Unlike almost all of our competitors, we do not EVER offer to buy items from those with items they are looking to sell, because that would put us in direct conflict with our consignment based business, and we would be on "the opposite side" from you, needing to buy your items for a low price. Instead, when you consign to us, we are "on the same side" (if your items sell for more, then you get more and we also get more).

This "refusal to purchase" has cost us some consignments, and sometimes people have offered us items for a fraction of their true value, but when that happens we explain they will get much more by consigning, and we convince them to do so, and afterwards they are always quite thankful!

Many other auctions play all sorts of games with their own consignors. Sometimes they try to buy the items outright from them for pennies on the dollar, if they feel the consignors are uninformed. Sometimes they will get the consignor to consign the items to their low profile auctions where they will buy the items themselves and then re-auction them (as their own consignments) in their higher profile auctions. Since they have their own consignments being auctioned alongside those from consignors, they often give their own items higher estimates and condition grades than they give the items consigned by other consignors!

WE NEVER PLAY ANY OF THESE GAMES. If you are interested in consigning your item(s) to our weekly auctions, the link below gives you full details about consigning. If you are solely interested in selling your items as a group, you should search the Internet to find dealers that might be interested (you will almost surely receive less money selling them outright than you would consigning, but a few people insist on selling rather than consigning, even when it costs them money). Quite often, the dealer who buys your items will turn around and consign some or all of them to us!

Before you send any items to us, be sure to thoroughly read our "Consign Page" at http://www.emovieposter.com/learnmore/?page=consign. If our consignment terms are agreeable (and note that we have no "fine print" or hidden fees or "buyers premiums", then please print out the "Consignor Reference Sheet" (here: https://www.emovieposter.com/print/?page=consignor_reference_sheet), fill it out, and include it inside your package. This short form makes processing of your consignments much faster for us. This insures that we have all the information we need.

What you can expect once we receive your consignments:
1) We will notify you via e-mail when your consignments arrive
2) We will begin preparing them for auction soon thereafter (they will likely be auctioned when we next sell that size, UNLESS it is in one of the categories we have lots and lots already consigned, or unless we already have one or more examples of the exact same item already consigned to us, or unless you send tightly rolled posters that need quite a while, possibly months, to "flatten" enough to where where can work with them)
3) We will notify you via e-mail when items of yours are put up for auction
4) One week later, we will notify you via e-mail of the results of your items
5) We will pay you by check sent by U.S. mail (unless you have made other arrangements, such as PayPal or wire transfer) at the end of the month following the month in which items are sold (we will include a detailed list of every single item, what it sold for, when it sold, and what our commission was)

Consignments and the consignor reference sheet can be sent securely wrapped to (if by Post Office):
Bruce Hershenson
Attention: Consignments
P.O. Box 874
West Plains, MO 65775

Our address for UPS and FedEx only is:
Bruce Hershenson
Attention: Consignments
306 Washington Avenue
West Plains, MO 65775

We get ten to twenty packages every DAY of new consignments (they contain an average of around 4,000 items every WEEK!) and just about the only time we "lose" a consignor is when they have nothing left to sell (and we regularly gain new consignors who had poor dealings with other auction houses or who were tired of eBay's constantly rising fees and constantly falling prices).

If YOU have been considering joining our 2,000+ current consignors, know that NOW is an excellent time to do so, because we have refined our system to where we can now auction even huge collections in a relatively short time!

In 2010 we commissioned ace cartoonist Erik Andresen to create the below comic strip for us on the subject of consigning vs selling outright (and it is as accurate today as it was 7 years ago). Click on the image to see it in a much larger (and more readable) size.
