I THINK my Facebook is still active from the last time I sold stuff but I am never on there. I HATE Facebook. Between selling stuff I normally close my account but if you want to send me a friend request I'll gladly accept it…..in 8 months when I next log on lol.

I think we have a forum Facebook page, you'll probably find most of us via that

Sure I would love to send a friendly request. I am still new on facebook. So far I only use it to sell some stuff that I do not use anymore and to look after vintage star wars with danish price stickers that is for sale. It will never replace the forum.

I do exactly the same!

I even went and logged on and added Carl (I don't like admitting to knowing Arsenal fans, but they are better/less bad and than Utd fans).
You'll find me via him, or the forum FB page etc.

My real name, isn't "Weasel" would you believe, it's Jeremy

I am glad to know your name is Jeremy what is your name on facebook ?

No, it's not. It's horrible.

Can't find the thread to add my thoughts

Lies lol, I assume it's unused but what the actual, I don' really get these huge slabs of acrylic with all the parts laid out, looks a right dogs dinner, I have some things graded myself but am always trying to make the acrylic as small as humanly possible, I just don't get these kind of displays, but I have to remind myself that we all like hings differently.

I agree, it's pretty gaudy looking! I love the look of sealed or MIB stuff in acrylic, but never understand the appeal of grading loose vehicles and play sets (maybe if they are preproduction).

That wagon would look so much better carefully put together with figures on it. That acrylic case also takes up way too much precious collection real estate. Just my thoughts.

"A thing of beauty" …….Aye, if you're the kinda guy who would happily pay to see a Susan Boyle sex tape. Non UK members may need to google the stunner that us Susan Boyle

 

[Beeper383]

That display is not my cup of tea…

 

[Frunkstar]

Agree totally about the huge display space aspect, I know some love things set out like this & all power to them, it would be a boring old world if we all loved the same thing, but like kenner76 said for me seing it displays put together with some figures would be more pleasing to the eye from my perspective.

Would look ok boxed in a case ( protects the box either storage wise or on display if you have the room) but laid out in component pieces is not for me, but as Frank says, each to his own!

Splitting an item out by component is perfect for a museum piece, and that (imo) would normally be some sort of pre prod, not just opening a factory item

Didn't we use to have a guy named Jabbawocky who might have liked that?

 

[weasel]

We did, and it would be right up his street

£1000 for a Trilogo 70C R2-D2 Sensorscope in the DOND group, it wasn't even in particularly good condition! You obviously see the odd anomoly but that is easily three times what I would have thought it was worth, and while my market awareness is low I thought most things were on the slide rather than going up. Is there a Trilogo renaissance happening? nobody seemed that interested in mine at Echo Live.

 

[lejackal]

I saw your post about it. TBH I would have it under a niche item. I wouldn't go lower than a grand now though!

There are a lot of Tri-Logo's being offered at present on FB and nothing is moving.
I've seen many that do sell going for 25% less than I would have expected.
