    They refunded 5 clams, lol

    They wanted to know what I thought was a fair refund, and I told them I'd leave it up to them...

    2 years ago, we visited a collectibles shop that was formerly a movie theater. I loved it so much!! Above the stairs that went into the theater, there was a row of vintage movie posters for sale, 1 being from "Shadow of the Hawk". I loved the poster but they wanted $175:for it. I came home and looked online and found one for like half the price, but still loved that shop...

    I had a chance to go back yesterday, and all of the posters were gone! I felt like a deflated balloon. Sellers must really be having a tough time. Attached is a pic of the theater wall 2 yrs ago. 20240901_194940.jpg

    So excited! Just won an original ROCKY lobby card!! $14 plus shipping!!

    I wanted an orig poster but they are too far out of my budget. This I will definitely frame!

    I grew up on the movies, every time we go to Philly I check out the shooting locations, and my former mother in law shared with me that they gave baby clothes to Stallone and his wife for the birth of their son in 1976 bc he had little money then.

    Well I needed it like I needed a hole in the head, but I got a deal on a 1981 Clash of the Titans poster so I went for it. Sucks being a Harryhausen fan sometimes :D

    Thanks to seeing Blair Witch Project this week in the theater with my daughter, the movie poster bug came for me again. I tried to find a 27x40 but there is ambiguity on which ones are authentic vs. video store...

    I then come across one in NY labeled as an "original subway poster" and was intrigued. After looking at it, I got a ping from the seller with a reduced price. Since I didn't really need it, I countered with a low offer, and to my surprise, they accepted!!

    The seller shared that it came from an Estate sale, and it actually matches dimensions of other subway posters, so I am now very excited! Now I might have to get it signed!!

    Well, it's official: I ordered my meet and greet ticket to meet these people on Thursday night! My poster might not be here in time, which is killing me, so my DVD copy for them to sign is my Plan B. Pray for me that the poster makes it!!

    I hate that the guy shipped via fedex-lax. I would have rather it come on a chicken truck.

    As predicted, FE screwed me. At 5pm they changed status to tomorrow by 2. It was today at 2, then by EOD, now tomorrow by 2. The box is 2.5 hrs away, I called to ask if I could pick up and they won't let me.

    I have it in-hand now and am counting down! Hoping security won't give me trouble when I show up with a giant box!!! I am so glad this thing made it, I would have been grumbling if I had to succumb to them signing my DVD...
