These both sold yesterday for I think £850 as I said in another thread at http://www.the-saleroom.com/
The other four are due up for sale on the 25th http://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/hartleys/catalogue-id-srhar10016/lot-e10787cf-2566-4ae6-8f6e-a47400ccc51b
Mate, FYI it's really bad etiquette to out auctions, be thoughtful to others who have taken the time to look for these things
Luckily I'm no longer interested in those 4 figures because as shown on the rebelscum link they have all been ripped off the cards
I know there has been some mention on here about not outing ebay auctions but as far as I'm aware there's never been anything said about other auctions, that's why there are so many threads about the Vectis ones before they commence.
It sounds to me like this is an auction that you were interested in and although I know it sucks to have things made public knowledge I really don't think it's fair to have mentioned what you did above. Maybe this is something that could be discussed for the future but at the moment people seem to be happy to be made aware.
As a new member I hope you stick around and benefit from this great site. There's lots to be learned here about all things vintage and it would be good to hear your thoughts on some areas of this at some point.

It's kinda an unwritten rule, if I wanted people to know that these were coming up for auction, then i would have posted a direct link, the fact that i didn't speaks for itself. Of course people would love to be made aware that something rare is up for grabs, but why would the original poster want added competition for said item?
Like i said the guy outed the 1st lot 'after' they ended, which is fine, but he also outed the other 4, which are still available.
Luckily like i posted it's been shown that these other 4 have all been ripped open, so they are no longer of interest to me, but maybe are to other folks who have tried to keep them under the radar.
If you find a bargain or something of interest, that no one has already brought up which you don't want then feel free to mention links etc.
Vectis is like ebay now, so nothing is going to escape unnoticed on there IMHO.
Hope you understand where i'm coming from, but it's kinda been the way these things are dealt with, for the period 1995-2006 when I was a collector.
