We are experts in marketing and selling movie posters on Ebay.

 We know how to create a listing that will get you the highest dollar possible.

 We can get you MUCH MORE than you would get if you auctioned them yourself.

Up to TEN TIMES or more!

Our auctions continue to outperform all the rest.....BY A WIDE MARGIN! See examples below.

We understand that it can be more than a little frightening to send your valuable posters to someone far away that you don't even know. We have been on eBay since 1998 and have many client references that you are free to contact. Try us out first if you'd like! Send in just a few at a time. If you like the way our operation works, you can send in the others later.

If you are ever in the Phoenix, Az area you are more than welcome to stop by our gallery (by appointment only) and meet us in person.

Thousands of satisfied customers! Our near perfect Ebay Feedback record.

We only consign posters that we believe will get at least $50.00 at auction.

  All we do is sell movie posters. We are experts at marketing them and we know how to create a professional listing that will reach the greatest possible audience. We will promote it online by direct email and message boards to thousands of collectors and dealers worldwide. This kind of direct marketing has been incredibly successful for us.

  LOW FEES - Other auction companies charge a higher consignment fee (sometimes up to 75% or more of the final sales price). They typically also charge other "hidden fees". Our fee structure is simplified and very straight forward. There are never any "unpleasant surprises".

  No Buyer Premiums on any of our auctions, unlike other auction companies. Other auction companies often charge buyers an additional premium (sometimes 25% or more) of their final bid price. This discourages bidding and often results in lower prices.

  We take care of ALL the little details. We take beautiful detailed photos and give each poster a full detailed accurate description.

  We have established a strong reputation within the past few years with many repeat clients. As our reputation has grown, more and more people follow our auctions, look forward to them, and ultimately bid on them.

  Our auctions consistently achieve much higher prices than others. From our detailed photos and descriptions, buyers know exactly what they are getting and they are willing to pay a premium for it.

  Our auctions consistently appear on the EBAY PULSE. This list shows items that are currently the most watched on eBay, according to the number of users who have selected the “Watch this Item” link on an eBay listing page.

  Our buyers trust us and our brand name! Many collectors searching for posters WILL NOT bid on someone's auction they do not know or trust. We have more potential buyers than the average seller. This gives us a tremendous advantage over other sellers. This is the primary reason our auction results are MUCH higher than everyone else's.

  Each client will deal personally with the owner, David Lieberman. He will give them the personal care and attention they need, making an extra effort to ensure the consignment is a successful one.

  Once you consign your posters to other auction companies it may be 6 months or more before they hold the auctions and even longer until you get paid. We will auction your posters within 2-6 weeks of receiving them and pay you within 2-4 weeks after they close**. If you send in just a few items we usually get them processed and auctioned right away.

  TRUST We can be trusted with your items. We are always reachable by phone and we have a physical address for our office/gallery. We are a LAMP (Learnaboutmovieposters.com) approved dealer. This means we have subscribed to their non-misrepresentation agreement and agree to clearly and factually describe all merchandise for sale on this site.

  SAFETY  While in our possession, your posters are fully insured AND they are stored in a highly secure fireproof facility.

The Bottom Line:

Anyone can sell anything on ebay. You can probably sell your items yourself.

But the truth is this: You will not get anywhere near what we will and you will get MORE if you let us sell them for you.

** We go to extreme lengths to qualify all auction bidders. In the unlikely event that an auction ends with a non paying bidder or if the item is returned, the auction will be run again or we will offer it to the second highest bidder. Payment will be sent within 4 weeks of a valid auction ending where the auction winner has actually paid for the item.

  Star Wars 1sh Rolled Style A NM C9: We bought this poster on Ebay in 2004 for $80.00. We sold it on Ebay in 2005 for $1175.00. At the time, this was the most this poster had ever sold for on Ebay!!. We have since auctioned another one for a record breaking $1476.00!!

  Creature From the Black Lagoon Half Sheet C8-C9: Sold for $7500.00. For very high dollar items we usually do a Best Offer/Buy it Now auction. This one exceeded even our expectations. Click here to see the auction.

  Revenge of the Jedi 1sh Rolled NM C9: We bought this poster on Ebay in 2003 for $210.00. We sold it on Ebay in 2004 for $937.00.

  Ocean's 11 1sh Linen Backed NM C9: We bought this poster on Ebay in 2004 for $410.00. We sold it on Ebay in Dec. 2004 for $2025.00.

  Jaws 1sh NM C9: We bought this poster on Ebay in 2004 for $26.00. We sold it on Ebay in Sept. 2004 for $305.00.

