Re: Questions for Bruce-EMP
Our auctions have been updated and now view differently for faster loading!
FIVE DAYS AGO, WE SENT ALL OUR REGISTERED USERS AN EMAIL THAT INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING:
1) https://www.auctionanything.com/ is upgrading their software for better loading speed, and for better viewing on mobile devices
2) THE BIDDING PORTION OF OUR SITE WILL BE "DOWN" FOR 4 TO 8 HOURS VERY LATE THURSDAY NIGHT TO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING TO UPLOAD THE ABOVE UPGRADE
3) When the https://www.auctionanything.com/ bidding portion of our site comes back online Friday morning, the individual auctions will look "different" but those are planned cosmetic changes and our site has NOT been "hacked"!
HERE IS AN UPDATE ON WHERE THINGS NOW STAND:
AuctionAnything ended up taking 2 days to complete their update,. with the auctions returning online Saturday. We very much apologize for this, although it was completely out of our control.
๐ช๐๐ฌ ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ต๐ผ๐๐ ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐, ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป ๐ต๐ผ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐บ ๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐น๐๐ฒ๐?
Because this means that we (unlike EVERY other major auction) can't see the "secret" maximum bids our bidders place on our auctions (but every other auction can). THIS is why, when you enter a supposed secret high maximum bid on so many other auctions, somehow another bidder "magically" bids to just under your maximum.
This never happens in our auctions, because they are hosted by a third party, so we can't see what you bid (and besides, we would never do this anyway, because we want only 100% honest auctions!). A few years ago, AuctionAnything.com added a mobile version of their auctions, for the ever-growing number of people who access the auctions through their cel phones. Over that time they had to maintain two completely separate versions of the same site, which was time-consuming and costly.
Now Auction Anything has consolidated the two versions into one, which means that our auctions have a really new look. This is now in place, and, if you have not done so already, please go to our current auctions (see them all at https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/all.html ) and click on any auction, and you will quickly see the differences.
At first, the auctions seem very different. But honestly, the changes are purely cosmetic. Some things are in slightly different places, and some are different colors, but pretty much everything that was there is still there! And behind the scenes, the auctions will load far faster than before, which is a big plus.
There is one significant change, and that is that the "bid box" is now near the top of the page, right below the time left area (which is more prominent and green). This is very good for people who bid on lots of items, because it means they won't have to scroll down past the movie description and condition description to get to the bid box, saving them a lot of time.
But because bidders will have only the condition grade above the bid box and NOT the condition description, some may not look closely at the condition BEFORE placing their bid, and then regret their bid, and if this happens a lot, we may have to move the bid box back to the bottom of the page. Time will tell!
IMPORTANT! This changeover will surely have some "hiccups" and if you find any problem with the new "look" of the auctions, let us know, so we can get it fixed. And please give yourself a chance to get used to them, because we feel sure you will soon get used to them, and like the quicker loading and the more conveniently placed bid box!
To sum up:
1) https://www.auctionanything.com/ upgraded their software for better loading speed, and for better viewing on mobile devices. The auctions were supposed to be offline for 4 to 6 hours, but it ended up lasting 2 days, and we apologize, but they returned online Saturday.
2) Our auctions have a really new look!

Please give yourself a chance to get used to the changes, because we feel sure you will soon get used to them, and like the quicker loading and the more conveniently placed bid box!
We also created a new logo for our home page (it is live), and we will make other changes to it as well over the coming weeks.

Capt. Frank Hurley was the cinemaphotographer on both expeditions.
ย How rare is material from these three films? Some real life history advertised here which would be wonderful to own..

Re: Questions for Bruce-EMP
"Might be a bug in the latest software update."
Yes. The update is on AuctionAnything, the company that hosts the auctions.
But eMoviePoster.com has to synch a lot of stuff to their data, and they messed a lot of that up with their update.
We are rushing to get it all fixed, but its complicated!
More on this tomorrow.
Thanks for understanding. The silver lining is that the first auctions don't close for 9 days.

Re: Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled]
I think in all probability they just didn't think of adding a blank space!ย

ย (Both Wil)
Wheels Across A Wilderness (1966) early 16mm commercial released film daybill and one sheet film posters.ย
Two things to highlight here are firstly a one sheet produced for a commercial 16mm Australian release is indeed rare. The only one that I am aware of. Secondly no blank section appearing on the bottom of the daybill, and also the one sheet. It would certainly appear that this practice of having a blank space added was only introduced at a later period of time, most likely very early 1970s with the surfing film boom.

I'd say that the 35mm prints would have been blow ups from 16mm, common practice in those days.
On checking I found that Escape World Safari!ย 111 was originally shot on Arrifex 16SR2 cameras (16mm). Then as you mentioned it would have been blown up to 35mm, with this being the print submitted to the Australian filmย censor.
