Hi Annie I had a quick look at recent sales of your titles at the two main poster sites emovieposter.com and heritage. This is all far from scientific and doesn't completely allow for grading issues, but it's maybe interesting to see how recent sales compare against your desired opening bids of $61 (and $77 for the Return advance)
Recent Sales and Dates TITLEEmovieposterHeritage Return (teaser) $250 (2010)$418 (2011) Return (A)$78 (2011) $250 (2010) $108 (2010) $80 (2010)$239 (2011) (nb there is currently another of these on ebay with an opening bid of $61) Terminator $192 (2011) $172 (2011)$149 (2004, only sale) (nb there's one on ebay now with 4 bids at $105) Empire$130 (2011) $153 (2011) $117 (2010) $179 (2011) (nb there's one on ebay about to close listed at $122 with no bids currently) OctopussyN/AN/A (one on ebay with BIN of $153) These posters are kind of junk I'm afraid: Return (triple) N/AN/A Supergirl $17 (2011)$11 (2007) Gauntlet $17 (2010) $26 (2009) $24 (2009) $20 (2009) $17 (2010)N/A I'd personally have reservations about listing the Return of the Jedi teaser at $77. but who knows, there might be high snipe bids in place. I would, as richard evans suggests, consider consigning these or listing these them at BIN prices that you would be happy to receive if you're in no mad rush to liquidate them.

I've put several posters up on eBay which I KNOW are worth a bundle.... Although I know they are worth more, I started the bidding at about £40.00 GBP. Now they HAVE attracted attention. I have received several private messages asking to sell quick and end the auction (which I have respectfully declined) and the top two currently have a lot of "watchers"... however they have yet to attract a single bid. My worry is that they will end up going for WAY under their selling price due to the unpredictability of the eBay system. Although it would protect my valuable posters, I was told that putting reserves on posters can scare bidders away. I'm even tempted to cancel the auction at the weekend, rather than lose my valuable items to auction tactics. (I'm not being greedy... I just don't want to be ripped off) Please give me some advice on this, as I'm NOT a dealer, but times are hard and I need these posters to reach at least their average value!