  The Godfather 1sh NM C9: We bought this poster on Ebay in 2004 for $110.00. We sold it on Ebay in Nov. 2004 for $380.00.

  The Spy Who Loved Me 1sh EX-NM C8-C9: We bought this poster on Ebay in 2004 for $15.00. We sold it on Ebay in Dec. 2004 for $187.00.

These are just a few of the HUNDREDS of posters we have "stolen" on Ebay within the past few years. Obviously, they were poorly marketed. Small pictures, bad descriptions, not featured. Hardly anyone (in some cases, no one but us) bid on them. We are constantly buying posters on Ebay for a fraction of what we can turn around and sell them for. These people really shouldn't be selling posters. They have no idea how to successfully market their items.

Here is a typical example: We bought this Blade Runner one sheet for $9.99 on Ebay. This seller claimed to be an auction expert. Can you imagine how disappointed the consignee was? They actually paid this company to run their auction for them!! After receiving it, we immediately auctioned it and got $174.50.

We won a "A Christmas Story" one sheet for $38.99, and immediately turned around and auctioned it for $338.00.

An incredible coincidence that shows typically how much better our auctions perform over others.

We auctioned a Revenge of the Jedi rolled one sheet on the EXACT same date and time as someone else. Ours was in worse condition than theirs. Ours finished at $510.00, theirs finished at $160.17 and did not sell.

How do we compare with Heritage? Here is an example: One of our clients bought this TARANTULA one sheet from Heritage in their Nov. 14, 2006 auction. He paid $1600.00 plus a 19.5% buyers premium for a total of $1912.00. After Heritage's seller consignment fee, their client (the seller) walked away with about $1360.00 (assuming Heritage's seller consignment fee was 15%).

Just a few months later our client (the buyer who paid $1912.00) sent it to us and asked us to sell it for him because he needed some quick cash. We sold it April 9, 2007 on ebay in a NO RESERVE auction #180100966056 for $2550.75. After our consignment fee our client walked away with $1910.83.

Remember, this is the same exact poster!!

How are we able to get much higher prices than major auction houses?

The above results are typical, BUT WE CANNOT GUARANTEE SIMILAR RESULTS! We always do our best to market each item as it is in our best interest to get the highest dollar possible because we get a percentage of the final sales price.

Please be aware that the final sales price GREATLY DEPENDS ON CONDITION! For example, a Jaws 1sh in C6-C7 condition may sell for $100-$150 while one in C8-C9 condition may sell for $250-$350. Please keep in mind that collectors despise certain unsightly flaws like tape, stains, etc. and will bid accordingly.

Please do not have unrealistic expectations! Unpopular titles and posters with unsightly defects sometimes can perform poorly. Do not expect miracles! Often times we CAN get great prices for these marginal items, but please don't count on it. POPULAR TITLES will almost always see exceptional results.

Please do not base your expectations on prices you see on this website. The prices here are generally much higher than we can get on ebay. Sometimes we can achieve these prices (and even surpass them!), but please don't count on it.

Here are some more recent examples of the

much higher than average prices we achieve. These were all bought directly from our Ebay store:

Revenge of the Jedi 1sh $995.00

Cool Hand Luke 1sh $1795.00

The Blues Brothers 1sh $495.00

Animal House 1sh $595.00

Tom and Jerry 1sh $1100.00

Donald Duck 1sh $2750.00

Jaws 2 Unreleased 1sh $1495.00

Star Wars Second Advance 1sh $2195.00

Star Wars Teaser Style B 1sh $995.00

I'd like to consign, how do I proceed?

Poster collectors and dealers have been turning away from large auction houses in recent years for the following reasons:

     Buyer Premiums: Bidders HATE THESE! They can add up to 25% or more

        to the final bid price.

     There may be other hidden fees i.e. sales tax.

     There may be NO CHANCE of returning the item if you are unhappy with it.

     Outrageous shipping costs in many cases, sometimes well over $100.00

        to ship a single unframed poster.

     Photos on line and in catalogs may have been digitally touched up/altered,

        in many cases disguising defects.

     For restored/linen backed posters, their descriptions can sometimes be

        vague and misleading.

     Confirmed cases of shilling and/or auction house employees bidding on items.

     Their grading can be VERY generous.

  We only run our auctions on Ebay, the worlds largest online marketplace. It is an open and friendly environment with NO BUYER PREMIUMS! With Ebay we reach the greatest audience possible of poster collectors, dealers, and those just "surfing around" looking for gifts.

  We almost always recommend running a NO RESERVE auction****. Why? Because time and time again it has been proven that NO RESERVE auctions gain more interest, more bidders, and ultimately result in higher prices. Many ebayers simply skip over auctions that have a RESERVE.

