House Of Dracula US HS
The opening bid is $12,500.000

that's not mid-auction analysis, it's will-never-sell analysis.

Sean, it was re-listed (ends in 1 day+), with a lowered opening bid of an even $10K.

But, not surprisingly, no bids at that level, either.

"a clean and bright" half sheet?? To my eye it looks a little sun faded. The poster is matted in a frame. The borders could be chewed up and full of pin holes. This guy is obviously fishing.

It's now been dropped to an opening bid of $9,000.00

And I agree, the bluish color sure looks like this might have been exposed to sunlight for a period of time.

And with shipping only $3.75, I'd be a little concerned that this would be rolled up, and placed "naked" in a flimsy, light weight tube, possibly.

cabmangray · « **Reply #8230 on:** May 14, 2018, 02:56:12 PM »

The only way I would even consider buying this (and I'm not) is to see it in person, out of the frame. Possibly the seller got lucky years ago and bought it for a song, or he knows nothing about movie paper but knows it's good title and wants the max for it. Now we play the "how low will it go" game.

erik1925 · « **Reply #8231 on:** May 14, 2018, 03:35:01 PM »

For sure.

And even if the frame was part of the deal (which it's not), the seller should photograph it out of the frame, since that's how it will be sent. Posters offered that have been photographed in frames can sometimes be a red flag, either hiding damage or printed information on the border, showing that it might be a reprint or reproduction.

The same seller (frankiebaby) actually has 4 Uni horror pieces on ebay at the moment. All have little description and are framed, tho one piece he says he got from HA several years ago -- a HOUSE OF FRANK US H/S, also with a starting bid of $9 grand).

This House of Frank insert got no bids on the first go around - the opening bid was $12K

It's just been relisted, and the revised opening bid has been UPPED by 3 grand, to $15K! Huh?

That follows the Todd Feiertag theory of sales - "If you're not going to sell something, do it for a high price".
Then later, you can always say, this price is a bargain, it's been offered at 3X before.

Just checked Emovie's auction for tomorrow. It's weird. I kinda own everything listed

Except my posters are all in mint condition. I don't do "Good to Very Good". I just don't understand how so many modern posters can be in such poor shape. What do people do with them?

It's possible, Just possible mind, that some of the posters are ectually used for erm, advertising the film.

Popped up in a frame by someone who could care less. Thinking about buying his girlfriend a shake at the new Shake 'em Up venue in the Mall. Considering if he should wear Vans or Converse... But, pretty much anything else other than the long term careful handling of a poster which may in time find itself being discussed on a forum.

More importantly Simes you use the phrase ‘could care less’ I would have thought as a Brit (I pressume) you would have used the correct phrase, ‘couldn’t care less’

I’ve never understood this US version of the saying, and yes, I do have too much time on my hands today.

You presume correctly, a be a Brit.

I must admit, I hadn't given that one any thought. And I do try to give these things some thought.

Perhaps, being in and on an international forum, what you see before you is the homogenising of the English language to be a one-size-fits-all. The various linguistic influences, pulling and pushing people this and that way.

From here on in, 'couldn't care less'.

Thank you.

I wonder what the final result will be on this one. Already up to $242.40.

Ha, I was going to post that Apprentice "signed" poster too!

I'd say something nasty about it but, as Trevor Noah said "no point in being in an endless state of outrage about Donald Trump"

30(ish) more months to live with him....
