Since we already have a "Sellers to Avoid" thread, I figured it was just to have a "Sellers to Praise" thread. Please list any movie poster dealer that you've had good experiences with overall on repeated occasions. I'll start with ones that I know are really great!
1) cinemacollectorsvegas
2) intergalactic
3) brude2000
4) cinemasterpieces

Thank you, Ryan. You are too kind.

That really sux louie. I mean really REALLY sux cause as bad as it is to get a damaged piece, getting a damaged piece you have been hunting for is that much worse.
I have bought from that seller a handful of times without a problem. Never a lobby though as they were all posters.
I will also add that when I was even newer I bought from some "bad" sellers before I had read to stay away without a problem. On the flip side, I have also bought from "good" sellers and gotten less than desirable results.
Ebay has been a total crap shoot for me.

I have to say the seller post sale was pretty good, but still, if you have been in the business that long you should know how to pack a lobby card. Bruce, Rich, and Heritage do a SUPER job.................................although Bruce should use a different tape on the inside, some of those packages are REALLY hard to open ;)
-
If talking about sellers in general, away from eBay, here are my sellers to praise (in no particular order and based solely on my experiences as a buyer):
Bruce (eMoviePoster)
Rich (MoviePosterBid)
Dave (CineMasterpieces)
Mike (MEM)
Terry & Sue (Quadbod)
Best,
Ad

I would like to add Quadbod to the list of sellers who deserve praise . Terry & Sue are great people to deal with, and to know. Nothing is too much bother for them. I would place them as My personal number 1 seller, and it's not just because they sell mostly Quads. It's their customer relations, it's second to none.
-
Many thanks, Adz & Paul ... it's our pleasure ... and having good customers makes it altogether jollyfine ... in fact, totally spiffing!
Best wishes,
Terry - www.quadbod.co.uk

I don't buy much these days, but I'd certainly have to tip my hat to:
Dale (ddilts)
Graeme (Picture Trader/Poster Trader) at Ebay and Movieposterbid.com
abclebanon (Ebay)
kristell
semyns
cglaberson

...more to come...

Rich Halegua, individually: Best source for original Miramax posters (Pulp Fiction, etc.)
Mid-level dealers - if you can't find the poster at auction or don't want to wait for it and are willing to pay somewhat higher prices (but not rip-off prices):
filmartgallery.com (especially if want a LB poster)
majesticposters.com (best prices for a dealer)
fffmovieposters.com (has outstanding large pics of all posters, from the owner's personal collection, I check this site daily, they're adding 20 posters every day)
kinoart.net (in Germany, but best general source for European posters, site available in English language (http://kinoart.net/content_home_en.php))

It's evident much of the poster buying experience on Ebay is "luck-of-the-draw". Some people have repeated bad experiences with certain sellers while others have nothing but good experiences from those same sellers. However, it's a rare gem to find a dealer where nobody has had bad experiences with. Sigh...

I agree their packaging could be better. I put them on the list due to their disclosure practices. My biggest pet peeve is non-disclosure! Weak packaging is probably a close second though.

I'll throw in movieposterzone and voodoohog.

Yeah, the Halloween I bought from him belonged to a friend of his and he didn't know much about it, so I don't think he sells many posters.
-
I would throw John Reid (AUS) in here as a seller I have been impressed with. Prompt shipment in a study tube as described.

A folded Halloween 1978 blue ratings box. It's in June aquisitions.

Majesticposters do have good prices, but not the best.

You mean his barn reference? Nope.

What is his "barn reference"?
-
Bruce-
I'm guessing that 'pict_res' chose his/her Ebay name because 'pictures' was already taken.
My two cents.
'Barn' reference? You got me swinging.

by the way.. when you praise the great packaging, the thoughful emails or the fast responses you get to your questions when buying from my auctions.. you're really praising my helper, Anna who does a great job. She does the billings and the orders and the packages (although I taught her of course), so if you're a buyer, once in a while do me a favor and tell her how helpful she is.. she has an ego too you know

I try. Anna is first rate, and yes, I have noticed that she is your voice, post sales.

