Incredible Bonus Offer!
PLUS YOU GET "60 Great Horror Movie Posters" AS A BONUS THIS WEEK!

"Crazy Bruce Hershenson" says, "We are currently selling 999 folded one-sheets in Part II of our end-of-year One-Sheet Auction Extravaganza (4,000 all-different one-sheets ending over 9 days!), and I thought I would offer each buyer this week our full-color 60 Great Horror Movie Posters movie poster book as an added bonus!"  This book contains 60 FULL-PAGE FULL-COLOR images of some of the greatest horror movie posters ever made!
      
Our previous books contain hundreds of images in each, but in order to have so many images, we had to make most of them 1/4 of the page or smaller. But we also certainly understand a small image does not do justice to these great posters, and we have always agonized when deciding which posters will be given a full page!
This book contains sixty of the finest posters from the horror genre, with EVERY poster receiving a full-page and each volume is printed with the exact same standards of quality of the earlier series.
     We offer every one of our buyers this week a copy of this great book, 60 Great Horror Movie Posters as a bonus, even if you just buy one $1 item!  If you don't already own this great book (or maybe even if you do!), then you should find any one of our hundreds of items to buy, just to get the bonus book!  You may get 60 Great Horror Movie Posters AND this item for as little as $1 plus shipping (if you are the only bidder on that item)!

 

Special Notes About This Thursday's Items

About the 999 Folded One-Sheets We Are Auctioning
     Note that this is Part II of our end-of-year One-Sheet Auction Extravaganza.  One-sheets are the most popular size movie poster, and we have been consigned many thousands of them, and we have not been able to keep up with auctioning them, so we are holding this end-of-the-year event (which we hope will become an annual event!), as a way to help us "catch up" on auctioning the one-sheets we have been consigned (and you will find lots and lots of excellent titles contained within the thousands we are auctioning).  With so many posters being sold in such a short time, there is a certainty that there will be many "deals", and likely some real "steals", even on "better" titles!  We will be auctioning a total of 3,996 folded one-sheets spread over four auctions from 12/16 to 1/1 with NO duplication between the four auctions (there may be a few posters from the same titles, but they are different styles, or one is a re-release, or one is an international version, etc)!
      IMPORTANT NOTICE! Because these auctions close during the week of the Christmas holiday and the week of the New Year's holiday, some of our staff will be away on vacation, and we imagine so will some of our buyers!  This is also a VERY busy time at the Post Office and UPS, with many people sending last minute holiday gifts.  So, PLEASE KNOW THAT IT IS FINE WITH US IF YOU WAIT TO PAY FOR YOUR PURCHASES FROM ANY OF THE FOUR PARTS OF THIS "One-Sheet Auction Extravaganza" UNTIL AFTER THE FINAL PART CLOSES ON JANUARY 1st (although we ask that you please pay for your purchases promptly right after the last set of auctions closes, as we will be drowning in packages, and will need to get them sent!).  This "waiting until the last auction closes" is especially valuable to those of you who are likely to purchase from more than one part of the auction, because then we can send all those purchases together in a single package, thus saving you a lot of shipping cost!  Please be understanding of our having reduced staff during this holiday time, which may mean we take a little longer to answer e-mails or send orders.

About the Condition
     Note that we give a detailed overall condition grade to every item we sell ("fine", "very good to fine", "very good", "good to very good", "good", and "fair", with only a few graded "poor") along with more details about the condition described in words (but pretty much only if they are defects that CAN'T be seen in our super-sized images, or if the item is especially valuable).  We felt this would help bidders identify items they want to bid on more easily.  Of course, we still strongly recommend that you look at our super-sized image to see the extent of the defects that we describe and to examine the poster for minor defects that we did NOT describe.

    If a poster is in less than very good condition, should you not bid on it? Of course not, as long as you are accepting of the defects the poster has! The item that is graded "very good", but has as many minor defects as is allowed under the "very good" definition is only in SLIGHTLY better condition than the best of the "good to very good" items. So please take the time to look at the larger images of items that interest you, and see if the defects are the sort that you can "live with", or are willing to restore. Some of these items are EXTREMELY rare, and it may be years before you see them offered again!


Payment Options
We accept all major credit cards, either directly over the phone at 417-256-9616 during our regular business hours which are Monday to Friday, 9 AM CST to 5 PM CST except between 12 and 1 when we take lunch, or you can e-mail us payment details, and there are still a few people who fax us!

If you like to pay via Paypal
(our PayPal e-mail is "mail@emovieposter.com"), that is fine, but know that PayPal has many glitches, and you should ABSOLUTELY e-mail us separately when you send us a PayPal payment!

You can send a check or money order (if you do, enclose your address and details about what you purchased) to:
Bruce Hershenson
Attn: Payments
P.O. Box 874
West Plains, MO 65775

If it is your best payment option, you can pay by Western Union (unlike SOME auction sites, we are not prejudiced against Western Union!).  But please don't send cash (as we can't be responsible for lost cash)!
 


U.S. Shipping Details

U.S. buyers need to enclose $9 shipping (which includes full insurance)!

Why do we charge $9, when we used to charge $9 to $11 on eBay?
     We spend $9 (or more) on almost all U.S. orders, because we use such good, heavy packaging (at least twice as strong as that used by most sellers), even on low priced orders (because we believe a low priced item still deserves the best handling)!
     We USED to charge $11 for shipping on U.S. orders over $100 when we sold on eBay, but now that we are auctioning on our own site we have lowered that to $9, which is both our way of thanking those who order a lot from us, and also our way of passing on our savings from not paying eBay commissions to our customers!

