eMoviePoster auctions over 100,000 unique items every year and in 2014 they sold 128,479 posters, and recently sold their one millionth unique item. But they are not just quantity, but also quality. They have had $4 million in sales for the first ten months of 2015, their best ever. Every one of those one million lots started at $1 with no reserve and no buyer’s premiums, and well over half of the items sold for $14 or under, and quite a few auctioned for just $1, $2, or $3 each. Despite their name, they don’t just auction movie posters. They also auction many tens of thousands of vintage stills and lobby cards, as well as all sorts of special posters. They have an auction of only signed items that ends on October 25 and their 16th Annual Halloween Auction begins October 27. Go to their Consign Page to learn about consigning to them for their auctions (there are just a few days left to consign to their December Major Auction), or go to their Registration Page to sign up and start bidding.