Just got tube from Dale Dilts... quality communication, fast dispatch and both posters pristine, that's how it should be done ;D
-
I did a local pickup at Heritage in Dallas for my last order. They brought my stuff out and took me to a viewing room to look at my posters before I left. The girl who helped me was very friendly and helpful. That place is locked up tighter than Fort Knox though. Oh, and be careful driving a truck or SUV into the buildings parking garage. Its more made for Ferraris.
-
I had a very good experience with ebay seller collector52.
Looking at her items, I see she is not primarily a poster dealer. However the price was very reasonable on a lesser poster (Bye Bye Birdie insert - Christmas gift for sister)
She was very responsive on e-mails. She shipped the poster xpresspost from Canada the day I won it, which was more than promised. Best of all, the poster was rolled and triple tubed. Probably the best packing I have seen from someone who doesn't do this daily.
positive rating.

I just had a terrific experience with Ebay seller hollywoodmovieposters, Margaret and Ron Borst. Sound familiar?
Complete transaction took less than three days. I spotted the poster and it was in my hands in 3 days. Super packaging and great communication.
Here's a link of what they currently have on Ebay. Save them to favorite dealer status. Excellent!

I actually thought it was short for Picture Resolution when read his name in this thread... However, I read your post before I ordered.
I felt confident in ordering from him based on the feedback here.
Btw, I still want to order some posters from your site, but your cart is down. :(
-
I gave Phillip your comment, and he will be answering it soon. The likely answer is that you are non-U.S., and as of right now, the cart can't do those (but the programmers are working on it right now, and that will be the next improvement).
I will post Phil's answer soon, but I have a gigantic mini-major auction to finish, and so does Phil (and trust me, it will be worth the wait)!

So the two posters I bought from pict_res are up again with the same photos. :o
Should I be worried?

No. He's legit. Happened a couple times to me...

Nope. He bought from poster distributors when the posters came out and he has multiples of most. Nothing to worry about at all.

There is a memoribillia event usually held at the SECC once a year..have you ever ventured up to Scotland Terry?
Stew

Hi, Stew!
Sadly, no. We've never ventured further north than Newcastle - and that was ages ago.
Needless to say, if you do decide to make the trip - there'll be TWO more pens AND a new surprise!
Seriously, though, the travel costs are getting prohibitive, aren't they? This weekend's event in Peterborough promises to be a good one. It's a new organiser (for us) and they seem to have prepared a really impressive line-up of features - including (at last count) over 80 guest signers!

God I have to travel that far to get a decent chunk of tofu. Imagine living in a country like australia. last time I got a bus from Perth to Sydney took from Monday morning to friday midnight driving 24 hours a day, and just about NOTHING in between. NOW it takes me 6 hours to get to perth, THEN have to get to Sydney.

Thanks for putting it all into perspective, Ari!

Yeah but 5 hours is spent trying to convince the border guards why they should let you into Perth to come to Sydney. ;)
Thanks for putting it all into perspective, Ari!
The place is bigger than most people think - something like 30 times bigger than the UK. Not sure how much of the land is populated by people however, would be quite a small percentage. That said the Drop bears inhabit under 1% of the land, so that is lucky for the human population.
-
theres a large colony of drop bears on the WA/SA border, the bus driver wouldn't let us out for a piss (smoke) for a hundred mile stretch. I saw a lot of Kangaroo carcasses on that part of the road. quite scary.

Don't worry, Stew - Peterborough's nothing like that at all - never seen a drop bear anywhere near it.

But watch out for those imported giraffes.

Accidents like this giraffe-plane disaster are rare, but as one who travels the roads an awful lot, the number of deer I see in this condition is criminal.
I always carry containers, blankets and gloves to aid distressed animals.
In most cases, there isn't much time to save them, but I always try.
Right now, we have too many Canada Geese fledglings on the shoulders of the highways in New York.

What? He got back up after the first hit?

yes, he/she was running down the HWY on the side of the road, I slowed down from doing 110 to 60, it felt SLOW after going fast, to drive past it. Just as I was about to go past it ran straight into the front of the car. Bounced, got up and ran into the bush. I slowed down even more and freaked for a while, driving along (My wife and daughter were in the car).
A bit down the road, I saw it running on the other side of the road in the bush and a second later, rushed out and straight into the car again!
Needless to say I stopped and nearly cried. But he ran off again. I assume with a sore arse.
What a day.

