eMoviePoster.com's Major Auctions do not have reserves or buyer’s premiums, they provide accurate condition grading, and unenhanced super-sized images. An amazing selection of great posters from all years, genres, and countries are represented in the auction.
They start from scratch on each new major auction they assemble, so there is always fresh material from new consignments. Since their Major Auctions have no reserves, there is something for collectors at every price level. What separates Major Auctions from eMoviePoster’s regular auctions is that the items are rarely offered for sale or auction and are highly desirable for collectors.
They use time extended bidding in which five minutes must pass without a bid for an auction to end, so you can never have an item snatched away from you in the final seconds.
Three surprising results from the auction that closed on Tuesday, April 26 were Magnum Force half-sheet that ended at $743, Monster from the Ocean Floor insert that sold for $634, and My Gal Sal insert that reached $423.
All of the 128,000 items eMoviePoster auctions each year come to them from 1,817 collectors and dealers all over the world. You can consign to their three regular weekly auctions at any time, and they hold four major auctions a year and the best items they are consigned and all linenbacked posters go into those auctions. Their May Major Auction is running right now. Go to their Consign Page to learn about consigning to them, and what makes them different from other major auctions. They have no buyer’s premiums whatsoever and they allow all buyers to combine purchases over many weeks, which saves a great deal on shipping.
