Says they are re-commencing at 12:35.....

****! I was the underbidder on an absentee bid with a max of 2200. Oh well - I have no excess funds and was going to have to sell stuff anyway to buy it, so perhaps it's for the best. Thanks, Max.

So frustrating watching the auction stall..... How can they let this happen at this point? Anyone know what the Meccano 12 backs went for? Especially the Han? I put in an absentee bid since it started really early here US time. If I didn't get an outbid email does that mean I won? Sorry to...

One hell of a score, Andy. What a thrill not only to add something to run after not being able to do so in a while, but also something as rarely seen as one of these Meccano baggies.

It's not the size of the podcast that matters. It's the size of your penis and testicles that really matters. Looking forward to the podcast as always!

It's funny that this is both the best and worst thing about Facebook IMO. The groups and the COTWs that get posted allow members an easier (from loading images standpoint and also a more targeted invitation to post a particular collectible) limelight than you would find on the forums. They are...

Lol that's a funny comment! And probably true. :D

Just wanted to send some public appreciation for a random act of kindness performed by forum member Michael Sith. A week or so back I made a post about how I am on a buying freeze right now due to family move and asking for advice from others about other things to do to pass the time and stay...

This is also almost exactly how I feel. As my collecting tastes have matured, I have realized that some of the more interesting items in my collection are a little rough around the edges. Of course when something is rare, you can't be too fussy about condition. when it comes to common stuff...

I guess this thread is all about it, so no need to repeat it, but since everything gets repeated these days on Facebook - same posts across 15 different groups, dozens of the same general vintage SW themed Facebook groups, several auction groups, etc. :lol: :lol: - I guess I will say it...

I have bid in maybe one or two Vectis auctions in the past, but it was a year or two ago. Do they yet have an option to bid directly on their site? Last time I did it, I had to bid through auctionzip.com. Is that still the case?

I guess I would just have to give you the same advice you recently gave me, my friend: I guess I haven't been paying much attention to Vectis the past few auctions because they must have had some pretty killer stuff for all of you guys to say this auction is pretty underwhelming. all the...

Similar to the thread that was started a few days ago about losing one's mojo, what have you guys done when you are in a place where your finances don't support purchasing ANYTHING, even if it's just a $5 figure? I recently moved my family and the expenses of a new home are such that I can't in...

I've met the real muscle behind the operation - Ken Black - several times in his facility in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, and he is a really good guy that seems to want to run the business the right way - for the benefit and mindful of the concerns of collectors. He and Todd are both aware of the...

Lots of information about CAS in this thread in the 12 back group, including more info on Todd DeMartino, one of the equity owners of CAS - the guy that had issues with book pre-orders. Lots of positive info too that I don't have the time to repeat...

12 back group. A great COTW - cool to see the other stuff people collect. Agree with Dan - most of these guys' car "collections" consist of one car (not sure that is a collection). Only a guy or two had a bunch and high end cars at that. More than a few guys had very modest collections. In...

I swear on my kids that that was what I have planned. It will be a fun and funny (and inexpensive!) run to put together. so funny you said that!

I **** you not, Max - that's what I was planning on!!!!!! ****ing hysterical...... Shouldn't cost a lot of money, and will be cool to try and catalog all of the variations (assuming there are any).

I see the same in the Facebook groups as well. I believe TFA caused a huge bubble of interest, which has waned.

Carl, this is a tough one for sure and one that continually pops up in the hobby. Of course it's not your fault, but it's also not the fault of your buyer. It's the fault of the RM, but the question is who between you and your buyer should bear the risk that the RM doesn't do anything about...
