WTF? for a sequel... Neo explain it to me!

eatbrie · « **Reply #3476 on:** January 24, 2013, 10:24:20 PM »

This is actually a fair price for this poster. I cannot tell you how many people have asked me if I would sell mine. Over the year, at least 20. I was offered $1,000 at some point. There was a guy on this forum (can't remember his name now) who was desperately trying to find one. They are EXTREMELY rare, and for any BTTF fans, an absolute must have, probably even more so than any other BTTF posters. I had it on my watch list and was going to buy another one if it didn't go above $300. But it did, and I actually forgot about today's sale. I went jogging instead.

I saw BTTF2 in the theater when I was a young'un, and it's one of my favorite movies, and I like cars, and time-traveling.

This poster is a great representation of the movie.

Jesus! Just nuts.

Doesn't bode well for a 'deal' for other such posters as it seems there are buyers attracted entirely by Bruce's well deserved service to the total exclusion of sense.

There were TWO guys trying to find one. Joneyyy......and myself. A couple of years ago Joneyyy acquired two and sold me one. Bruce under-promoted this exceedingly rare poster in his description and it languished at the $6 level for days. I couldn't overlook a bargain and bid up to $400. This poster from the beloved film series prominently features the De Lorean - and has one of the greatest taglines on a modern poster. Whilst it is non-theatrical it was not possible to purchase it either because of the financial troubles of the marketing company responsible for selling it and most were rumoured to have been destroyed. Given the cross-over appeal to the BTTF fan base and modern movie poster collectors I agree with Thierry that the price was reasonable.

Straight on. Cinemasterpieces (and the like) would have no problem selling this for $3,000. I've had this poster in the Rare showcase on MPC forever. I spotted this last week and was pretty sure it would not "slip under the radar" even though it was not promoted.

I think the price was slightly suppressed because three of these have popped up for sale in the last couple of years. I know Jon found 2 and another one sold on Ebay.

Bruce · « **Reply #3482 on:** January 25, 2013, 06:06:23 AM »

Like Mel says, the buyer got it for less than one-third of the Cinemasterpieces price!

There are always bargains and real steals in eMoviePoster.com auctions!

While rare, the last batch that hit the market have sold for 200 and 300 respectfully, so 800+ is quite a jump in market from where they had been selling.

erik1925 · « **Reply #3484 on:** January 25, 2013, 01:54:33 PM »

I contacted the bttf.com site, inquiring about their sales of this poster. I just got a reply from them. A few years ago, they had acquired 5 copies. They sold out almost immediately.

Their listed sales price was $199.88

And, naturally, other sellers can list this poster at whatever price they want. It doesn't necessarily mean it will ever sell at that price.

eatbrie · « **Reply #3485 on:** January 25, 2013, 02:53:26 PM »

I got mine in 2008 for $155.51 on Ebay. The runner-up was the owner of BTTF.com. But that was before the poster was posted all over the place on forums and gained in popularity. This poster could have easily crossed $1k if it had been listed among OSs, and not among travel posters.

T

BTW, BTTF.com hasn't had this poster for sale in at least 5 or 6 years.

I guess bttf's "several years" response = 5-6 years.

It's always that vague definition of what "several" means. LOL

eatbrie · « **Reply #3487 on:** January 25, 2013, 03:06:48 PM »

There are very few copies of this poster. BTTF.com got a batch. I tried to get it from the site, but missed. I got mine a couple years later and was surprised to see the owner of BTTF.com in the running. I don't think he realized what he had when he sold them on his site. Heck, I didn't even know about them until then, and I've been collecting BTTF for quite some time. Truth be told, though, that's how posters gain in value. The fact that we're talking about it now is increasing its value. The next one will be even harder to get. Lur-kers are probably noticing.

For sure, Matias.

$840.00 for a commercial (and more scarce) poster.

Amazing!

I dunno about amazing but it's something!

Too bad you have a selling moratorium eh?

So they paid a more realistic price then...or is Dave's prices the standard guide now?

It is not a selling moratorium, Chris. It is about the fact that I'm fucking lazy and refuse to deal with the US post office. I also don't want to dig into my piles, pull out stuff, tube it, write labels and other shit like that. I could sell a lot of my stuff, especially all the doubles, but it is waaaaay too time consuming. Plus, since I'm baked half the time, I would probably send stuff to wrong addresses.
