Gig Poster Help!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Via ebay I've met a guy who collects gig posters from Punk/New Wave bands late 70's/early 80's. He's interested in some of my collection and has asked me to name my price. That's the problem ... I haven't a clue what they're each worth. £5 or £50? :?

Any experts out there? Or anyone know a resource I can research?

Thanks in advance. :notworthy:

Depends what they are I suppose :urff: , I paid thirty quid for an Origional Ghost Dance "River of no Return" promo' poster, a tenner for a LOUD poster and was outbid at sixty quid :eek: for a RED LORRY YELLOW LORRY poster.

jeezus! so my 5ft albert hall, floodland, and vision thing posters may be worth something? not to mention the alice-era poster quiffboy gave me. (not that i'd part with them).

just out of interest, i've got a "finest adult movies" that i was given. it's definitely from around the FALAA release- was it given away with anything does anyone know? it folds down to a 12" square so it looks as if it may have.

I know. Price paid is dependant on how much the buyer really wants it and whether they're a fan. This guy is a Siouxsie/Cure nut so is gaging for a Siouxsie poster (Peterborough 28.08.81) that I have and wil pay top dollar. I've also got a Cure poster up on ebay and he had the balls to ask the reserve. When I told him "as close to £100 as you can get" he replied "no probs, I'll definitely be bidding ..." :eek:

As he's a collector I doubt he would pay top dollar for his second or third tier bands. He might pay £30 for a Damned poster which a Damned fan would pay £60 for. But it would be convenient to offload them in one lot rather than individual ebay sales (which is a lottery at the best of times) unless you really are selling something unique. I'll have to ponder somemore. :roll:

Quite possibly but it all depends on numbers produced and numbers still surviving. I'm talking about gig posters from Dusseldorf and Peterborough 77-81 (some autographed, some with ticket stubs) where maybe only 10-20 were ever printed and few, if any, (apart from mine) still exist. 8)

@ JB

Check out a very select website called - I think ELI.Com or something like that - they sell anything rare - and buy stuff too. I know they have Sisters ticket stubbs selling at £12.99!!!!!

@ Johnny Boy - You should also do the same - I am sure they are selling and buying rare posters.

I find their prices ridiculous - but if YOUR selling and they are buying you could be quids in.

I am not sure on the name - just google ELI Music store - they are besed in the UK

Hope this helps

I'll have to look out what old posters I have, if they're gonna be worth something.
The only one I know for certain I have is a dayglo yellow Zodiac Mindwarp Leeds 28 April (1987) as it's on my ceiling. I did have more posters on my ceiling but I got fed up with having to put them back up every time they fell down, and that's the only one that never fell down.
