Certainly you aren't suggesting that by simply linen backing a poster the
"value" of the poster has increased?
I was merely offering an opinion that perhaps the market value for past
stars has decreased significantly.
I don't think I was going out on a limb there.
As for values of posters, retail or auction, since only a very small
minority of the members of the list have retail stores (are there more than
10 in the entire USA?), and only a few more even have web sites, I suspect
that closest measure of true value must be derived from auctions.
Certainly any informed buyer will check the auction results before making a
purchase (I know I would).

"Good" condition usually means it looks like garbage in a frame. The poster
in question was linen-backed, which costs approximately $200 these days. I
reiterate that the price he was asking was not excessive. Granted you can
find bargains one week at Heritage's and Bruce's auctions that the following
week will cost four times as much.

And emovie sold a folded copy in "good" condition, in June of 2013, for
$82.00 (£ 50.23 )
So, £ 245 seems to be on the hefty side of the price scale.

Seems like Heritage just sold an un-backed copy in "Fine" condition in
February for $33 (20.19 pounds).
Pretty sheet, but I'm not sure the market for Basil and Douglas Jr.
is all that strong.