I was driving a rental van up in the mountains of Colorado. I rounded a corner and a herd of elk were dead ahead. Managed to stop the van in time. Then the big bull elk went and butted into the side of the van, caving in the sliding door.
Try explaining THAT to the rental company.

haha, sorry not funny.

Stop trying to put him off Terry....
Unfortunately the really bad news is I don't think I'll be going.... :'( We have out of town friends who are visiting on the Saturday, and I don't want to go sunday, due to certain guests not attending, plus having to get up for work the next day...
Shoddy business....

Just had a great experience with Ebay seller the_apartment_cinema.
Received this double-sided '02 re-release in perfect condition, thanks to real careful packaging: rolled inside of another poster and then -- double-tubed.
I asked for careful packing and he went the extra step.
(http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu12/brude2000/LANG_Fritz_-1927-_Metropolis_US000-8_cartel-2002.jpg)
He has a couple of other posters up now. I would definitely buy from him again.

OK I know Bruce does enough "Praising" on his own, but I must say I was more than impressed with my latest experience. I recently had instructed the wonderful lady that answers the phones to just automatically charge my winnings the next time I won something... Well heck if they didn't do that and ship it the same day.
I won that FAFDM Insert on Tuesday night and it showed up today! That is less than four days - 91 hours to be exact!
Now that is pretty awesome in my book... I know one big auction house that could learn a thing or two from emovie (no not you Rich!)...
Thanks Bruce and emovieposter.com!

emovieposter... just got 2 tubes and one flat package, so well done! when I open the first tube i said: shit! just paper, they stole my posters! well.... i didn´t know that in emovieposter put paper in between every poster lol
-
I must also sing the praise for emovieposter, just received my first shipment from them (Sugar Hill) & everyone I dealt with was beyond awesome. The packaging was bullet proof so much so that even Canada Post was at a loss trying to damage it (received it unscathed). Just a awesome experience.

Recently purchased a rolled RotLA (Amsel art) from a seller named Rick Dignan, who used to own a store called "Dreams" in San Anselmo, CA. Package got lost temporarily by USPS, but Rick remained in contact with me daily. Friendly guy, great seller, nice items.

I was in Paris this weekend and visited one of the last of the walk in poster stores left on the earth :(. Picked up the small French (22''x33'') affiche from CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF (LA NUIT DU LOUP-GAROU) ;D. I highly recommend INTEMPOREL (22 rue Saint-Martin, 75004, Paris) and the owner Stanislas Choko. Nice guy and a nice store with some great posters on the wall (a beautiful LAWRENCE OF ARABIA and some French films I didn't recognize). While I was there a couple was looking at a pair of Rita Hayworths, a US three sheet from LADY FROM SHANGHAI and another French monster sized Rita. Check his website: www.intemprel.com. If nothing else go to Paris and walk along the Seine, have a crepe and enjoy one of the most beautiful cities in Europe ;).

What on earth is a drop bear? Consider the "black cats" that roam NSW, SA and Victoria. I once met a retired circus performer who said a panther from the show gave birth to a litter of cubs(?) and he was told to take them down to the river and drown them. He couldn't do it, so he drove them into the bush and left them. This was supposed to have happened in the 1950's in country Victoria.
-
We have the Denmark panther down here. Never seen it myself.
Did see a "Tasmanian tiger " apparently, between Perth and Albany.

(http://images.wikia.com/uncyclopedia/images/e/e3/Government_Drop_Bear_Warning.jpg)
-
Yeah those Drop Bears are pretty bad down that way Ari, so I've heard anyway. Saw a rare dead one on the side of the road the other day when walking the dogs, figured it had been nailed by a convertible, when it missed its mark...gave it a kick for good measure. Bastards.

Once a drop bear latches onto you, there's no escape...

I accidentally rooted a drop bear once, long story, starts with tequila ends with an arrest. Bad night.

