Sometimes have a peep at whats been sold at auctions houses. And Look what I have found a Yakety Yak - http://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/cottees-auctions-limited/catalogue-id-2841051/lot-11727400

Could go cheap guys! :)
 
i'm not 100% on that Pete. It does advertise two delivery companies on the website so I bet you would be able to sort something out.

That estimate seems very strange - they clearly have no idea of the value of the yak (I think he is referred to as "a sand people") and yet they still value a box of beaters to be £30ish. I know it's only an estimate but still.
 
No Pete. You can either bid at the auction or leave a absentee bid and most do auctionneers post. ( check their website for this and comission/VAT)
 
Dont blame you guys! 8) You an get soe really bargains off there. A MIB Jabba the hutt set went for £20 a few years ago :shock: The only problem was when I noticed it the auction had already taken ****in place :twisted: .

I have got a minty Yak but could luck to you guys!
 
Thank you kind sir!! I'm moving house at the moment also... I'm looking forward to getting the figures out and back on display :D

I think this starwars obsession has taken over.
 
lol! This reminds me of a job lot that was sold as a small auction house two years ago- there was some awesome stuff including a MIB Droids A Wing and just about every other large ship MIB. A box of 4-500 figures (With at least a complete set of Last 17 figures), the weapons completely filled a tesco shopping bag- there must have been £500 worth of staffs weapons etc.
The estimates were so low- 30-50 for the figures, and £150 for the MIB stuff.

Any way I thought I was going to get a bargain! We drove down to the Reading and stayed the night over- I couldnt believe it when I viewed it- stuffed under a table and looked like no one had gone through it. I was so excited. Then the bidding started. There were six or seven people after each lot. The figures went for £600, the boxed vehicles sold for £800.
I was so so so gutted. Went back to work and then chopped three fingers off the next day. Pretty disapointing week!! :lol:

So what I am rambling at is there are always a lot of toy dealers who roughly know the value of these figures. If its on the internet you stand zero chance of a bargain. If its not on the net you stand a 5% chance of a bargain.

A bit extreme hacking your fingers off just cos you didn't win! :wink:
 
God i forgot about this. I actually think with the £15 postage and 3% charge you're not actually getting that good a deal. Most of the figures are beaters. The Yak is worth 50 and the rest combined probably 20-30. Beater figures are a very tough sell these day.
