: he has apprently sold same flyer for £35?
not quite true
i can throw some light on this one...
i've had various contacts with dvidfun, who sells "cool records, movie memorabilia, cult films and collectibles" - he's replied to my requests for info, i've bought flyers from him at reasonable prices, and he's always been friendly
initially i emailed him about his sale of a DS1 + DS2 for 35.00 (buy it now price 75.00) re the description which included "The Dreamscape 1 flyer has been listed as worth over £1000!" - i sugested that it was misleading to indicate DS1 was worth that amount (the item didn't sell - there were no bids)
dvidfun was grateful for my advice and having heard that it was worth a lot of money (from the Metro article again), he asked me about the value of the Littlecote flyer because "I dont wanna be missleading anyone.... just after what is a fair price." - i advised him to check out the price guide and see for himself what the actual prices were
he then put a not very good condition Littlecote up for sale with a starting bid of 15.00, including in the description "This flyer was listed in The Metro as worth £800!!!" - there were 4 bids, all in the last 20 minutes, all by 2676dan (who had joined ebay the day before), his final bid being 25.00 (not 35.00)
five minutes before his final bid in dvidfun's Littlecote sale, 2676dan made a winning bid of 3.70 for 4 Mint fantazias (which also included a Littlecote) in a sale which ended 15 minutes after dvidfun's sale
(dvidfun changed his ebay name to dvidfun2 two days later)
2676dan is now selling 5 Fantazias (including the Littlecote) with a starting bid of 8.00 (no bids so far) which includes in the description "this was once listed in the metro as being worth 800 pounds"
and dvidfun2 is now selling a Mint Fantazia with a starting bid of 35.00 and buy it now price of 95.00 (no bids so far) with a description including "You'll probably not see one of these flyers in this condition ever again?!?!?"
unless of course you check out 1nightnymph's sale (starting bid 99p - no bids so far)
