Hello all,
Tis' I, the seller in question.
Some background info first.
I lived in LA from 2001-2007 delivering for FedEx, UPS plus another smaller company. I met the man in question while doing this job delivering to Warner Bros where he worked at the time. After a while we got to know each other, became friends and he started to hand me freebies. He had access to all of the advertising and i wasn't into collecting but he insisted saying 'you can always sell them'. On my return to the UK though i kept it up, expanding into UK quads and any other posters i liked. Since my return we have kept in touch and exchanged a lot of posters between us. He sends me one sheets, i send him quads.
These Dark Knight posters came in a package sent over from LA around 7 weeks ago together with a load of others. When i unwrapped these particular posters i was overjoyed as The Dark Knight has become something of a favourite for me where the posters are concerned. However, i couldn't find the description anywhere on the web (although i had seen it before on IMPA) and no other sites had this image, except Amazon who listed it as 'Style G' so that's I called it thinking they know what they're doing.
I spoke to my buddy soon after to ask if he knew what it was called and he said that he knew it as number 10/11 but couldn't say for sure. They were part of his vast collection before he trimmed it down for a relocation and he only got them from his work or from friends at other studios so I can't see it being fake. If he had doubts he would have told me as he knows some go on ebay for mutual benefit. That's about all i know for definite.
I'm only on here to defend my posters. I read Mel's posts and didn't like the way they are worded.
This new quote "I keep getting messages from the seller of that Dark Knight saying I've been defaming him on this board" isn't true. I sent him one message and then another to answer the two (now three) he sent me. What is it with lawyers over-complicating things?
He does have a point with the release date though and i have left my poster pal a message with these concerns. I'm not giving out his name or new job title as i don't want it out there in the public eye. I did give Mel it privately. I've also emailed Warner Bros to see if they can shed any light on this issue but it may not be high on their list of priorities.
When i know more i will get back to you all and if the poster is confirmed as a reprint, fake or just plain made up i will take it off my account or sell it as such to get rid of it.
I don't sell or collect fake posters, i don't see the point and i pride myself on that. I also have a return policy if you are not 100% happy with your purchase, and my account though new, shows that too.
Mel probably doesn't realise this but we traded before on a James Bond quad which he said arrived damaged. So being the nice honest gent i am, i offered a full refund or another poster for free. He chose 'Burn After Reading' which i sent out right away, FOC. Funny thing is, the James Bond quad is on his site and doesn't look damaged at all to me. Hmmmmmmmm.
I welcome any questions.
Thanks for your time.
