Selling vintage posters in Devonport
Touring travellers sell up at the end of a trip rather than shipping things home, which puts camping and vehicle equipment onto the market here disproportionately. Agricultural work adds its own seasonal population on top.
The town is small and driving is easy. The ferry timetable shapes the traffic through town more than anything else, so it is worth avoiding the hour either side of a sailing if you are collecting something large.
On a caravan or anything that has toured, check the seals and the roof before the interior. Water ingress is what actually destroys them, and it is invisible from inside until the damage is done.
Devonport, in Tasmania, has around 30,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Hobart, Launceston and Sydney are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What vintage posters are worth
What lifts the price

What pulls it down
- Fold lines that have split
- Trimmed margins
Working out what yours is worth
- Look at the printing under magnification for dot patterns
- Photograph the margins and any fold lines
Getting it ready
- Measure the sheet precisely. Original release sizes are standardised by country and period, and a wrong size is usually the giveaway for a reproduction.
- Look at the image under magnification for the printing process, and check whether fold lines are original creases or a later flattening.

Subject, year, format and country: “Original French Grande Poster, [Title], 1966, Folded”. The format name and the country are what collectors search. Say original or reproduction in the title itself — leaving it ambiguous costs you the serious buyers, who simply skip listings that hedge.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
