30 x 40 quad reprints on ebay
« on: May 11, 2018, 02:30:55 PM »
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/The-Evil-Dead-Quad-Reprint-30x40-Inches/222975114379?hash=item33ea5a3c8b:g:IK4AAOSwWwVa9ayN

whats your thoughts on these, personally i don't like the fact they are full size and will float around as originals in years to come. they are easy to distinguish but that won't stop people being unscrupulous with them and fleecing people down the line

the seller has loads of the big titles, such as Big Trouble, Nightmare on Elm Street, Star wars, Bond

Seems to be inevitable but buyers/collectors need to take responsibility for doing the research into what they are buying as well...

Yes.

Chris you are right that we do need to do our research but at the same time its disgusting what these scumbags do.

Not all of us are created equal or have the time to research these scumbags.

Yeah, I noticed these too.
We all know they will dupe some/many people sadly, but they are being described as reprints - yes, it's what happens afterwards that's worrying.
A positive spin on it is that I feel it will end up pushing up the prices of genuine examples.
Best wishes,
Adam

If they are printing them themselves I hope the studios go at them full force. I have no problem with authorized licensed reproductions, what pisses me off are the people that pay nothing, rip the art online and then print on demand paying nothing.

i have filed a couple of reports on these, i expect Ebay to take zero action, perhaps others would like to as well?
