A Special Note About The Rarity Of Our Current 117 Window Cards:
     Many of the window cards we are currently auctioning are from the 1920s and 1930s and are extremely scarce and from desirable titles.  These come to us from a wonderful collection we were consigned (we sold the first of these in our Mini/Major auction last December, another group in our Mini/Major auction last April, a third group in June, and now we are offering this final group, which represents the last of this amazing collection).  If you like 1920s and 1930s titles, or if you like window cards, you should certainly check out the current 117 window cards extremely carefully, because there are quite a few titles included that have likely never before been at auction, and may not come back to auction for many years, if ever!

About The Shipping of Our Current 277 Items
     All of the posters we are currently auctioning are "oversized", meaning that most of them can't be sent in our regular standard-sized flat mailers (and NONE of them can be rolled in a tube). There are possibly a few exceptions (see our shipping section below). This means you mostly will have to pay slightly greater than normal shipping (especially if you live outside the U.S., as the U.S. Post Office has just increased their rates yet again!), but we try to offset that by only charging TWO extra dollar over our regular U.S. shipping rate!

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 only a few less than "good") along with more details about the condition described in words (but pretty much a general description of the defects, and we only describe specific defects if they are the type 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.


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

As a special offer to our customers, U.S. buyers need to enclose $12 shipping no matter how many items you win!

Why $12 shipping this week?

This week only (because we are selling "oversized" posters which do not fit in our standard mailers, and will need to be sent in large oversized mailers, or between six heavy pieces of large cardboard), all U.S. buyers must pay a total of $12 (twelve) shipping, whether you buy 1 item or 100 (or any number in-between). Note that we FULLY INSURE EVERY U.S. order we send! We will spend the shipping collected on virtually all orders, and we spend far more on those that involve lots of items and high dollar items.

A few of the posters this week are not oversized!
Note that a very few of the posters we are selling this week are not "oversized", because they were once folded perfectly in half, which means that they CAN fit in our standard mailers (WE HAVE CLEARLY NOTED WHICH ONES THESE ARE IN THE INDIVIDUAL AUCTION DESCRIPTIONS). But it only makes sense to re-fold these items if they are purchased by themselves (or solely with other items that can be re-folded), because if they are purchased with items that can't be folded, there will be no point in folding them.

WE ARE NOT TRYING TO MAKE MONEY ON SHIPPING!
In fact, when we sold these sizes of posters on eBay in the past, we charged $15 for U.S. shipping, but we are making this special "$12 U.S. shipping" offer this week, as a special discount to our buyers in our auctions on our site, even though this means we will lose money on shipping most U.S. packages!

Will your order be shipped to you by UPS?
UPS does NOT automatically require a signature to deliver packages, so if you want the signature to be required, you will need to pay the extra $2.50 UPS charges for "signature required" Delivery Confirmation, and please realize that they will then NOT leave the package, and you may well have to go to the UPS facility yourself to pick it up. But if you prefer this, that is fine, and if you have any other special requirements, please tell us when you are paying for your order. IF YOU DO NOT SPECIFY THAT YOU WANT SIGNATURE REQUIRED, THEN YOUR PACKAGE WILL BE SENT WITHOUT SIGNATURE REQUIRED!

You CAN usually combine shipment!
(NOTE: These Thursday items must be sent in large flat packages and CAN be combined with the folded one-sheets we auctioned on 8/11 & 8/13, CAN be combined with the window cards, French, & Italian posters we'll be auctioning on 8/18, and CAN be combined with the items in our 8/16 Sunday auctions [except for the bulk lots])
Note that we not only allow you to combine as many items as you want from a single set of Tuesday, Thursday, and/or Sunday auctions, and still pay only a single shipping charge for all of the items, but we also allow you to wait until the next three sets of auctions end (a total of four sets of auctions) so that you can combine your current purchases with those of our following auctions (if possible), and 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 U.S. SHIPPING CHARGE).

DON'T BID ON OUR ITEMS UNLESS YOU WILL PAY THE $12 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 $27.20 / $33.75 $43.00 $41.00
Airmail - Insured 29.10 / N/A 45.20 44.20
Global Express - Insured 44.90 / N/A 49.95 52.95
Global Express - Uninsured 43.00 / 45.00 48.25 49.25
First Class N/A N/A N/A

     IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please bear this shipping cost in mind BEFORE your place a bid (if you live outside the U.S.). The vast majority of our customers want a very securely packed tube, and will pay the extra shipping cost involved (and of course, it goes to the Post Office or UPS, and not us!). Please do not ask us to pack less securely, as that would likely result in a damaged order.
    Some sellers are sending by Ground UPS to Canada, but that incurs large "brokerage fees", so we do not recommend it.  Note that there are also some sellers sending non-U.S. packages via a "Letter" rate, but of course this is not legal, and we can not do this.  We have outlined the possibilities for sending non-U.S. packages above, so please read that carefully, BEFORE placing a bid!

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 be sent in flat packages, so you can add any item that can also be sent in a flat package for no additional shipping costs. We have noted in each paragraph below whether the items can be shipped rolled or not.

Incredible Discount on Learn About Movie Posters Book! (can be shipped flat only)

A while ago, we offered great discounts on many of our books, and the best seller from that promotion was the Learn About Movie Posters book, which regularly sells for $29.95, but which we sold for just $5.99.  We sold out of all of our remaining copies (we thought!), but we have discovered we have more copies of this great book than we realized, and we can offer them once again at this incredible discount!
     Whether you are brand new to the hobby, or have been collecting for many years, you are almost certain to find this book of great value.  About the only complaint we ever hear about the LearnAboutMoviePosters.com is that it is just SO massive that it can be difficult to find what you are looking for, and you won't have that problem with this book.  And at this ridiculously low price of just $5.99, you are sure to "get your money's worth" in no time at all (because it will help you become a better informed collector)!
     To learn more about the book (and to see some sample images), go to http://www.emovieposter.com/books/bookspecific.php?booknum=62 where you can also order online (and you can, of course, order via e-mail at mail@emovieposter.com, or by the phone at 417-256-9616, or by Postal Mail).  If you live in the U.S., and want the book sent by itself, you need include $4 for Media Mail, and if you purchase anything else from us that it can be combined with, you don't have to pay ANY shipping at all!  If you live outside the U.S., you need to pay the actual cost of shipping (either by itself or sent with your other purchases).
     Don't miss this chance to add this great book to your bookshelf at this giveaway price.  We promise you that you will LOVE the book, or we will give you a cheerful refund of your purchase price!

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 September issue, which we've just received). 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 September 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! 
     Note that our back cover ad (which we have every issue) in this issue is our SECOND full-color comic strip, The Snipers of eBayjima, we had specially commissioned just for this issue, and you won't want to miss it!  You can check out this ad HERE!

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!