I still have a slight scar on my arm from a koala hanging from it about 6-7 yearsd ago. Poor thing had survived a bushfire and was a bit scared and wasn't keen to let go. I was helping at a recovery shelter and being a fairly big male got to handle most of the troubled souls. There were some lovely placid little creatures as well.

Good for you, Rick.
I found this earlier. They are such unique critters.

Ha, my Step-Daughter is up at Edinburgh this weekend. She's just sent me pics of the Frankenstein pub we were in last time all of us were up in Edinburgh. The Zoo is quite the ticket also.

fantomas38000 - super accurate descriptions of posters, talked with them & had my 4 posters easily combined in shipping. they got from barcelona to orlando in two days. well packed, the package took on a sizable dent but that didn't get through all of the layers. really happy all around

While they do a fine job in most respects and seem to be getting better, their packaging could be improved, particularly for international shipping. Their biggest problem, though, is their overall over-grading (not a lot, but persistent) and undocumented problems (writing and/or stickers on back, holes, etc.). I would not avoid them as a seller since the still offer more good than bad, but one should know what to expect...

I bought a poster recently that was listed as a 4/5 (implying 8/10). I would probably grade it a C5 tops.

MOVIE POSTER EXCHANGE NEW WEBSITE
Not sure if this should go here. But I just want to say that the new MPE website is FANTASTIC. What an improvement. I thought it was good, but now it makes my life so much better. I find it easier to navigate. It looks great.

Not sure how many of you are really in the German video poster market but I'm giving full props to eBay seller "all-about-movies-bayreuth". Been back to this well many times largely because he ships a seemingly limitless number of posters for no additional postage cost.
-
I just wanted to voice my thanks to Bruce and Rich. I recently won my first MoviePosterBid.com auction and Emovieposter.com auction. I am sure it is to no one's surprise both were extremely professional/easy transactions.
Thank you much!

jedgerley is a seller to praise. Bought a bunch of stuff from him. He is great to work with and ships fast. Also packs posters in solid tubes not the cheap thin ones that you can bend but the thick solid tubes. He is also a great guy to talk to. happy1 for this guy and will be buying from again. He is a member of this forum and he also sells on eBay as well. Great prices on his posters as well.

I just received my poster from Bruce & Co (emovie) yesterday afternoon. It was won last Tuesday, shipped the day after the 4th of July, on Friday and arrived on Monday.
Packaging was superb, it was trackable all the way, as it progressed here and the OS was just as shown and described on his site! thumbup
Thanks, much, Bruce and the Team!

It's always good to read when sellers have good items and take extra care in their packaging.. that is SO key and vital.
Good to hear and read about jedgerley, Randy.
Congrats to both.

Transactions with ebay sellers are a crapshoot, but massive props to dark.matters for such a deal that I've been smiling days after receiving my posters.
There's heavy levels vitriol towards Posteritati, but i can't talk smack. The hustle is legit.

Rich,
This might not be the right thread but since I'm in the gambling business I'm curious to know/see what your favorite gambling related poster is!
-
you know what, I've been eating dinner thinking about your question and I realized I do not have a single "favorite"
I look at my collection (or more specifically it's parts) as a single living organism or as my children and I love all of them equally
of course, having some 3000-4000 gambling pieces makes it sort of difficult to choose something.

BIG THUMBS UP TO Dave aka Hallucination Generation.
As you all know Dave has been selling off his collection.
I inquired about his Metropolis Quad last week. I made a decent offer plus I had to pay shipping from the U.K. to Washington, DC . I was stoked to say the least. I love the art!
Well get this..... instead of making even a small profit from me, Dave the honest chap he is pointed me to the site to buy it directly from the source. Here is the best part, (besides his honesty and a great deal to begin with) They ship for free! saving me even more of my hard earned cash. woo hoo!
Basically I made an offer that he could have easy accepted made a bit of profit from me...instead takes the time and effort to hook up a fellow collector!
Big ups and ruspect!! (Ali G style lol) and Cheers man!
oh and here is the link to get one :)

Do you have it already? Shipping is free but in a flimsy tube with no added protection. First time two of my orders arrived ruined - slight nick on the tube, disaster on the posters- and the other one did not arrive. They did ship again for free, but in the same tube and with similar results. Then I gave up. Try asking them to sent in a safe tube.

