I was watching this and noticed it only went for £600 odd quid, a year or so ago I would have expected that to fetch nearly double. A good time to be buying I guess. Not such a good time to be selling!

Nice to see a realistic price for once!

I'm currently off-loading some loose figures, I've set prices (it means higher fees) at what I think is a reasonable price to pay now and not dissimilar in most cases to what I would have payed 18 months- a year ago.

I've paired up a lot of figures, ie: a Luke Farmboy and Princess Leia, both with original weapons etc, in c9 condition, I payed £3 for each at the time but that was a lucky find, I've got a bid currently at £16.50 with over a day to go (and personaly I would have payed £10 each at the time).

They are also listed to finish around pay day for most, peope have itchy wallets...

Anyway, I think I'll soon be able to tell whether prices are dropping on this line of collecting, I think if most common figures dont have weapons and are in c7 or less condition, you may as well throw them in the bin....

I guess it depends what you're selling. People who can afford to buy top end MOCs probably aren't going to run out of money/work any time soon. Ask Sultan Gary :lol:
