Hi, no. Wasn't bidding on it.

Just wasn't sure what it was, or where it hailed from.

paul waines · « **Reply #1676 on:** May 16, 2015, 01:40:47 PM »

I was under bidder on it, but only because I couldn't bid live, or I'd have went that bit more...

It's a Double Crown, and I'm sure from the first release. Most Double Crowns have much more basic artwork and are not as colourful as the Quads. I know on the ABC circuit FRWL was on a double-bill, as I'm sure it was on the Odeon. I need to dig my books out to just check, but I'm sure thats right.

Can't see from the site.

Thank you in advance.

Eye catching text only, too, that's for sure.

This Moonraker Seiko 'quad' just went for £340 plus ~20% BP today.

http://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/omega-auctions/catalogue-id-srom10052/lot-62b184f9-b258-49ef-a768-a4a60116ecaf

£400+. Anyone here pick this up? This is reminiscent of that Die Another Day 1 sheet on emp recently. A competition poster.

I was tempted but at that price....

Harry Caul · « **Reply #1688 on:** June 09, 2015, 10:01:32 AM »

Thanks for waiting until after the auction on the MR Seiko poster

My bid maxed out at 220 GBP

paul waines · « **Reply #1689 on:** June 09, 2015, 11:25:11 AM »

Simon did you have a go at it yourself?

Simes · « **Reply #1690 on:** June 09, 2015, 04:32:27 PM »

Nope, must admit I wasn't really interested.

I did look and figured, if it doesn't go above £40, I'd have a pop.... Clearly out of touch with these items!

Thank you in advance.

It went for £96.

So this means that so long as someone has some paper measuring 30x40, paints a James Bond film title on it, it sells for ~£100.

Bloody hell. Was it anyone here? Can anyone now tell me its raison d'etre, and why it is worth anything at all?

Cheers.

Anyone, anyone...?

Harry Caul · « **Reply #1693 on:** June 17, 2015, 02:39:24 PM »

Not me, but only because I already have a text only one-off Bond that I'm happy with...

Because Bond collectors are fanatical, and will buy anything related.....?

Well, I hope that will be the case for that Thunderball / Goldfinger quad listed on emp - currently sitting at $3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More "Outing" perhaps???

(Yes, I do indeed jest, Mr, Simes.

Simes · « **Reply #1698 on:** June 19, 2015, 10:55:15 AM »

Well, it went for ~$340.

I must admit to surprise at that sum. I have seen, and ended up in buying, only two examples of this poster. Both were on ebay.co.uk and both were ~£500.

This is an example where ebay proved better than emp, surprisingly. Which leads me to a question;

Is there any feeling or experience that UK posters do not fare as well on emp as on a UK based auction site? US posters on emp do very well. Is there not an appetite for UK posters, by comparison?

On another note, this makes for the second large(ish) loss on a poster purchase and sale.

1. I bought from Vectis a Dr No quad which was very heavily restored and perhaps I should have returned it. I spent £3700, and, having returned it to Vectis, it sold, commission free, for £950.

2. And of course the above Goldfinger / Thunderball quad that cost me £500 and sold for $340 - however that translates to me in terms of auction profit.

Quite clearly, I won't be the Next Big Thing in poster dealing!

paul waines · « **Reply #1699 on:** June 19, 2015, 11:59:23 AM »

I have to say Simon I think it wasn't a bad price Emovie got for that D/B. As we all know, what items are listed for and what they actually sell for are two different things. I think it was a UK buyer too as I recognise the name who bought it. What you need to think is, if you paid too much for an item, you can't expect another buyer to pay for you mistake. Scarcity does not mean big money, it's all about supply and demand.

And to answer your Question, I do personally think you get more for UK posters over here than selling in the US.There are of course the exceptions but as a rule of thumb.