Yes, there is no way their tubes will survive a transatlantic journey - when they first came out it took me three attempts to get an undamaged one - it only had to travel ten miles - and they are unlikely to have access to stronger tubes. I would advise you to improve your chances by having it sent to a UK member who can re-tube it for you. I am happy to do that if you pm me.
Dave is a stand up guy - he sold me a great and very unusual Marley poster at cost - even though I was willing to pay him more for his trouble.

Well thanks Mark Mondo and Dave, I am feeling better about their packaging. Here is the response I received:
Hi Jason,
Yeah, the tubes are pretty crap. However I’m guessing these people ordered from us a long while ago as we now send posters double tubed so they’re pretty bomb proof.

That's why i never mentioned it.

Bought a poster from a man called Gohil out of Mumbai , poster as described.....he only accepts WU or bank transfer but I used WU. Worked just fine , took about a month (stuck in U.K customs few days)
-
Just wanted to say that I haven't opened one of Bruce's packages in a long time, maybe 6 months... There is no need to check and see if they arrived ok and I trust that they will be in there when I open them. Lee sends me pictures so I don't have to do that myself. And if they are not in there, I am sure he will make it right... What a great feeling to have. Thanks EMP!
Probably need to go ahead and open them though. :P
-
grimreaper78larry on ebay is a great guy. He knows how to package and his item description was right on the money. I would buy from him again and I would recommend him to anyone that is looking to buy something from him.

Thanks.
I've bought from them and they're perfectly fine, but bear in mind
- They sell reprints, so be careful if it's originals you're after. All clearly labelled, but just be aware.
- They're a little pricey for some posters
- They're based in the US, so if you're in the UK (a guess based on the URL you posted), shipping can be a little pricey
If you're after new release posters, I usually find ebay is a good place if you choose the sellers wisely. Dale posts on here and is a great seller, this is his store - http://stores.ebay.com/Movie-Posters-4U?_trksid=p2047675.l2563

Just got in a new FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLFMAN lobby card from Steve Kast (nosepickingspaz@comcast.net) of Vacaville, Ca. With out a doubt one of the best packaging jobs ever. The card was sandwiched in between two pieces of oversized foam core and had EIGHT, EIGHT layers of cardboard! Plus he charged only 8.50 for postage when it cost just over 23 bucks to send. The man is a real mensch. I made up the postage difference and am one happy camper.

Alexandra and Ron over at MotionPictureArt.com (http://www.motionpictureart.com/home.php (http://www.motionpictureart.com/home.php))
I recently ordered 7 banners and a one sheet from MotionPictureArt.com and the transaction was everything you'd want.
Alexandra was extremely friendly and prompt with her responses, responding within 24 hours (I'm in the US, they are in the Netherlands).
The packaging was terrific (not a ding on anything after the long journey) and the shipping was fast (5 business days).
The items themselves look fantastic and were as described, if not better. Alexandra even emailed prior to shipment to inform me of a few extra points of edge wear on one of the banners so that there were no surprises.
Excellent transaction all around. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from them again in the future.

Nothing but the best words for poster seller, John Green (aka fellow APF member DarvishJo).
http://www.musicman.com/mp/mp.html
His communication, ease of transaction, help and info, make him a top notch seller.
I bought a poster from him last Thurs, and it was here the following Monday (today).
Thanks again, John. star.gif star.gif star.gif star.gif star.gif
And your poster blog posts, here on APF, Rock, too!!

