Hi, I can relate, it never fails when I Put up an old concert shirt, not only do I put the size in the auction title, I usually have the size in the opening sentence, and again at the end before I quote shipping costs. These are the 2 emails I always get: nice shirt, how about putting in a size? and this one is even better,I read your auction description so many times and can not find the size do you think it will fit me, or (my husband, son, boyfriend, etc.) I will never forget one of my summer job was working at a department store in a large mall, people just come up to you and ask, Where did I park? could you tell me where I parked my car? in a nice polite tone (I was young then) you ask them if they remember what they saw when they entered the mall, invariably they answer stores.

lattefor2; About 15 yrs ago my wife & I were working in Houston as relieg mgrs in a motel on I-45 on the north side the city. One afternoo my wife went to this huge mall, on one end was Dillards Dept Store & on the other was Foley's. She was ready to come heme & couldn't find the car. Guess what she went one dopt store & exited out the other. It took a security man in a pick up to find the car. Believe me she didn't leve that down until her death.

I think what fools people is the word card. Most people think all cards are small like baseball cards or playing cards.

Auctionace: Maybe, but there is a whole category on Ebay for Lobby Cards and the size was printed in size 4 bold font, centered and spaces in-between.

Sanmar, my parents were famous for doing this, they would enter the mall through penney's and leave via Sears. They were always riding around the mall parking lot with the security guard helping them. finally the security guard gave my father a little spiral notebook to write the aisle # and section # down. He said to my father here you go keep this in your glove box, and when you come to the mall you can write down where you parked, he made a special effort to point out the markings for them. well the next time of course they forgot where they parked, went to the security office, the guard said why didn't you use the pad I gave you, My mother said we did and I wrote everything down and put it back in the glove compartment!
