AICN never does fact checking. Sometimes they get the goods, but they are very easily faked out.

This was fan art created by LMM and posted on the Star Wars thread at The Home Theater Forum.

HARRY'S A FAT FUCKEN IDIOT.

[Hade]

That place has become completely ridiculous!

I'm hardly ever at HTF and even I know that was a Fatboy/LMM creation.

What 'tards.

I agree... this is totally fake, the bottom doesnt even come close to matching the top in quality.... and notice how Revenge of the Sith is not even listed anywhere..... would LF leave that off? I think not![/quote]

Just thank your lucky stars that AICN has no influence over politics.

Mindless morons running that site (even their page design is a fucking joke).

[red_lifesavers]

LOL I've never had any faith in AICN.

I just sent the seller a question and got a quick reply:

I have no idea whether or not the poster image is fake, however the winning bidder will receive an official poster in 6-10 weeks. The image may be different on the poster the buyer receives. I just used this image from the internet so the buyer has something to look at.

Cheers

The only scoops coming from AICN are those filled with food that originate from Harry's red beard.

There's one constant to selling on ebay: Never underestimate the stupidity of its buyers. I have sold tons on ebay, and the more I dumb down my items for sale, the more money I get for them, i.e. less details, worse pictures, playing ignorant, etc.

I love how these people are bidding on something that they won't even receive for 6 weeks. And they obviously won't receive that particular poster, but the auction advertises that image as the poster they will receive.

I'm always leary of the bullshit sellers and buyers with low rating try to pull, but apparently no one else is. Here's a great example of on of my latest auctions and how stupid people came through for a friend.

Me and a buddy sold identical grab bad items from the SpaceShipOne launch. Even used same description, same picture, everything. I put mine up an hour befor his, but he changed the title of his to include "Richard Branson" and "Virgin". True, he's associated, but that's like putting "USC" in a Star Wars auction. Our page view totals only differed by 20, but my auction closed at 40 and his closed at 111.

My auction even had a lower starting bid, bu people wanted to battle it out for something that was at 85 dollars, than something that was the exact same product at 21 dollars. Good job America!

You have faith in humanity? You've been holding out on us.

[SI]

I just read that thread at HomeTheatreForum.

I have known for a few years that stupidity reigns on eBay, however, your spiel really brought home the fuckwittery of the human species.

[CoGro]

Dude, you are fucken hilarious.

[Faid]

Why not go back to the poster and make it look more professional if you're so dissatisfied with it?

[PTGrievous]

Mindless morons running that site (even their page design is a fucking joke).

Actually, I like it, it's like a time warp to 1993

ho hum

I'v lost faith in AICN a long time ago when they posted some fake news on the opening scroll .. claming to have seen it allready. Lamer allert

Do you think the seller was bidding on his own items via his other accounts and you wrote him? The nasty email kind of gives me that vibe. I have dealt with lots of vintage Star Wars toys on eBay, and I have to tell you that it happens so often it's disgusting.

i like looking at that site but the talkbackers and sw haters are ri-gottdamn-diculous.