  We always start our listings low at 99 cents. This encourages more bidding and ultimately results in higher prices realized. Fact: Buyers tend to ignore auctions with high starting prices.

  We always show very large detailed photos and give an accurate description showing all defects (if any). Buyers appreciate this and bid accordingly.

  We put potential buyers at ease! We accept all forms of payment. We allow buyers from all over the world (not just the U.S.). We package our items very securely, always ship with insurance, and we have an open and easy return policy. All of this encourages more bidding and achieves higher prices!

  We frequently do a FEATURED, BOLD, BORDER listing. This costs an extra $23.00 in ebay fees, but it is definitely worth it. More people see it because it appears at the top of every results page and it is not buried in all the other thousands of listings. Bidders see a featured auction and think it is "something special", and if the seller has spent so much money promoting something, then it must be worth bidding on.

  ****If your poster has a value greater than $1000.00, sometimes we will do a "Best Offer" listing. This really isn't an auction at all. It is a FOR SALE listing with a set "Buy it Now" price. We are able to accept or decline any offers from any buyers. This has been proven to be a great way to sell an expensive item.

  We send out emails and post messages on movie poster forums/groups/chat rooms to thousands of collectors and dealers worldwide alerting them to the auctions.

  WE NEVER RUN PRIVATE AUCTIONS! There are many collectors out there who refuse to participate in private auctions. Private auctions can appear as if the seller is hiding something (i.e. shilling - bidding up his own item) and they can eliminate a large percentage of potential buyers.

All of these elements combined help us achieve the highest results possible.

I'd like to consign, how do I proceed?

As you can see, the more your poster sells for, the less our % fee is. This is because it generally takes the same amount of time and energy to sell a $50.00 poster as it does a $5000.00 poster.

OUR FEES AVERAGE ABOUT 25% OF THE FINAL SALES PRICE.

MOST POSTERS SELL FOR BETWEEN $150.01 AND $550.00.

1. Please download our POSTER SUBMISSION FORM. Please fill it out completely with your name, address, email, and phone number and send it along with your posters to:

CineMasterpieces

15721 N. Greenway Hayden Loop, Suite 105

Scottsdale, Az 85260

2. Package them up securely. For tips on packaging and shipping (so they arrive safely in the same condition you send them), please see our Packaging and Shipping page.

3. The safest way to ship valuable posters is by U.S. REGISTERED INSURED MAIL. When a package is shipped Registered, every person who handles it within the postal system MUST sign for it. Insure it for whatever you think your posters are worth. When you ship REGISTERED, every seal on the package MUST be covered with brown packing tape or the post office will not accept it.

4. Usually, we will process and auction only your posters that we believe will sell for at least $50.00. Your lesser valued posters will be sent back to you.

5. If your posters are framed they MUST be removed from the frame before shipping to us. Why? There are several reasons: a. Because it will cost you a lot to ship it to us. b. If it is in a glass frame the glass will most likely break during shipping and ruin the poster. c. Most people will not buy a poster that is already framed, they need to see its condition first (is it linen backed? is it dry mounted?) and you just can't tell these things when it is in a frame.

6. If your posters have been dry mounted to foam core or cardboard, please call us. Most collectors consider these to be ruined. There are exceptions if it is a very valuable poster.

7. If you have any questions, please call Dave at 602 309 0500.

Instant Cash For Your Posters!

Does CineMasterpieces BUY posters or just consign them?

We do both! It really depends on what you have. If you have posters we want and if you need cash right away, and if you can't wait a few weeks for Auction Consignment and have no interest in waiting for On Site Consignment, we will make you an offer to buy them outright.......immediately! (after we see them in person). Instant Cash For Your Posters! We have spent over $500,000 in the past 4 years alone buying collections from all over the world.

If you want to sell your posters to us outright and avoid consignment:

We guarantee that if we buy your posters from you, NO ONE WILL PAY YOU MORE FOR THEM THAN WE WILL.

The TRUE VALUE of any poster is primarily determined by it's condition, so we must first see your posters in person so we can see if they are original and see what shape they are in. Only then will we make you a firm offer.

Please do not base your expectations on prices you see on this website. The prices here are retail. Sometimes we will pay up to 50% of our listed prices, but generally it will be less. This is what we (or anyone else) can get them for from poster wholesalers and on ebay. If it is a very valuable poster we will certainly pay more!

Most people with collections to sell DO CHOOSE CONSIGNMENT because they will usually get MORE MONEY than if we purchase them.

ON SITE CONSIGNMENT

We do not auction your posters, we advertise them for sale here at a fixed price,
