yeah wth
Yeah, these things should go to people who stick 600 prints in a file.stormcrow wrote: thanks. Ugh, I missed it. I was going to put this right next to my Flash Gordon variant Ansin set. I felt the same way when I missed the Taxi Driver. I also bought the awesome derieaux Jaws from a guy for $130 and he resold it 10 minutes later from under me for $30 dollars more. I'm a movie freak and I have about 600 vintage posters on top of my limiteds but the people who are in this hobby to make money make me very sour to it at times. I get why they do it, I just don't like it. This poster could be worth $30 and there could be 5000 of these, I'd still want it.

Oh well as love the Goonies and really would've put this on my wall. Offer still stands if anyone wants to trade.

mondo drops have gotten so terrible... since you can predict the drop link before they even go on sale, bots just snatch them up before they go live. looks like this is an ebay drop, no longer a mondo drop
I was going to hang this you a-hole. The other posters I have are original theater releases. I'm not out there gouging people. When I sell stuff, I sell it for reasonable rates, and I hardly ever sell anything. Would you rather it go to someone who is going to buy and charge 6X the price to someone who actually wants it?Nothing wrote:Yeah, these things should go to people who stick 600 prints in a file.stormcrow wrote: thanks.

Oh, damn. Maybe they have regulars who buy them first or something.

I also rotate my posters often. I drive a Prius so I could afford a home theater. I love movies. went to film school, have loved them since I was a small child and my father was laid off for three years. During that time, my uncle ran a theater near us and we had a pass to the drive-ins in town (sadly, now gone). Going to the drive in when we couldn't afford other things comprise some of my best childhood memories. This has stayed with me for my whole life. I had a box of movie posters as a kid (Bullet, Jaws, Star Wars, lots of less popular titles), but I loved them all. My uncle gave them to us when they were worth nothing. I'd spend hours looking at them. I lost them all in a flood when I was a teenager. It might be nuts, but it makes me happy when I can replace those lost treasures. I haven't purchased a poster in months, because I've realized that having some of these in tubes isn't really enjoyable and I'm considering selling many of them. Movies are the thing I love most. Your judgement of someone you know nothing about is your right as a free person, but I find it to be kind of trollish.Nothing wrote:Yeah, these things should go to people who stick 600 prints in a file.stormcrow wrote: thanks.
