The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show -- WRONG poster: The RESOLUTION!#

Yesterday I posted about an auction I had won and how I had received the WRONG poster from the auction house. I was crushed.

So, I went to the auction house's website and sent a note through their "contact us" link. I wrote:

Hi there.

I know this is probably way too late to fix. I was just opening some packages I hadn't gotten to and one was from you. On Dec. 3, I won the unrated blue style of the DRILLER KILLER poster. As I was opening the package this evening, I noticed it was the black R-Rated style. UGH! I don't suppose whoever got the blue one returned it, did they? ARGH! I realize mistakes happen, but UGH.

Any suggestions or ideas?

Thank you.

I didn't hear anything back for more than 24 hours. However this morning, I received this response:

Hi Shawn,

I am so sorry to hear that. Let me look into it and I'll get back to you asap. I dont handle shipping.

Thanks,

About an hour after that, another response popped up:

Hi Shawn,

Scott is out at the moment but from our records it appears that the buyer has never paid for it. So I will have it pulled and shipped to you.

Sorry for the error but at least it will have a good resolution. I very much appreciate your business and support.

Many thanks,

Wowzer! I was so excited. But I sent this response:

Shall I send the black one back then? Where do I send it?

Thanks

And I heard this back:

No just keep it with my apologies.

Best,

To which i responded:

Zowie! Thank you so much! Very kind of you.

CHEERS!

It IS a happy ending all around...and I get a BONUS poster in the process. Ha! THANK YOU so much! (I'll refrain from saying which auction house it was as I do not want to give them any BAD PR for the mix up in the first place. But I am just thrilled with the outcome. Sooooo nice of them.

CHEERS!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023 Special Edition: Top 10 Poster Purchases of 2023

Welcome back! It's getting to be that time o' the year again. A new year is right around the corner and it's time us to reflect on all of the goodness that came our way during the year. Despite the fact that much of what is shown here is on linen (Groan...), the year still ended up being much better for me than it had any right to be. So, let's quite the dilly-dallying and go take a gander. Shall we? Here are the top 10 faves o' mine that I added in 2023: Runner up) THE MAZE (3-D on linen) : While not the most exciting of posters (Yes, it’s kind of dull.), it’s a vintage 3-D move poster from the first wave in the 1950s. Yahoo! Despite being on linen, it’s still a great find. This actually WAS included in my Top 10 for the year until another poster came along at the last minute that I like better. Instead of cutting it out, I just gave it the title of “runner up”. I’m still thrilled to have it. 10) DEEP RED: This should probably be further down the list as I

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2021 #11

Hi! Welcome to the 11th--and possibly LAST--- Shock-O-Rama Poster Show of the year --at least for several months. I'm busy packing for a move and up to my armpits in posters. (Details below.) UGH! I mean, I may buy more...but I don't have the time, money, and I want to be done with poster packing. Speaking of which, you may notice there is more than my usual 10 posters. Instead of holding back posters for some future posting (which may not be for months--if ever. My health issues keep rearing their ugly heads.), I'm posting everything I've gotten since last time. Take a peek or don't. I'm not feeling so well, which explains my rush to get this posted and the use of some online photos to illustrate today's posting. I'm going to go lay down. (Don't mind me...) Go ahead and take in the show: SHARKWATER EXTINCTION: I love the JAWS flicks, the rip-offs, and bad shark movies in general. This looks like it's probably a documentary--not a bad shark mov

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023: #10

Welcome back! I certainly did NOT expect to have any further posts with new purchases this 2023 calendar year, but here we are. Granted, most of these are holdover purchases from my temporary poster-buying insanity in October. I’d expected those to be the foundation for whatever post I kicked off the new year with. But now? I had a few more pick ups… Why hold back? Let’s send 2023 out with a real BANG! Christmas came a little early this year. Uh oh… The lights are dimming. Take your seats. Let’s see what I have for you this time… GIRL IN GOLD BOOTS: Not a great poster, but one I’ve been after for a while. This flick is an exploitationer from legendary B man Ted V. Mikels (CORPSE GRINDERS, ASTRO-ZOMBIES, BLOOD ORGY OF THE SHE-DEVILS, etc.). I saw it years ago. I don’t remember much other than that there is a girl (who wears gold go-go boots) who is a dancer (and maybe sings?) and is somehow involved in the criminal underworld. Like a lot of Mikels’ films…it doesn’t leave an indelible m
