Yeah your right its about money to me as this isnt my hobby, its my business...! Plus what people think of me doesnt faze me, Ive been called worse :D Regarding the figures as I mentioned in my previous post......they dont exist...

Well played Andy :D

Andy, I dont really care whether people think they exist or not, and lets get real...do you really think as a businessman Im going to go to my customer and ask for pictures just to put on a forum to prove their existance...No..! is the answer. My buyer has been a good client of mine for many...

Gosh no, I will have some great product with me but the 5x30bks have been sold to a collector Ive known for years in Asia, Hes only recently got into buying SW, as hes been a collector of tin toys/ diecast and tv related items for years but now hes investing well into SW. I will be straight with...

:D

I love the top bit and I cant argue its a great comparison.....sometimes when I have great product I do wonder if people need the item more than they do food, alcohol or their daily hits.........it is very much like a drug this collecting carry on.......but its a great life dealing........I...

No worries Joe, I found it amusing actually. Come and say Hi at Celebration...I.C.Toys stand N106. Its all good banter... :D

I agree Iain, but nevermind, Im used to it and to be fair its all a bit of banter......remember this if I was to sell all my carded high end products on here for £10 a card, everyone would want to be my best mate.... :D Before anyone starts sending me pms......Im not selling any for a tenner :D

Firstly I love the knock knock joke, fair play, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. :D Secondly, I agree with you that there are many people buying in the usual places and flipping it straight away but there are hard core dealers like myself who have been pulling SW and other toys out...

Exactly the point. Im a dealer/flipper and a registered business so I dont see the point of why people moan. The main point is if every item was only worth £1 nobody would want them, but I wish a few people would stop moaning about dealers/flippers as if it wasnt for dealers there wouldnt be...

Your sounding like a saint mate, have you ever thought of becoming a priest...? :D , I see your getting more grief today on the forum....chill man, dont take it to heart, its toys afterall... :D all good my side, no hard feelings but no apology also, we both said our bit... :D

Max, you say your tired of losing out on deals, well my advice to you mate is try offering a decent price for items instead of trying to get real bargains. The reason you lost out on some great Palitoys from me is you told me your offer was good and you werent low balling me, two weeks later...

You should me better than to ask mate.... :D Four free cups of coffee.... :D

Ive dealt with Vectis for years and for the amount of lots they sell, their descriptions are normally excellent, due to the volume they turnover, mistakes in descriptions will always occur and any description is actually the cataloguers own opinion which could differ from the buyers opinion in...

Having being a client of Vectis for nearly 20 years and also other auction houses included, all your theories are pretty true to a degree but the plain matter is all auction houses want to sell, its about the commision only to them as that is what pays all their overheads and makes them profit...

Just to put the record straight it never came with a box.....it came mint on a card :D

Very good points Edd, with all my experience buyers dont actually look at what one sold for before, they just offer and buy, but your very right in what you say about perceptions of worth, I totally agree with you on that one 100%, everyone has their own opinion on values I suppose. Regarding...

I always sell with a clear conscience...! :D

A very interesting topic really, but I keep seeing so many people mention about "back in the day". "Back in the Day" if it was so cheap then why didnt you all buy the items you want then..?, simple...because its the same as now, each individuals budget wouldnt rise to the prices 10,20 or even...

Have no fear chaps...the collecting cycle works over a good 60 years in toys, from childhood to retirement. :wink: Basically with any good toy product at first kids play with it. 10-15 years later some will collect it, 20-25 years later once mortgages etc are paid off, many more will collect...
