one or two of those links are Bruce's and others are people hawking their own material Bruce is selling for them.

Charlie is right, Dave is NOT a dealer.  You are, Rich.  I think I said it a little earlier, but maybe you didn't get it.  DO NOT POST YOUR GEAR ON THIS THREAD UNLESS YOU ARE ANSWERING A SPECIFIC QUESTION ABOUT A SPECIFIC ITEM.  

And your banner is TOO BIG.  You made it bigger than the last time we talked.

And your little feud with Bruce is really getting old.  I don't know if you realize it, but it's really making you look like a bully.  If your only participation to this forum is posting your gear, making your banner as obnoxious as can be and attacking Bruce, please, do not post anymore.  Holiday and I are BOTH tired of dealing with this shit.  We are not enjoying it, and if it means pulling the plug and shutting this whole place down, trust me, we'll do it.

Thierry

I have no "feud" with Rich. I think that is clear if you read over any and all of the threads he and/or I have posted in.

I said that I would be willing to quit posting here (except in the threads for dealers) and that made no difference.

I renew that offer. Would you like me to quit posting, except in those two threads (or quit posting at all)?

I just posted a message to Rich in the other thread. I don't understand where his feud came from, or what he is trying to accomplish.

T. I'm not trying to make trouble for either of you. I post alot in a number of subforums here with real info and it is rare that you see me post commercial shit in my threads. I think it's really unfair to single me out in this way. Moreover Bruce & others has posted links to his own stuff in this thread numerous times as David has also said. I keep my promotions to DEALER FORUM and SALES. I think that everyone should keep to that rule. You've never seen me post any of my auctions in any main board thread here and I never posted one in this thread before, but that can't be said of everyone.

Feuds.. you know, that's been 100% a two-way street and more than one member here has leveled his critique of that on the other guy, who continues to post little snide comments directed at me and others that you may not notice. I'm guessing yu don't know why Movie Poster Talk went down. I can tell you, the same person was at the center of that and it wasn't me, because though I had visited MPT, I didn't join because of the garbage I was seeing.

I'm fine with seeing this ignorance end, but your ire should be directed at everyone involved. I'm reacting to garbage. I don't make other people say the things that they say and if someone were to say something ignorant about you, I have to believe you will defend yourself. As a matter of fact, what would you and Holiday be saying if Andy was here. You have both had some pretty disparaging comments toward him and whether I agree with them is not an issue
.

None the less. I am only asking for the rules to be applied equally to me as to others.
I don't think you would disagree that the main board is not supposed to be used for personal promotion of any kind, save signatures and I don't believe you can accuse me of ever having used the main board commercially. My banner right now is actually only 5 pixels taller than the replacement banner I used after you asked me to edit. I will edit it again and take not of the height when I create another.

On the feud, stop both sides of it - completely - and it will be finished here.

Most of our active members are collectors, not dealers.
We gather here for the aesthetic appreciation of the mania..to share acquisitions, advice and knowledge.
We joke, we laugh, we mock, we stroke.... all good-natured.
APF is a friendly water hole.

But Rich, whether Bruce got your goat with his innuendos or not, you are spoiling the water.
Lighten up.  Roll with the punches.  Show some restraint. 
You don't want to be known as the 'angry auctioneer' now, do you?

A) Rich has to have the last word on everything.
B) See A.
C) See B.

Bruce, there is no threat to your operation, I would suggest to simply stop replying.

Both need to take a deep breath, step back a little and see you are going to start irritating buyers and HURTING your bottom lines.

The Mid-auction analysis thread must be the most angry thread of them all. I think it should be moved to Let It All Out section!

I could not agree more with Ted and Thierry.  For the first time, I broached the subject of closing down this forum because the bullshit is getting old.  And it's not just Rich and Bruce bickering.  There are a handful of others too that allow the point of this forum to get lost.  If you can't be courteous and respectful, then leave.  Please.  Any other purpose is not wanted.  It's about poster collecting.  Not about fights between them or dealers. 

Please, no plucky comments in response to this.  No "it's not me" responses.  No "I didn't start it" responses. 

End it or we will.
Best regards,

Holiday

Some day, and that day may never come, when you (or Mrs T) is ready to sell, I will dispatch an eMoviePoster.com truck to you, and they will load it and drive it here, and you will only pay the cost of doing so, and therefore you will have zero work (or buying of materials).

But until that day, don't consider this advice at all.

My wife is ready to sell now, Bruce.

Just got back from a week-long hearing in Massachusetts. Spotted this store on Long Island on the way back (took the ferry from Conn).  I'm thinking Bruce and Thierry/Eatbrie have already gone into business together. Hmmm....

I am surprised Bruce was able to negotiate the naming rights - and some of those cheeses look linenbacked - maybe Thierry is a silent partner?

Just be sure you ask for 'large' or 'small' cheese wedges...'grande' or 'petite' will probably get you thrown out.

This is just STUNNING!!  bed1  bed1

A special "color-paint" enlargement poster, done by Charles Lennox Wright, of Marlene Dietrich, for her film, Blonde Venus (1932).
And to see what this poster cost to buy originally, on the PB page.. a whopping 75¢ each.  ;D

I've sent my prices on the ones I will actually bid on...  It wouldn't be accurate to speculate what I may or may not pay for stuff I may or may not really want...  But we shall see.  I've already raised one max bid price due to a beaming oversight.

Results Show...  I ended up not bidding on the other Pearl Harbor because it had exceed the $15 mark...

$134 +$15 for other PH = $149 w/o consignment fees...

With Consignment Fees: (100% minus EMP %)
Almost Famous = $82 * 70% = $57.4
Dogma = 19 * 40% = $7.6
Pearl Harbor1 = $26 *50% = $13
Pearl Harbor2 = $17 * 40% = $6.8
Somersault = $1 * 25% = $.25
Unfaithful = $9 * 34% = $3.06
My Summer of Love = $8 * 34% = $2.72

Total - Consignment Fees = $90.83

Difference = $149 - $90.83 = $58.17 a 60.95% loss...  You could have probably asked me to send you a check too...
