Our Fall 2012 Mini/Major Auction has an incredible selection of posters and lobby cards (1,862 items in all!), covering all years, genres, and sizes and is being run in four parts:

Part I Results (COMPLETED!): special collections of 163 Star Wars and 273 Clint Eastwood items
Part II (ends Tuesday September 4th): 550 linenbacked posters that ship in standard tubes
Part III (ends Thursday September 6th): 607 rolled posters, folded posters, lobby cards, & more that ship in standard tubes or boxes
Part IV (ends Sunday September 9th): 269 oversized posters of all types that ship in oversized tubes or boxes

What distinguishes OUR Mini/Major Auctions from other major auctions? Only the lack of any reserves or buyers premiums, honest condition grading, and unenhanced super-sized images! You will find an amazing "supermarket" selection of great posters from all years, genres, and countries!

Special bonus offers to the buyers from this special auction
     If you are a member of our weekly e-mail club, we will be offering our most generous bonus offers ever to those who purchase just SIX items from any of the parts combined (you need just purchase a total of six items from any of the parts).  We will have multiple great offers for those who purchase as few as six items, and as many as ten or more, and you get these just for being a member of the club (so if you are not already a member, and over 7,531 collectors already are, then why not join today by going to https://www.emovieposter.com/club/settings.php). It is fine with us if you join the club just to get the bonuses and then "unsubscribe"!

IMPORTANT! This set of auctions runs for ONE week!
      This set of auctions began on September 2nd and it will last for ONE week, ending on September 9th.
     For our Sunday auctions, we normally alternate between "miscellaneous" auctions and rolled one-sheet auctions with each running for two weeks (so each kind of auction runs once every month), but in this one set of auctions because it is Part IV of our Fall 2012 Mini/Major Auction, they will run for ONE week. We will resume our two week schedule with the rolled one-sheets that begin on Sunday, September 9th.

HERE IS A CHART OF THE ITEMS IN THIS AUCTION:
(to better help you find the sizes and countries that interest you)

NOTE: Some of these items ship rolled in tubes while others ship in flat packages. You can get a general sense of how items ship using the chart below, but know too that we clearly note on each individual item's auction page whether it ships "rolled" or "flat", and of course, this means that some items can be combined and some can not, and we will automatically combine what is safe to do, but know that if you win items that must be shipped separately, we will have to charge you for the two separate packages.

How is this Part IV of our mini/major auction different from Parts II or III (held on Tuesday and Thursday)?
The items in Part IV do NOT end at 7 PM CST like those in Parts II and III do, but instead they begin ending at 3 PM CST, which means that our European bidders will not have to get up in the middle of the night to bid at the end of our auctions (and of course, most of our American bidders will not be working on Sundays, so they will have easy access to their computers as well).

About our current 269 "oversized", linenbacked, or paperbacked items
All of the items we are currently auctioning are "oversized", linenbacked, or paperbacked, meaning that they can't be sent in our regular standard-sized flat mailers, or our tubes that measure 32" or shorter. Some must be sent rolled in really oversized tubes (a very few can be sent in "regular" width tubes because they are very long but are not very wide, like rolled door panels) and some must be sent in oversized flat packages (all larger than the size of lobby cards, and some much larger). This means that, in this set of auctions only, we can ONLY combine shipment of some of the items with each other, and if you purchase multiple items, you may need multiple packages, and you may have to pay two or more separate shipping charges. It should be pretty simple to tell which items can be combined with each other (we note "flat" and "rolled" in the shipping section of each item's auction page), but if you are unsure about what can or can not be combined, please e-mail us and we'll be happy to tell you. Either way, you will have to pay a greater amount for shipping than normal (especially if you live outside the U.S.) due to the "oversized" nature of these auctions, but we only charge the "actual" cost of shipping this week (plus $3 for packaging materials) to all buyers (U.S. and non-U.S.). Note that our shipping estimate charts below for non-U.S. buyers are only of limited use (and the actual cost can vary drastically from the charts, so PLEASE do not think that you can rely on them!), due to the wide variance of the size of the packages, so if knowing the actual shipping cost is important to you before you bid, please contact us with the item or items, along with where you live.

