Where are the many bulk lots and our usual "Sunday items" regularly offered on Sunday?
      We are taking a break from our regular Sunday offerings of magazines, scripts, glass slides, German programs, and bulk lots this week while we offer "very oversized rolled items" this week, but know that we have a HUGE number of items waiting to be auctioned in our "regular" Sunday auctions, so please know that they will return in five weeks on Sunday November 21st (because we have several different types of auctions scheduled for the next few Sundays), and almost every week thereafter. 

A Special Note About Our Current 216 "Oversized" Items:
All of the items we are currently auctioning are "oversized" and rolled, meaning that they can't be sent in our regular standard-sized tubes that measure 32" or shorter (a few days ago we auctioned all of our "oversized and FLAT" items in a separate auction, because those items can't be easily combined with these items). They 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), so please know that you will have to pay a greater amount for shipping than normal (especially if you live outside the U.S.), as the U.S. Post Office has recently increased their rates yet again. We only charge the "actual" cost of shipping this week (plus $2 for packaging materials) to all buyers (U.S. and non-U.S.), because we are selling items of many different sizes (all "oversized"), and our shipping estimate charts below for non-U.S. buyers are only of limited use (and the actual cost can vary drastically from the chart, 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
We accept all major credit cards, either directly over the phone at 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 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)!

THIS WEEK ONLY, all buyers (U.S. AND non-U.S.) must pay the actual cost of sending your order, plus $2 for the packaging materials.
Why don't we have a "flat rate" for U.S. orders this week, like we do most weeks? Because we are selling oversized posters of all shapes and sizes, all of which must be sent in our custom-made extra heavy duty and long tubes 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 tube, and where you live. Generally it will cost $15 at the very least to send an oversized tube 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!). WHEN WE HAVE THESE "VERY OVERSIZED" AUCTIONS, THERE ARE ALWAYS A FEW PEOPLE WHO SEEM SURPRISED BY JUST HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO SHIP THESE ITEMS, AND WE DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN THIS TIME, SO PLEASE REALIZE THAT THE SHIPPING OF THESE ITEMS MIGHT BE CONSIDERABLE, AND BEAR THAT IN MIND BEFORE YOU PLACE YOUR BID!

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 SHIPPING (both within and outside the U.S.). We only add $2 for packaging materials (and on a week like this, when we use very large tubes, the $2 usually 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 $2 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!

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 (both within and outside the U.S.). We only add $2 for packaging materials (and on a week like this, when we use very large tubes, the $2 usually does not come close to covering the cost of those materials).
