usually the bolded, although the first way you mentioned could work too if there is a high level of trust between the two parties I guess.
Not on a Mondo drop but I had one guy tell me he had a buy screen for another drop and could get it for me if I gave him my paypal addy/pass. :lol: Kindly turned him down.

When I've pb'd for people, I ask that front the cost of the print+mondo shipping to me. I have them ship it rather than pick it up cuz then I'd lose out on the tube. Once the print is received from Mondo, I inspect it to make sure all is well, then I cover the shipping cost up front to send to the buyer and the buyer will reimburse me for the actual shipping cost. Ive gotten screwed over a couple times by fronting the cash for the initial purchase and then they back out and not want the print, so now I make sure they send the cash for the print first.

I got my Rango in the mail today. I wasn't expecting it to have metallic ink. It looks great! 8)

Seems intrusive to me but maybe I'm missing some "classic posters have this" argument

I think someone mentioned earlier that it is an Australian film poster designation of some sort.

I was kind of wondering why there's no comma in the 20000. Shouldn't it be 20,000?

I think the size difference in the text between the "20" and the "000" makes that distinction.

Ratings. Like how we have "G" and "PG."

Ah, ok. I guess that makes more sense with the wavy look too.
