this guide contains info on approx 3% of an estimated 100,000+ collectable UK flyers because a flyer is not yet in the guide does not necessarily mean it's collectable (it may have been frequently offered for sale, but not have attracted any buyers, or it may have been sold as part of collections, but not individually) common flyers are often more collectable than rare flyers 28,000 UK flyers are listed in the downloadable Hyperreal flyers database also at Hyperreal are links to galleries and an international collectors page | ||

a few notes on eBay auctions / fixed salesbasic search on ebay.co.uk for rave flyer(s)many rave flyers appear in the category Music Memorabilia - Dance other rave flyers can be found in eBay members' shops always check feedback left for others, and note what isn't said check seller's negative feedback left for others for reasonableness a flyer which sells for a good price one week may not find a buyer the next items with 'rave flyers' in their titles are easier to find collections which are fully listed with good pics of the flyers go for higher prices a winning bid is usually a proxy bid whch is less than the maximum bid winning bids are often lower than prices paid in private sales some items receive no bids because the minimum bid is set too high some items remain unsold because the reserve price is not met method of payment, time of end of sale, duplicate items etc may affect winning bid don't forget to check the postage - it often costs more than the flyers some sellers have excellent reputations and this attracts buyers many mistakes are made when dating flyers, an earlier year often being given year can be found from day of month + day of week using Windows Calendar eBay gradings can be very misleading ("ok for their age" is not very helpful) flyers described as "Mint except for..." are not mint most flyers described as "RARE" or "ULTRA RARE!!!" are common (as a rule of thumb, the more exclamation marks, the commoner the flyer) titles with phrases such as "not Dreamscape" don't inspire trust in the sellers be wary of descriptions such as "has never appeared on eBay before" be wary of very low price sales - they sometimes have excessive postage costs sellers providing full date info + quality pics make this guide easier to maintain |
