Posters don't sell for very much unless they are much older. There are collectors, but there were plenty of posters made, and many of those are sitting around waiting for a market.

One problem with posters is that they are too large for many households to display. I've got a ton of posters from the 1970s that I'd like to sell, so I'm in the same boat as you. Sadly, the best use for some posters is as wallpaper. I've made a couple of sharp looking poster walls by collaging them and using orange shellac to give a feeling of age.

how much would you say current posters go for? If I, as an employee, wanted one, the manager sometimes "looses" one for me, or i have to buy it for 20 bucks.

With the requisite 'rarity' exceptions [recalled items, Star Wars, etc], the market for current issue posters is very small. They can usually be had for 5 dollars or less even on Ebay.

However, in some markets there are mall stores and the like that retail market both vintage and current issue posters, usually a highly inflated prices, even more so if they are autographed. One such store in the same mall as a Pacific 14-plex (One doesn't have to be a rocket scientist to guess where the store gets it common poster stock from) sells current-issue posters for $20-25 each and the prices go up depending on the scarcity or covetability of the item. They also have autographed items and other not-for-public-consumption items as pressbooks and lobby cards/stills.

We usually keep our stocks of old posters and give them away to the employees during the company Christmas party.