You CAN usually combine shipment!
(NOTE: This week's Thursday items CAN be combined with the lobby cards we sold on 12/16, can NOT be combined with the rolled non-U.S. posters we sold on 12/18 [because those posters must be sent rolled in tubes and the one-sheets we are selling must be sent in flat packages, and we won't unfold and roll folded one-sheets, due to the chance of damage], and CAN be combined with ALL the folded one-sheets we'll be selling between 12/16 and 1/1)
     Note that we not only allow you to combine as many items as you want from a single week, and still pay only a single shipping charge for all of the items, but we also allow you to wait until next week's auctions end so that you can combine your current purchases with those of our following auctions (if possible), and since we do two sets of auctions every week, that means there is a chance you could combine items from up to four of our sets of auctions, and still pay only a single shipping charge (assuming those items fit into the same type of package). We KNOW there are other sellers who charge a little less on shipping than we do, but we know that our packaging is the best there is, and our orders virtually never arrive damaged (and on the very rare times that they do, all our U.S. packages are fully insured, and FULL INSURANCE IS INCLUDED IN THE $9 U.S. SHIPPING CHARGE).

DON'T BID ON OUR ITEMS UNLESS YOU WILL PAY THE $9 U.S. SHIPPING!


Non-U.S. Shipping Details

Non-U.S. buyers must pay the actual cost of shipping their order (you can choose whatever method you prefer, but know that the U.S. Post Office has eliminated Surface Mail, so we can only send via Express or Airmail), plus $2 for the best packaging materials you have ever seen.  All non-U.S. buyers must tell us if they want the package sent insured or uninsured at the time they pay for their order.

Here is a chart containing estimated shipping charges for up to 3 items from this week's auctions
(Note: Insured quotes are based on a $200 value; you pay $1.60 more for each additional $100 of insurance)

Type of Shipping Canada/Mexico Australian/Asia/Japan Everywhere Else (inc Europe)
Airmail - Uninsured $22 / $22.25 $29.00 $29.00
Airmail - Insured $22.30 / N/A $32.20 $32.20
Global Express - Insured $34.40 / N/A $40.00 $39.45
Global Express - Uninsured $32.50 / $33.00 $37.00 $36.75
First Class $9.61 / $14.53 $17.25 $17.25


IMPORTANT! NOTE THAT WE GIVING A BONUS BOOK (60 Great Horror Movie Posters) TO ALL OF OUR BUYERS THIS WEEK, as a way to encourage bidders to participate in our auctions and to thank our customers for their support! However please note that for non-U.S. buyers, we can only include the bonus book with non-U.S. orders if the buyer is willing to pay the roughly $10 or more added shipping charge (because the book will add around 1 pound to the weight of the package!).


Do you have a friend or relative who lives in the United States? Some of our customers either visit the U.S. regularly, or have friends or relatives within the U.S., and often those customers have us send their orders to a U.S. address, and then they transport the posters from there. THIS CAN SAVE YOU A GREAT DEAL ON SHIPPING! This is fine with us, but realize that you still need to let us know within one week of receipt if you want to return anything, so don't use this method unless you are certain you will want to keep your purchases.

DON'T BID ON OUR ITEMS UNLESS YOU WILL PAY THE ACTUAL COST OF SHIPPING (the actual cost of shipping plus $2 outside the U.S.)!


You Can Add More to Your Order
In addition to our current auctions, we offer many other non-auction items. Please note that the items in this week's auction will mostly be sent rolled in tubes, so you can add any item that can easily be rolled for no additional shipping costs. We have noted in each paragraph below whether the items can be shipped rolled or not.
 
2008 Movie Poster Sales Results! (can be shipped rolled or flat)

This new edition includes 25,000 verified sales results from our 2007 sales and contains NO duplication to our previous editions! We are offering the brand new 2008 edition for the cover price of $10, or you can order it, plus the previous four editions for a total of $15, a great savings of $35 off of the combined cover prices! Go to our "Other Publications" books page at http://www.emovieposter.com/books/books.php?section=nonBruce to learn more and to order!

Illustration Magazines (can be shipped flat only)

Know that we also sell several other movie poster-related publications, so now is a good time to pick up items you may have missed! We have copies of a great full-color magazine entirely devoted to the great legendary poster artist, Bob Peak! This magazine (called Illustration Magazine #6) has tons of full-color images, all shot directly from Peak's originals, and has a great in-depth overview of Peak's entire career, written by his son! It sells for $9 and it is almost completely sold out, but if you want a copy, just enclose $9 with your order! We also have copies of Illustration Magazine #7, which has a long article on master horror/sci-fi illustrator Reynold Brown, with many full-color images shot directly from his originals, and that issue is also just $9.

Movie Collectors World (can be shipped rolled or flat)

We also offer the latest issue of Movie Collectors World to all our buyers (the latest is the January issue). This magazine has been published for over 30 years and is the "Bible" of the movie poster collecting hobby! The cover price is $3.00. If you want a copy of the January issue added to your order for $3.00 (with NO additional shipping), just let us know when you pay for your order and we will include it!
 

Fixed Price Posters (most can be shipped rolled but not all can be sent flat; if an item has a "UF" or "TF" in the description, it can only be shipped rolled, but if it has a "FF" in the description, it can likely be sent rolled or flat; please check with us if you are unsure)

WE CURRENTLY HAVE 422 MOVIE POSTERS ON OUR WEBSITE AS "FIXED PRICE" ITEMS!
Click HERE to view these Fixed Price posters on our website (many of them are one-sheets). If we can combine any of the Fixed Price items with your current purchases into a single package, then we won't charge you any added shipping!

We have just added LOTS of new Fixed Price posters!
