A Special Note About Our Current 635 Items:
     Many of the items we are currently auctioning are "oversized", meaning that they can't be sent in our regular standard-sized flat mailers (and NONE of them can be rolled in a tube). THERE ARE A FEW EXCEPTIONS; SEE THE SHIPPING SECTION BELOW. Basically, this auction contains items that measure larger than 11" x 14", but smaller than 16" x 20" (when folded as far as they can be folded).  We sell items that measure OVER 16" x 20", and must be sent in flat packages in their own auction, and we sell the items that measure 11" x 14" or under and must be sent in flat packages in a special separate auction of their own as well.  Because the items offered in our current auctions need to be shipped in oversized flat packages, you will have to pay $2 extra for U.S. shipping (and possibly a lot more if you live outside the U.S.).  Please realize that, in many cases, we will actually lose money on shipping because many packages from this auction will cost more (some, much more) than the $12 U.S. shipping charge (especially those who purchase many items), but we are absorbing this loss as a "thank you" to our customers!

A Special Note About Pressbooks:
     We are selling an excellent collection of 471 pressbooks this week! While a lot of the pressbooks that exist have ads cut out of them (this is only logical, since they were created with the intention that the theater owners would cut them up and create their own newspaper ads from them), 97% of the 471 pressbooks we are selling this week are COMPLETE AND UNCUT (only 15 of them have either missing pages or ads cut out, and we clearly note which those are).  Many collectors have been discovering pressbooks, which have the appeal of both movie posters and magazine type items, and collectors quickly learn that many of them are quite scarce, and especially difficult to find completely uncut.  The collection offered this week provides a rare opportunity to locate a wide variety of pressbooks, covering all years and genres, and most of them are complete and uncut! 
    NOTE THAT WE MAKE IT IMMEDIATELY OBVIOUS WHETHER A PRESSBOOK HAS "CUTS" OR IS "UNCUT"! We put "NO CUTS" after the overall condition grade of the uncut pressbooks, and we put "WITH CUTS" after the condition grade of the cut pressbooks.  Know that some of the cut pressbooks are actually in pretty nice condition other than the cuts, and some of the cut pressbooks are not in very good condition at all (and you can tell which are which by looking at our super-sized images).

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.

Payment Options

We accept all major credit cards, either directly over the phone at 1-417-256-9616 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 Learn More! To pay with PayPal, follow the step-by-step instructions on the following page of our website: http://www.emovieposter.com/statpages/paypal_payment_instructions.php.
U.S. customers may now pay us using our PayPal Express Checkout! NOTE: This is in development, so we are currently unable to allow non-U.S. customers to use the Checkout to pay (although they can use it to request their shipping quote), but we will be adding that ability very soon. Also note that it is still fine to pay us using any other payment method (including using PayPal "the old way").

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)!

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?
In this set of auctions only (because we are selling "oversized" items 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 items this week are not oversized!
Note that a very few of the items we are selling this week are not "oversized", because they may be able to fit in our standard mailers. But if you also purchase items that are "oversized" then those items need to go in an oversized mailer.

WE ARE NOT TRYING TO MAKE MONEY ON SHIPPING! 
     THE $12 LIKELY WILL NOT COVER OUR COST OF SHIPPING FOR MOST U.S. ORDERS (especially ones that include lots of items), but we are keeping this special "$12 U.S. shipping" rate this week, as a special discount to our buyers of multiple items in our auctions, even though this means we will lose money on shipping a high percentage of 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 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 five sets of auctions end (a total of six 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 six 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. 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.

Have you heard about our Pay and Hold Program?
This lets non-U.S. buyers pay for their purchases from 4 consecutive weeks (a total of 12 auctions and around 8,000+ items!), and we then send all your purchases at once saving you LOTS of money!  Click HERE to learn more (if you are not one of the hundreds of our non-U.S. buyers who are already part of this program)

     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.)!
