Where do you buy your rare/special/big posters ?

Hello,
looking for web sellers of nice posters.
So far, I only found those ones:
http://movieposter.com/, http://www.atthemoviesltd.com/l/1.html, and allposter.com.

But they don't have what I'm looking for.

Anyone, please ?

Thanks.

Big posters, 4x6 ones, theaters-sized ones.
And, why not, special posters, like thin but loooong ones.

Yes of course, but even if the money question is put apart (as it can be very pricey sometimes), finding a MINT poster, from a guy with good positive ratio, shipping outside of the USA with a tube can be quite time consuming :=)

What movies ?
Well, now for example, for some nice Dawn of the Dead, KB2, Big Fish posters.
I'm looking for "big" movies posters. Not the old posters worth millions, just new movies posters, big ones, max $20-50.

Thanks Rushmore, will have a look at them

Err, is there a difference between them ?
By big, I mean at least 4Ftx6Ft. Any and all posters this size or above I'm looking for...

Yes there is difference. You want the bus stop or subway sized ones because the typical theatrical one sheet is about 27x40 inches. Probably ebay is your best bet for the really big ones, but usually they aren't too cheap.

And by "thin but loooong" do you mean long vertically? Those are called "inserts" and not as common to find. I like those myself.

Yes, I'm looking for the so-called "door-sized" ones. You can stick them to a door, just love that, want 2 or 3 of them. But except for ebay they are very rare

And about the size itself, "bus stoppers" or theaters-like ones, same thing for me, the bigger the better (never quote me out of context, please <eg>)

alright, just making sure. the theater size 27x40 is far easier to come by, while those bus stop ones are tough. You usually have to either get the tools and get them yourself at 3 in the morning... (Not that I ever have done this....) I know of one place (I call them the poster dykes) that has a Dawn of the dead Huuuuge bus stop size poster I could hit them up for the price.

for the 27x40, for newer posters, I usually have a lot of luck at the monthy flea market. They are usually around $20.

But subway size are another matter.
