Bonus Offer to Every Buyer This Week

YOU GET "Vintage Hollywood Posters III" AS A BONUS THIS WEEK!

"Crazy Bruce Hershenson" says, "We are currently selling 800 folded one-sheets, and I thought I would offer each buyer this week our full-color Vintage Hollywood Posters III movie poster book as an added bonus!" This is the catalog from the June 24th, 2000 auction held in Beverly Hills, California that was co-hosted by Bruce Hershenson and Howard Lowery. The 80 page full-color catalog contains a remarkable assortment of posters. many of which have never been auctioned. There is an incredible group of 149 of virtually every 1950s science fiction posters (including Forbidden Planet, Creature From the Black Lagoon, and much more!) as well as lots and lots of the finest posters known from the 1930s through the 1960s! You also get the prices everything sold for at the auction!
We offer every one of our buyers this week a copy of this great full-color book, Vintage Hollywood Posters III as a bonus, even if you just buy one $1 item! If you don't already own this great book (or maybe even if you do!), then you should find any one of our hundreds of items to buy, just to get the bonus book! You may get Vintage Hollywood Posters III AND a great item for as little as $1 plus shipping (if you are the only bidder)!

Special Notes About This Tuesday's Items
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.

If a poster is in less than very good condition, should you not bid on it? Of course not, as long as you are accepting of the defects the poster has! The item that is graded "very good", but has as many minor defects as is allowed under the "very good" definition is only in SLIGHTLY better condition than the best of the "good to very good" items. So please take the time to look at the larger images of items that interest you, and see if the defects are the sort that you can "live with", or are willing to restore. Some of these items are EXTREMELY rare, and it may be years before you see them offered again!

Note that we have a significant percentage of "lesser" items (ones in less than very good condition, but remember this is OUR "very good", which is very harsh!) this week (52% of the total posters). This is because most of these posters were actually used in a theater, and then were stored in boxes WITHOUT any protection for many years. The combination of being used in theaters and being carelessly stored gave a fair number of the posters a bunch of minor defects, and because we pride ourselves on being very strict graders, we downgraded all of those posters to grades of less than very good. But please take the time to look at the super-sized images of any "lesser" items that interest you, as you may well find that the defects are "not that bad", and that you can accept them (or are willing to have them restored).

Payment Options
We accept all major credit cards, either directly over the phone during regular our 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
U.S. buyers need to enclose $9 shipping (which includes full insurance)!

Why do we charge $9, when we used to charge $9 to $11 on eBay?
     We spend $9 (or more) on almost all U.S. orders, because we use such good, heavy packaging (at least twice as strong as that used by most sellers), even on low priced orders (because we believe a low priced item still deserves the best handling)!
     We USED to charge $11 for shipping on U.S. orders over $100 when we sold on eBay, but now that we are auctioning on our own site we have lowered that to $9, which is both our way of thanking those who order a lot from us, and also our way of passing on our savings from not paying eBay commissions to our customers!

You CAN usually combine shipment!
(NOTE: This week's Tuesday items must be sent in flat packages and CAN be combined with the lobby cards we sold July 8th and the stills that close July 10th as well as with the non-U.S. posters we will be auctioning from 7/10 to 7/17)
     Note that we not only allow you to combine as many items as you want from a single week, and still pay only a single shipping charge for all of the items, but we also allow you to wait until next week's auctions end so that you can combine your current purchases with those of our following auctions (if possible), and since we do two sets of auctions every week, 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 $9 U.S. SHIPPING CHARGE).

DON'T BID ON OUR ITEMS UNLESS YOU WILL PAY THE $9 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 three 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	$22	$27	$25
Airmail - Insured	N/A	$32	$29
Global Express - Insured	$33	$40	$36
Global Express - Uninsured	$30	$37	$33
First Class	$12	$16	$15

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Due to the major raise in U.S. postage rates to other countries, just about any package to most non-U.S. countries that weighs one pound or more will cost approximately $26 for Uninsured Airmail shipping (and this includes virtually all of our packages as we use 2 pieces of extra heavy duty cardboard for packaging, and then put that into a sturdy Calumet container or box). So 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 wrapped package, 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 (the actual cost of shipping plus $2 outside the U.S.)!

IMPORTANT! NOTE THAT WE GIVING A BONUS BOOK (Vintage Hollywood Posters III) TO ALL OF OUR BUYERS THIS WEEK, as a way to encourage bidders to participate in our auctions and to thank our customers for their support! However please note that for non-U.S. buyers, we can only include the bonus book with non-U.S. orders if the buyer is willing to pay the roughly $10 or more added shipping charge (because the book will add around 1 pound to the weight of the package!).

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 mostly be sent rolled in tubes, so you can add any item that can easily be rolled for no additional shipping costs. We have noted in each paragraph below whether the items can be shipped rolled or not.

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)
