I don't understand why someone would buy multiple copies of these and sell them for face value on ebay  Also selling a "official" museum Parliment poster which (as far I know) isn't on sale at the museum. Dodgy geezer with a printer??

Could this seller be someone from POW or Pest Control? Would make sense, to stop them being flipped and keep the price down. I can understand printing fake posters, but Postcards would be a bit harder!

I can understand printing fake posters, but Postcards would be a bit harder! It would defeat the purpose as to why these posters and postcards are available - the idea is to generate money for the museum for putting on this free show. No one is flipping anything, the prices this person is selling them for is the amount they are for sale at the museum and its not like they are limited editions.

I'm sure there were some of the posters on ebay for higher prices before this person started selling (I'm sure I saw an auction or 2). Just a guess though as to who this person is...

Just had an email from the ebay seller. He says he is selling them to stop the flipping... but didn't say who he is. I've bought a few things, so we'll see!

Why is the postage so high? To cover their extra time and effort? We'll see when the items arrive.