I just wanted to take a few minutes and add my comments on several reliable sellers. In no particular order. All of these sellers had excellent communication, easy payment, good packaging, and are recommended. I would do business with any of these sellers again.
Ari was easy and simple to buy from. offaleater.com/ (http://offaleater.com/) As I saw items I wanted he put them aside for me, I like this because it gave me time to browse and no worries about the stuff being sold. After payment he responded with a tracking number. A short time later I received my stuff from Aussie to the States. Recommended without a doubt.
John, a.k.a. DarvishJo on the forum. www.musicman.com/mp/mp.html (http://www.musicman.com/mp/mp.html) the website has so much stuff to offer. I sent him a list, he told me how much and where to send the money. The shipping was lightning fast. Communication was frequent from my side as I had questions. He was very quick to respond to me. Recommended for sure.
Dale, a.k.a. ddilts399 on the forum. He has an ebay store with the same seller name ddilts399. I contacted him with a wish list through the forum. He promptly responded with my total and where to send the funds. A few days later I received my stuff. He used an old scarp bin poster to protect the outside and ends of the good stuff. Lightning fast shipping as well. Great source for more recent movies.
Bruce and emovieposter.com (http://emovieposter.com) get a lot of love around here. They have a handy pay and hold program I use frequently. They use brown craft paper to protect the posters in transit. Not good for long term storage (IMHO) but great for shipping. This place can be very addictive, lots of stuff you didn't even know you wanted. Lastly, stay away from my bids! HAHA
I have made comments in the past about certain items being harder to find for me. This is because I am very cautious of who I buy stuff from. This limits my activity on Ebay. That being said I have dealt with an Ebay seller named grimreaper78larry who is a pleasure to buy from. His stuff varies, but always fairly described and photographed. Recommended ebayer, to my knowledge he is not one of us here.

I have purchased frames from a few different places. I have 2 I want to mention.
Spotlight Displays www.spotlightdisplays.com/ (http://www.spotlightdisplays.com/) are easy to deal with. The frames can but custom cut to any dimensions. They have a range of colors avaliable. Plus they have a discount code for APFers. These frames are great for me to display my modern stuff that I change frequently. I use an art core board with these frames (not supplied) because it reduces the "snap" factor. So it puts less pressure on the edges of the posters.
Hollywood Poster Frames www.hollywoodposterframes.com (http://www.hollywoodposterframes.com) is also a good supplier for frames. They have a range of "levels" from ecomony to archival. Which each level has varying features. They custom cut to order any dimensions, and also have a range of colors. These frames are made to be sealed and seldom/never changed.

Rich from MoviePosterBid.com has an excellent pay and hold system. I have some posters on hold for over a year and I reckon Rich will hold it forever, or until I am ready to have them sent! thumbsup.gif I should be able to find something else to purchase in the occasional upcoming MPB auctions so I reckon sometime during 2016 I might say, ok, maybe send them now.

I would like to add Martin, user name here is Canadian1sh. He had a few items I was looking for. He sent me multiple pictures of the posters, carefully detailing any "problem" areas on the posters. Like small edge wear, corner fold, stuff like that. He sent me a detailed email of the transaction. After payment he sent me a tracking number. Not to long after that, a hard plastic tube arrived. Filled with carefully packaged posters. I definitely recommend Martin, it was a pleasure all around.

Had a first time dealing with Dale Dilts last week. The packaging was like Fort Knox and the shipping time was at light speed, getting to me in 2 days. He even resolved one issue and will be sending a replacement poster for one that had some damage to an area of the surface of it, when it arrived.
Overall, it was a good experience.
Thanks again, Dale.
cheers

Dale is a top-shelf, numero-uno superdude.
Only issue I have with him is that he has a ginormous collection and no website to show it off to all of us.

They say the test of a good seller is when something goes wrong - despite plenty of orders over the years, I had my first damaged tube from Tim at Favourite Film this week...he handled it perfectly and with no fuss. An excellent seller and a good chap too, very much recommended:

I know he's highly thought of around these parts but I would add another glowing endorsement of Dale. Bought plenty from him the last few years, always top notch to deal with.
Also picked something up from Adam/Bondposters for the first time recently and thought he was great to deal with, very smooth all round. Thanks, guys!

I'm still a bit new at this, but I've been especially impressed with:
John at cinemagraphics (eBay) - lots of personal communication, high quality LCs, reasonable prices, and a few extra surprise cards included in my orders. Personal touch, and a great guy.
Stefan (slidemen) (eBay) - Great communication, high quality mostly German card sets that I've haven't found elsewhere on eBay. Great prices on mint full sets, and a personal "thank you" for each order.
toddfeiertag (eBay) - Outstanding quality, and the most bulletproof packaging I've seen (double cardboard taped with finesse, in peanuts, in a large box). Wow.

