this is my very rough (1st draft) price guide for UK flyers based on prices paid and amounts offered that i've come across - if there's enough responses, and generally accepted values emerge, then maybe it can be expanded into a web page...
this is for mint condition flyers - prices in UKP - 'collections' refer to sales of 20+ (?) flyers
WARNING - no claim is made that this was accurate when written, and even if it was, by now it's probably out-of-date
1980s - top rarities (eg early Sunrise, Biology, Genesis) - up to 25.00 each
1990-1993 - rarities (eg early Dreamscapes & Fantazias, Fantasia Club Tours) - 5.00 to 20.00 each
1990-1995 - collectable - as collections 0.50 to 2.00 each, individually 1.00 to 10.00
1990-1995 - not so collectable - as collections 0.30 to 1.00 each
1996- collectable - as collections 0.30 to 1.00p each, individually 1.00 to 5.00
1996- not so collectable - as collections 0.10 to 0.50 each
follow-ups welcome from anyone who's bought/sold lots of flyers, or who's paid/received either more or less than the above prices and felt the deal was reasonable for both sides
also info is welcome re individual flyers or collections having been sold (not offered) for high prices, either privately, or from Ebay (EXCLUDING that early rockmem bid, which was probably cos they misunderstood the stepped bidding system in use at Ebay, and EXCLUDING info originating from Angelflyers, which has already been discussed elsewhere on the message board)
and if people put minimum / maximum prices they're prepared to pay, when asking after flyers on the message board, then i'll try and keep track of that, so far as it affects the above prices
