: cant believe the Metro article

this story crops up every couple of years or so... always from the same source (who are trying to sell their flyers)

: surely hundreds of people have kept their flyers

tens of thousands more like :)

: It would be good good to have some sort of supermarket site where you can view them and have some sort of estimated cost attached.

Ebay is a guide - at least it's independent - and it's easy to see which flyers are attrcting interest - tho recently rockmem have been buying up lots of flyers collectins there and this has been pushing the price up

one of the plans i had for my flyers database was to attach a price estimate for each flyer... just need a couple of full-time volunteers :)

: I would imagine in 30 or 50 years time them flyers would be worth a bit of cash.

nostalgia usually peaks when people are in their 40s and the kids have left home or finished college and there's a bit of spare cash around :)

IMO the rarest and most sought after ones will keep increasing in value - prices for common or non-collectible flyers will probably stabilise in the next 2 or 3 years

(tho the future is always unpredictable)
