You guys wouldn't understand- you weren't there man!!!!!
Ahem. I have spent two days at that auction, viewing on Thursday and bidding on Friday. There was some great stuff, I photographed every lot so I can upload these I required.
I was so excited about the two palitoys, I was prepared to go high on those... Almost fell over when I saw the bubbles has been "scalped". I still bid £100 as they both display nicely and- it's Ben!! Got to be one of the toughest to find 12 backs. Unpunched too
The weapons lot went crazy- probably 300-400 weapons, nothing particularly rare- the best was a lummat bow. at least 20% of them were repro and there were quite a few with broken straps etc. They sold for a quite incredible £310 plus commission (20%)
The Vc jawa pictured was fake...... The colour and cut were good but not cross hatching and it was waaaay to thick. The buyer was convinced it's the real deal :roll:
Of the figure lots there were two great lots-
First up Amanaman, barada, ev9d9, pop up r2, luke poncho and the four last 17 ewoks. I was buying to sell- so I went to £160-170, the buyer paid about £220 (plus commission!!)
The other niiiiiice figure lot was a minty mint minto Yak face and an excellent blue snag with only two microscopic paint rubs on the feet. I really wanted them! Again I went to £200 an they sold for £230.
I did buy some great stuff though- so it was worth it. I thought I stood a chance of a bargain but when it turned up on the saleroom I was a little worried. Luckily the auction house did a fairly terrible job of cataloguing.
