Selling some stuff... need some advice

So I've got about 23 small (like 14 by 14 inch) movie posters I was thinking of putting up for sale on eBay.  They're from relatively new movies (like from 15 on up) and I was wondering... do you think I should try to sell them individually real cheap or just put them all in a lot?

I've never actually sold anything online so I can't say what to do for sure. Have you tried comparing how much collections go on places like ebay against selling them singly?

Are they valuable? If you sell them individually and only get $1 or $2 each for them, it's probably not worth the time and effort by the time eBay and Paypal take their cut and you need to package them and take them to the post office. On the other hand, if you sell them all in a single lot you might not attract as many potential buyers (because some people might only want a few of them, so they won't bid on a lot of 23).

Good luck!

I dunno if they'd be valuable or not.  Seems like most "valuable" movie memorabilia is either high class stuff (like actual props or signatures) or it's older (like, I'm sure if say found say, an original Star Wars lobby poster.) But there are just plastic posters, so.. dunno. I'm sure some of them would be more popular than others (like bet I wouldn't any problem off-loading the John Wick 2 poster, for example, but The Boss might be a different story...)
