You are conflating two different issues:

1. Outing an in-progress auction can potentially lead to extra bidders and a higher final sale price.
2. Discussing a previously sold poster on this forum can potentially lead to extra bidders and a higher final sale price on the NEXT COPY to come up for sale.



1. It can also potentially lead to fewer bidders and a lower final sale price if the pre-auction discussion is negative e.g. the poster may not be original, it can be found cheaper elsewhere, it is deemed unattractive etc.
2. The discussion of any poster in any thread on this forum can lead to that outcome - or the opposite.

Mel had the only rolled Man With the Golden Gun teaser 1-sheet and rolled 2001 star child poster (NSS re-release poster, not the wilding poster) I've ever seen.  He also had a rare Big Lebowski int'l 1-sheet.  All three were in the last rolled 1-sheet auction at eMovieposter so I figured it couldn't be a coincidence.

The ET spacecraft one sheet, that has black paint over the "coming this Summer" text, at eMovie also may have been his.

I think I remember all the posters that I wouldn't mind having from other collectors... Sounds like a good thread starter...

Forget Chandler, let's really turn this into an experiment with a poster no one would want under any circumstances (...or would they?) 
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you exhibit A, DOLPHIN SUNSET http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&auction_uid1=3751043

So now that the experiment is over and DOLPHIN SUNSET sold for a mere $4 that settles it I guess -- White rectangles over bums do nothing to raise the value of a poster.

Yep - they only increase auction results when placed over nipples

I think it means the opposite of "inning an auction?" (and part of that whole belly button thing, too).  imbecile.gif

I have not heard the term outing auctions before, but I am against letting more people know about auctions that are on going. Money is to be made when less people know about something. If you want to keep such a thread to members only that would be OK I guess; but whatever method allows the less people to know about current auctions the better.

Please don't out the auctions I know about, though please do out the other ones. Also, only to help you, please let me know the ones you don't want me to out.

An admirable sentiment. In all honesty though, if a particular Bond piece came up for auction which you really, really needed for your collection would you publicise it?

Not trying to create an argument, genuinley interested in your thoughts.

A good question.  And to answer thoroughly honestly, I would not out it, but if it was outed, I would take it in the spirit of the exercise and accept it as Internet Sharing.

I believe this would further the chances of someone outing a Bond piece that I had Not seen, further down the line.  Always the rough with the smooth.

Push to shove though, would there really be Anything on this forum that everyone had Not already seen?
