Guess the auction price for the Palitoy VCJ

[mr_palitoy]

So that auction starts at 10.30am on Thursday, not sure when the Palitoy VCJ will be up.

Are we going to do a book on how much it will go for?

My initial guess was £15k based on there only being a couple known to exist, not knowing about the bubble damage and not being entirely sure what the AFA 75 one sold for.

Given that we now think that 5/6 may exist, the bubble damage doesn't look that bad to make it much worse than a AFA 75, the AFA 75 one went in a private sale for a bit over
the failed £11.3k ebay auction, the number of collectors declaring themselves out due to provenance issues and the excellent publicity from Vectis most recently on BBC
breakfast, the Vectis estimate of between £6 and £8k, I'm going to revise my estimate on this to £10k. This is before any of the auction fees etc are taken off.

So here's the book:-

£619348 - Starzone
£28838 - Maulster79
£23000 - Jez
£20500 - theslider

Who's in?



Jason

 

[walkie]

go on then, i'll say £10,750

 

[Palifan]

I'll take a punt at 8877 GBP, I know there'll be at least one board member here who hopes it's closer to this amount than over 10K and best of luck to anyone making a bid on it. Such an amazing piece to own!

Ian

 

[itfciain]

A lot of hype but not sure this one is worth anywhere near what the other one sold for plus there are the auction fees to consider - so I am going 8000

 

[benny100]

I'm with Iain on this one, £8200

 

[Christian]

IMHO due to the excellent promo job done by Vectis (who doesn't now know this little beauty is available?) outweighs any doubts of provenance and the minor bubble damage and hence I'm going to say £14250.

The only thing that really frustates me though is that Kathy has it in a damn star case! I should have sent her one of my acrylic cases FOC!

Good luck to any bidders.
Regards,
Christian

:lol:

Lol Christian, you don't normally miss a trick !!!

I'm gonna go for £10800 before commission and the rest of it. Hopefully it goes for less and Nick grabs a bargain.

 

[timbo72]

Its like a lucky dip. Gonna say £9175

 

[jambobbyb]

Hmmm im in at £7900 its an amazing piece but i just cant see that many people in a position to duke 8k plus out on a Star Wars figure.

 

[Bramistuta25]

I think it will go to £12,500. Sorry Nick. Hope it doesn't.

Edit from £12,300 as I don't know if they go up in hundreds when you get past £10?

 

[fuzzybuzzytoys]

I think this is a more attractive piece than the one that went for £11k due to great marketing and less uncertainty about the piece itself so I'm going for 15k for FTW

 

[mr_palitoy]

Updated book to here. Prices ranging from £7900 to almost double that at £15000. Keep them coming!



Jason

 

[PGowdy]

£13,100

 

[Stargeezer]

I'll think 11700

 

[kieatky]

Think it's gonna go stupid due to all the publicity, I'll have a stupid guess and say £17500

 

[Mr-shifter]

I have been thinking about this. I recon the lower end of the scale. I will guess £8500

 

[jedi_masters]

O go on then, I'll guess £10,500.

 

[Jez]

I've been on a total losing streak with regards to competitions, and have generally been totally wrong, so I'll say £23,000 and hope that I'm way off.
Go for it Nick

 

[Richard_H]

I think most of the non-interested parties is BS so £17000

 

[mumbo]