About the condition
We give a detailed overall condition grade ("fine", "very good to fine", "very good", "good to very good", and only a few which are "good" or lesser) along with more details about the condition described in words (where we thought additional details were needed, because the defects were hard to see). We felt this would help bidders identify items they want to bid on more easily. Of course, we could not describe every single defect, so 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 still for minor defects that we did NOT describe.

Payment Options

You can send a check or money order in U.S. funds (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, but please don't send cash (as we can't be responsible for lost cash).

If your order requires a shipping quote, please request it through our Checkout system. Please note that we are still developing this checkout system, so while you may request your quote using it, we do not quite have it ready to complete payment (although we hope to have that added soon), but payment may still be completed using whatever method you have used in the past. If you run into any sort of problem requesting your quotes, please e-mail Phillip right away so we can get it addressed.

IN THIS SET OF AUCTIONS ONLY, all buyers (U.S. AND non-U.S.) must pay the actual cost of sending your order, plus $3 for the packaging materials.
Why don't we have a "flat rate" for U.S. orders in this set of auctions, like we do most auctions? Because we are selling oversized posters of all shapes and sizes, some of which must be sent in our custom-made extra heavy duty gorilla proof mailing tubes, and some of which must be sent in "very oversized" flat packages which are much stronger than the ones used by most sellers (*read more about our "gorilla proof" tubes or packages that stand up to the greatest of abuse, and we wrap all expensive items in plastic, so that even a submerged tube or package will likely arrive undamaged!). Shipping will vary greatly depending on how many items you get, what the weight of the posters are, if they fit in the same package, and where you live. Generally it will cost $18 at the very least to send an oversized tube or flat package anywhere in the U.S. by either U.S. mail or UPS, fully insured (all U.S. orders MUST be fully insured).
Can we send your order in a less expensive way? We have purchased movie paper items many hundreds of times over the Internet ourselves, and we have seen the tubes and oversized flat packages that other sellers use (both the free kind and the kind purchased at shipping supply stores), and the protection offered by those tubes is spotty at best (those cheaper tubes will often get bent resulting in creasing or tearing to the poster, or in extreme cases, a tube can even lose a cap from an end resulting in the buyer receiving a tube but no posters!), so please do not ask us to use a lighter weight tube or oversized flat package or less expensive packing materials to save on shipping, because we won't do it! We know that once you see our tubes and oversized flat packages you will agree that they are a great investment in protecting your purchase(s) and you will wonder why other sellers of vintage movie paper do not use these same tubes and oversized flat packages (and if somehow you don't agree with us, we ask you not to bid at all!).

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 ACTUAL COST OF U.S. SHIPPING PLUS $3 FOR PACKAGING MATERIALS (and on a set of auctions like this, when we use very large tubes and flat packages, the $3 does not come close to covering the cost of those materials).

Non-U.S. buyers must pay the actual cost of shipping their order (you can choose whatever method you prefer), plus $3 for packaging materials. 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. KNOW THAT IT CAN BE BETWEEN SOMEWHAT EXPENSIVE AND EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO SEND THESE OVERSIZED ITEMS OUTSIDE THE U.S., AND THE BELOW CHARTS ARE ONLY A VERY ROUGH GUIDE TO THE ACTUAL COSTS. We do not make a penny on the shipping (because we charge the actual cost), BUT PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THE SUBSTANTIAL ADDED SHIPPING COSTS BEFORE YOU PLACE A BID ON THESE ITEMS!

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 about becoming 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!

DON'T BID ON OUR ITEMS UNLESS YOU WILL PAY THE ACTUAL COST OF SHIPPING (both within and outside the U.S.). We only add $3 for packaging materials (and on a set of auctions like this, when we use very large tubes and flat packages, the $3 does not come close to covering the cost of those materials).
