    First, Rich let me know when the first package got there.  Nice!  

    Then asked if there were any others and there is one tube outstanding.

    first package arrived yesterday Charlie
    I didn't go to the PO today but I suspect the second one will be waiting for me

    4-foglios.. good thing I have a Manfrotto 7 foot tripod stand with a 10 foot boom arm
    it's great for shooting oversized stuff

    it's interesting, for this auction I have the highest number of individual consignors, though some only sent a small few posters.
    Quite a number of interesting items for the May auction

    :P

    Well the auction is over...

    I can't honestly say I was satisfied with the results, but that is the risk you take.  However, even given the lower prices, the 25% consignment rate is pretty simple and straight forward.  This rate also means that some of those under performing posters will still yielded some decent return. 

    Overall a good experience so far.  But what I remembered as I looked over the results, is that movieposterbid is usually where I like to shop for bargains. So to think that the posters I consigned could/should have been different is wishful thinking.


  • DavidDavid
    SO the question is do you think you came out in front or...
  • CharlieCharlie
    Nah, I lost money when considering the purchase price.
  • DavidDavid
    But did you win in terms of market price?
  • CharlieCharlie
    No.

    ( ^ funny sig )



    So what is the moral of the story?... Go to MPB to pick up posters bargains?

    I consigned some stuff to Rich and I was happy with the results. Just my opinion. Would I consign again? Definately!
  • CharlieCharlie
    I am not unhappy. I am practical about it. Rich did a great job auctioning them.

    • Big Lebowski - $25  (I think I paid $40 or $60 for this one)

    Total of $123 * 75% = $92.25

    Shipping was about $40 (Italians are heavy) - So I ended up with about ~$40  from posters that cost about $215, so I lost about $175...

    Probably should have just kept them in my trunk... This is not Richies fault - I knew the risks.

    Moral of the story???  My wife hasn't commented on my hoard since I sold some posters - Priceless!

    So you consigned some bottom end titles that you paid not much for and got not much back on, my guess is you wouldn't have netted more anywhere else either?

    You spelled "either" wrong David. I am sure it was a typo with the two letters being so close to each other. Its okay we forgive you. The spell check police have not caught your error. So your good

    I don't forgive.... ^ apart for not knowing how to quote a previous post correctly after posting 488 posts, the following are grammatical abominations:

    - It is not correct to use "Its" in this context, it needs to be "it's" or "it is" Reference See
    - "spell check police" should be in capitals i.e. "Spell Check Police"
    - "your good" is incorrect, you need to use "you're good"
    - Need a full stop at the end of the last sentence

    You're welcome.

    :P


  • rdavey26rdavey26
    Oh great the Spell Check Police has arrived. I personally like my grammar the way it is. Makes perfect sense to me English Professor.  :P

    I failed English in my HSC (end of High School) and I am now getting back at the world... But it is so much easier to do as I know it rubs Charlie up the wrong way