John at cinemagraphics (eBay) - lots of personal communication, high quality LCs, reasonable prices, and a few extra surprise cards included in my orders. Personal touch, and a great guy.
Stefan (slidemen) (eBay) - Great communication, high quality mostly German card sets that I've haven't found elsewhere on eBay. Great prices on mint full sets, and a personal "thank you" for each order.
toddfeiertag (eBay) - Outstanding quality, and the most bulletproof packaging I've seen (double cardboard taped with finesse, in peanuts, in a large box). Wow.
One of the premiere guys of the UNI Horror "collector's guild." Todd knows his stuff and has been in the hobby a long time. And he's a good guy, too. thumbsup.gif

Rich Halegua, individually: Best source for original Miramax posters (Pulp Fiction, etc.)
Mid-level dealers - if you can't find the poster at auction or don't want to wait for it and are willing to pay somewhat higher prices (but not rip-off prices):
filmartgallery.com (especially if want a LB poster)
majesticposters.com (best prices for a dealer)
fffmovieposters.com (has outstanding large pics of all posters, from the owner's personal collection, I check this site daily, they're adding 20 posters every day)
kinoart.net (in Germany, but best general source for European posters, site available in English language (http://kinoart.net/content_home_en.php))
We're just a little behind on saying thanks for the kind words about FFF Movie Posters, but THANKS! :D

Hi all,
Wanted to say a massive thanks to Wim (Mondo Hazardo) of movie-ink.com (http://movie-ink.com) over in Amsterdam.
Was searching for a very long time for a particularly rare 1-sheet and was referred to Wim through Hicks (Hicks77)
Couldn't be happier with how it all turned out. Prompt communication and bulletproof multi-layered packaging ensured it arrived just as pristine as I'd hoped it would! ;D
Was very reasonably priced and also arrived with a pretty cool complimentary movie-ink flyer which aside from looking pretty sweet, just added that extra touch of professionalism that I really appreciate when buying posters online.
Anyway, just wanted to send out a big thanks to Wim and to also my fellow collectors on this forum for helping me finally track this elusive poster down!
Check out Wim's online store at www.movie-ink.com/movieinkwebshop/ (http://www.movie-ink.com/movieinkwebshop/)
Cheers!
Brian :)

Glad you were finally able to track that poster down, and good to hear it was a positive experience! I've had his shop booked mark for along time, but never had the occasion to use it. Will have to stop by again soon.

Hey Brian - did the poster arrive safe and sound? Could you post a pic of it? Would be awesome to see. thumbsup.gif

There was some uncertainty in the description about whether a poster on technocomix site was single or double sided. When asked, they replied that evening, telling me that all copies in stock appeared to be SS, but they would check their warehouse. Over the next few days they kept in touch as they looked, and finally found a mint DS one that should have sold for more than the SS version. They didn't hesitate to sell it for the SS price and shipped quickly along with a few others I ordered. These weren't high dollar posters, but they still treated me like a preferred customer. Outstanding personal attention from a friendly seller.

A great experience with jtoh014 here on the forum. A poster he sent from Singapore was held up for months (and finally lost) at the incoming notoriously incompetent and corrupt Chicago ISC. J went above and beyond to replace it, searching for another, then replacing it. Over two months investigating, tracking through Singapore Post and USPS, then finding a replacement and sending it at his own expense, keeping in touch often through the entire issue. Thank you J, you're awesome!

Yep, I agree, jtoh14 is a good guy - as trustworthy as they come.

Hi All,
A little late on this one but a big thanks to Chris9000 for coming through with the goods. Had been searching for years for The Revenant style C variant and finally have one to add to the collection!
Super fast shipping (especially considering it was sent internationally) and packed with tremendous care. Promptly replied to all questions and emails. An smooth transaction all around.
A genuine, friendly enthusiast; always fun chatting to about all things movies & posters.
Wouldn't hesitate to buy from Chris again in future :)
PS: I think he may be downsizing his collection, so keep an eye out. Plenty of unique pieces up for grabs.
