    gasslite r2d2

    No worries! I have one, I've just somehow developed a bee in my bonnet about buying my old stuff back... very strange!

    Yes, that could well have been me! If you've still got it I'll buy it back!

    gasslite r2d2

    Depends on the condition - but even a rough one is pricey these days. Were you around years ago? If so, and you're selling up now, be aware that prices for most MOCs have risen hugely over the past 3 years or so - especially mint items and non-US items!

    Meccano moc ?

    A load went through vectis about 6 months ago, so that might help. I think at $500 you'd sell pretty quickly, but at $1000 it would take ages. I made some enquiries about selling my Meccano run very recently and the range of values was similarly wide; but many more sought after cards were...

    Palitoy 20-bk DSD & R5

    No, definitely 2 so far... one poster on here got the first set, the others went higher - I bid on the second but didnt know about the first. I'm after a set of the 8, so have been following the sales.

    Palitoy 20-bk DSD & R5

    They sold another set a few months ago, although prices were higher. I bid on the PD but can't remember how much it went for - £3k maybe?

    Palitoy 20-bk DSD & R5

    Brian's toys sold a dsd graded maybe a 75 for £1200ish on eBay this year, FYI.

    Palitoy 20-bk DSD & R5

    £2k for dsd and 1.5k for R5, if they display well. To get more they'd need to be graded pretty highly imo.

    I wouldnt bother sending it to AFA - it will take an age and come back a 40 or something if it's genuine. UKG in the UK will be faster if you're based here, or CAS turnarounds are pretty good. I'd probably just get a COA from Bill McBride though, if he'll do one/

    The doorbell went this morning and the postman passed me a parcel... nothing super unusual there, aside from the fact I wasn't expecting anything! It turns out that Carl Dennis decided to send me one of the two figures I needed for a run of Palitoy Jedi figures I've been working on... as a...

    First ever toys as a collector?

    I bought a complete boxed Palitoy Falcon for £20 (still have it!) in about 1995. Probably a year later I bought my first moc - Palitoy 12 bk Vader for £80 or £90. I remember my dad going mental saying the sellers were taking advantage of me!

    £30 sounds about right to me.

    Any new stories to do with dealing with the other half?

    yeah... I want this handbag - sell your vinyl caped jawa. We need a new kitchen - sell you vinyl caped jawa ;)

    Any new stories to do with dealing with the other half?

    Just don't spend money which is earmarked for joint stuff and never, ever, ever say 'we can't afford to do that' if you spent the money on SW. After that, **** it... you can always break the emergency glass and release the last resort 'I could be out spending the money on blow and hookers' phrase.

    What do you do when you hit a Brick Wall?

    PM one of the mods and get the IP address - he probably has a legitimate account on there too. He may even be on here!

    What do you do when you hit a Brick Wall?

    Honestly, treat it as bullshit until you see cast iron proof. There are a lot of strange people in this hobby.
