With 3 + days to go. A French 1P for CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (R62) with artwork by Constantin Belinsky. It needs a little TLC and is currently at $66.00:

Any chance you can tell us your ebay ID/password...or at least provide us with screenshots of your watch list? You know...to be fair.

Either way works.

Well scratch that one off the watch list

Dale.. do you think everyone doesn't know that Claude Knsop is selling this poster??

he only emails everyone he's ever sold to online when he lists his stuff..

I don't think the item being posted here has one iota of meaning to the final price 9 times out of ten..

I didn't search for Offal, I search for antique signs, and It was one that came up.... Bit large to post to Oz, but I thought Ari would like to see it.

[Ari]

sure sure, everyone secretly searches for offal, in case theres nude pictures of me.

[Ari]

yeah best to keep offal chilled, it tends to attract flies.

Not going to get into this circle again, but 100% yes, it makes a difference to the bottom line 9 out of 10 times someone posts something here. We know who does not care and who does, lets just leave it at that.

There are 44 watchers and 19 bids (by 10+ bidders) on that poster, so it's no secret by any means and was appropriate to post:

Edit:-   Man I'll never hear the last of this from Chris, he'll never get a hat to fit himself...

I am going to store this acknowledgement in a very special drawer for a very special day muhahahaha!

Give me a break.

Cause everyone knows about watcheditem.com and peruses it daily. So OBVIOUSLY we can frivolously post info on the headlining items.

Regarding the Creature poster... Are we really going to do this again?  I'll save this thread 8 more pages of argument...

Rich, Mel and others will say it doesn't matter.

Me, Paul, Ben and others will say it very well could.

Each person repeats their argument 20 times.

The point is no one knows.  However, even if the chance is small -- minuscule even -- why would you ever risk fucking over a friend?  PM those who might be interested.  Wait until the auction is over with your "OMG!, LOL!, or WTF!" story.  As far as I'm concerned legit auctions with low starting bids that APF member will likely be watching/bidding on do not fit those criteria...

the point is: no one here has any empirical data to back up any such claim, and on whose opinion is anyone fucking anyone.. You guys need to be more objective, rather than subjective

Rich will always try to get the last word.

Indiana Jones and the last posterfade...

Typically Harry, the person with the last word is the person who speaks last. Saying "(that person) always has to have the last word" is all by itself having the last word, so in this case you had the last word, except now I worded some. the world is last-wordly.

Glad they used the word "may" so now I can go over the poster carefully noting any wear...
