What do you think about the rising prices of movie posters ?
Hi ! Good day to you, all
I'm a movie lover, as all people here, I suppose and also I always liked movie posters, since young age, but never even thought in collect them, until last year.
I started getting a few movie posters, USA printed, here in Spain, but they are very expensive, so, I bought then a few from USA directly. Later on, I discovered eMoviePosters, Great !
I got some movie posters from movies I like and paid a good price, not cheap, and more than $80 in shipping costs and customs, but, still, I was happy.
But...
Since end of last year I see how movie posters are going up quickly and even the cheap ones are expensive for what they are. And don't talk about the "top" ones ! Those are simply impossible to collect !
Now I can't get the movie posters I want anymore. Sometimes I think if is not better to sell all and forget about it, but I like them.
I have no idea if this will get worst forever or if is transitory and happens from time to time, Someone knows something about "movie posters pricing history" ? Maybe I just need to wait until the market get saturated or the "dealers" get bored and sell peaches and watermelons instead.
Right now and since last year, I'm not even bidding anymore; when I see the selling prices just after the bidding finish... Wow !
Cheers !

Hard to say if overall poster prices are on the increase. My observation from all the research that I do is that there are some real bargain out there if one knows where to look. A lot I believe has to do with the film titles that you are after. Maybe you are seeking well sought after titles that are currently in high demand.
Not a subject that involves me, but I am certainly interested in hearing what others may have to say.
Hi, HONDO, Thanks for the answer and, yes, I look for the same things others are looking for, specially what I used to watch when young, in the 80's, but I can tell, even posters of not-so-good movies, cheaper last year, are now more expensive.
Hopefully some others may like to share their thoughts here.
At the contrary ! Thank to you for your answer !
I'll try to do some statistics by myself. Enjoy your day and, Cheers !
And unlike ANYWHERE else on the Internet, EVERY single one of the prices is GUARANTEED to have really happened, at EXACTLY the price listed (because if the sale fell through, or the item was returned, we delete the result).
Do some research and report back!

Thank you for the answer and, Yes ! I also saw that in the last months. I didn't see too much movie posters going down in value, except some from foreign countries. Maybe we just need to wait until some type of posters go down again. Luckily, I got some before they became expensive. Cheers !

Oh ! Sorry, I didn't see the last character was a ")", I would fixed it myself, so I don't bother you with something so simple. I use your website very often, I got a lot of posters and lobby cards from you in the last year
The other day someone contacted with me about my Windows program, but he use Apple products, so, I thought I can program a web, that way he (and anyone else) can access to the data
As I told him, I'm not sure will be useful for someone, but I did it this last days and here is it :
https://www.brainfornothing.com/
User : youareallowedtoenter_1
Password : onlywiththecorrectpassword_9
That is my personal website, but I'm not using it right now, so, can be used for that instead. I suppose will work well in any device, I didn't test it in phones, but looks OK in computer monitors
Same as before, I have only a few movies added for now, I suppose I can add more by people requests, no problem
Not sure Bruce is interested and he can add something like this in his website
By the way, I found a few errors in some movie posters data, nothing important
Cheers !
I can add some more before tomorrow's auction if someone is interested
Cheers !
Anyway, the website is working now with the user and password I said before
EDITED : I changed the way to access the chart of every movie, you need to click now in the image of the poster of the movie
What you did is cool and works fine on my computer.
When you say "By the way, I found a few errors in some movie posters data, nothing important" do you mean on my site or auctions? If so, please email what you found to matt@emovieposter.com and I assure you they will be fixed ASAP!

In any case, I don't see too much interest and it's a lot of work, so, I'll use my website for other purposes in the future, not in a hurry, tho, so, until then, this web will continue working and I'll update sometimes, as I need it myself
