have but already looking way overpriced.

I just saw 1,900 pounds for Stout's Kill Bill. Add 25% and it's $3,000. Ridiculous.

Daylight robbery some of these places!

They didn't even bother to take their own photo - just cropped Prop stores image a little smaller.

£6000 ($7920) for the Pulp Fiction "Lucky Strikes" one sheet and £13000 ($17156) for the Star Wars "Hildebrandt" quad - plus commission!

I think the highest one outside of that was the transparent Star Wars artwork which went for around £9,000 from memory?

I sent a guy I work with the link to the auction and he bought the Halloween one, I posted a thread on here for valuation as I'm curious to see whether he got value or not.

Post by: eatbrie on March 25, 2022, 05:27:52 PM: I wonder how true that is, the charity thing, or if it’s just a ploy to make more money. Nothing surprises me these days and I do not trust any charities. It always goes to someone.

Regardless, that’s an insane price for a poster that is rare, but not that rare.

And the Lucky Strike is not rare at all.
