Since we started our new "Generic" sections in our Movie Poster Data Base, we have added over 6,000 items. These include original movie posters (not yet archived), videos, DVD's, and novelty items.

For those of you who are not aware of these new sections (where HAVE you been?), let me explain.

When we created our Movie Poster Data Base, we allowed reputable LAMP Approved Dealers to list specific items for sale. The particular poster had to be archived before it could be listed for sale. Since archiving is a time-consuming task, we created several new "Generic" sections that allow LAMP dealers to list items they have for sale BEFORE they are archived. These generic sections include:

Studio Released Material Not Yet Archived

Commercial Posters Not Yet Archived

We also added sections where LAMP dealers could list movie-related items for sale. These include:

Electronics: Video, DVD, and Other

Associated Items: Clothing, Novelties, Toys

HOW TO USE THESE NEW SECTIONS

These new generic sections are in their own separate data base. THEREFORE -- the golden poster that is used in the Movie Poster Data Base DOES NOT APPLY for the new generic sections. So if you are looking to see what is for sale for a particular movie, scroll all the way down the page. If you see the by any of the generic sections, click on the generic image to see what is for sale. There you will see the description of the items and how to contact the dealer that has it for sale.

If anyone would like more information about how to shop in LAMP, please email me.

J.R. has announced some exciting new "bulk listing" tools for sellers on Movie Poster Bid.

PRELIMINARY AUCTION PAGE - This page allows a seller to complete their auction forms and store them until a later date before they become active. This gives the seller a chance to make any changes they wish and then choose when to activate the live auction. Dealers can create and store as many Preliminary Auctions on their "Preliminary Auctions" page as they wish.

OFF-LINE BULK-LISTING TOOL - This tool really is designed for those sellers who plan to list a whole lot of items and feel they really need something off-line to work with (including the ability to import and export their auction listings in the .csv format). This tool is currently being beta tested.

For more information on J.R.'s announcement, click HERE.

When you're looking to buy a movie poster from an online auction, be sure to choose one of these great LAMP approved dealers. They are already linked to their individual auctions.
