It is now TOO LATE to consign to our 21st Annual Halloween Auction, which is filled with great items, and starts in 4 weeks, on October 27th!

It is too late for Halloween, but it is now time to consign to our great December Major Auction!

We absolutely charge the lowest commissions of ANY major auction, at every price level

I want to alert you to something about auction commissions that confuses many people (and this is the result of an intentional deception, a virtual "Tower of Lies"). Three different potential consignors recently told us that they had decided to auction their items elsewhere, because “the other auction's rates were so much lower than eMoviePoster.com’s”.

We asked them how they arrived at that, and they said that they were told that the 15% they were charged at the other auction was less than the 20% (or higher) that they were charged at our auction. But sadly, that is not at all true. When you factor in the Buyers Premiums that are hidden from the seller, the sellers at those other auctions pay more.

We THOUGHT "everyone" knew better than to think other auction's offered lower rates than ours, because in our ads we state “We charge the lowest consignor commissions at EVERY price level”, but obviously that has not always been true.

So we created a chart that proves it beyond a doubt, and here it is (click on it to view a larger version):

Just to make it crystal clear:
When you consign a poster to eMoviePoster.com that the buyer pays $12,000 for, YOU get $10,800.
If you had instead consigned that poster to an auction that "only" charges 15% seller's commission (but also has a 20% buyers premium, which is true of almost every major auction other than eMoviePoster.com), then after the buyer paid them $12,000 for it, YOU get only $8,500.

When you consign a poster to eMoviePoster.com that the buyer pays $1,200 for, YOU get $960.
If you had instead consigned that poster to an auction that "only" charges 15% seller's commission (but also has a 20% buyers premium, which is true of almost every major auction other than eMoviePoster.com), then after the buyer paid them $1,200 for it, YOU get only $850.

When you consign a poster to eMoviePoster.com that the buyer pays $600 for, YOU get $468.
If you had instead consigned that poster to an auction that "only" charges 15% seller's commission (but also has a 20% buyers premium, which is true of almost every major auction other than eMoviePoster.com), then after the buyer paid them $600 for it, YOU get only $425.

When you consign a poster to eMoviePoster.com that the buyer pays $120 for, YOU get $86.40.
If you had instead consigned that poster to an auction that "only" charges 15% seller's commission (but also has a 20% buyers premium, which is true of almost every major auction other than eMoviePoster.com), then after the buyer paid them $120 for it, YOU get $85 (close to what you would get with eMoviePoster.com, but still less!).

When you consign a poster to eMoviePoster.com that the buyer pays $20 for, YOU get $10.
If you had instead consigned that poster to an auction that "only" charges 15% seller's commission (but also has a 20% buyers premium, with a $19 minimum), then after the buyer paid them $20 for it, YOU get only 85 CENTS.

So when you compare, there is NO comparison! $10,800 or $8,500? $960 or $850? $468 or $425? $86.40 or $85? And the most outrageous of all, $10 or 85 cents?

SO HOPEFULLY THIS MAKES IT CLEAR TO EVERYONE THAT WE OFFER THE LOWEST COMMISSIONS (at every price point) OF ANY MAJOR AUCTION!
