    Vinyl Cape Jawa UKG 80

    We found online auction houses pretty late in our collecting. (What sets might have been finished isn't worth thinking about). But I wouldn't have though a tied bid possible, as the auctioneer should have stated that, to try and get a winner and a higher price. I imagine you wouldn't get 2...

    Vinyl Cape Jawa UKG 80

    Interesting to hear about "room bidders" as I also thought they were in the room. Didn't your bidding screen not say you were the highest bidder, or had gone green or red in the amount box ? It sounds similar to the Vectis auction years ago that wasn't accepting Internet bids, and I ended up...

    Toy of the week 2, Week 2, 2024, Slave I Boba Fett's Spaceship

    Congratulations @Snaketibe. Am I correct in that the Palitoy ESB slave 1- the sticker sheet was in the baggie, and ROTJ was loose in the box ? An eBay listing spiked my interest, and I checked old vectis sale lots.

    Current prices ....

    Probably more people has a chance on the Death Star price wise than the VCJ. I would have gone for the death star, out of preference, although I wanted the Ben, but would rather give a seller the money rather than a auction house take their cut. Depending what deal the seller managed to...

    The beach today

    I remember it as I was about 6, and we had recently had a school trip to Penscynor wildlife park, it could have been a story we were told so we all weren`t scared, or afraid to go and play. But it was only a couple of feet from me and my friend. (It was before they were protected in 81 )

    We did try Mewslade, but she couldn`t get down the narrowest stoney path drop, yep small world :D

    The beach today

    There was an adder nest behind 2 caravans in our field many, many years ago. I won`t say what the men did...

    The beach today

    We used to have a caravan in highfields many years ago. The old post office is now a house, and dogs are only allowed on one side of the beach, and rhere was a lifeguard station on the beach...God It must be 10 years since I was there last 🙄

    The beach today

    We took the Shetland pony to the Gower today for her to see the sea, absolutely beautiful day in Port Eynon, and she went in the sea 😁 Anyone else visited the beach ?

    Vectis now

    I can't say with the new format, but surprised you haven't had an email stating the funds have been taken if it was 2 days ago, as they were always quite quick taking payments. Unless they are having software problems

    Vectis now

    The live video feed stopped working about mid day, but eventually they restarted the lot that had issues. I won a Tri logo and am sorry I didn`t bid on a few others now, as I fancy a few things with C&T, so was holding off..

    Any snow where you live ?

    The new willow series was filmed in a few parts of Merthyr, Morlais Quarry and Ponsticill areas- https://www.visitwales.com/things-do/attractions/tv-and-film-locations/welsh-destinations-starring-new-willow-disney-series. one film crew filmed on the reservoir and lit it up, but I don`t think it...

    Any snow where you live ?

    The Brecon Beacons, but ashamedly I`m not 100 % certain where. It looks as if it could be Ponsticill area ( where they filmed the Winter Prince and Willow) https://www.storeyarms.com/ the 9th picture looks like the area in the photos, with the stone wall

    Any snow where you live ?

    A little snow hanging around on the mountains here. Had to arrange a first babysit for the pup, and the dog trainer excelled in photography.

    Vectis today 30/01/2024

    I've finally set up my account on their new system. I must admit I preferred the old website - all it needed was extra pictures of the items listed, like C&T do

    Vintage investment collectors...30 years from now?

    Wasn't the condition on this one not near as good as the 1st one the rep found, in the attic ? Also I would say most things have dropped in value at the moment, due to the economic climate. Loans are not as cheap or a remortgage, and if you have the cash, perhaps you are feeling cautious...

    That's what we call hard frost in the valleys 🤣 Thankfully it missed us this time.

    Capital Gains Tax

    Most arrange a mutually beneficial location these days due to the reason mentioned. However , will this result in collectors stopping collecting, or thinning out collections in the future ? We all like to hope our collections would be a nice inheritance or rainy day money- someday. Would the...
