Nice auction last night

[pizzathehutt]

I sold a complete 96 figure set for £750 in 2008.

Don't know why but I always imagine 2008 as feeling like it was only 2 or 3 years back, I was reading this and thinking wow prices have gone up fast in such a short amount of time, but that is actually a decade ago now.... :? :?:

Time goes too quick

yeah 2004-2008 you could chuck £50 on a yak on ebay and win it no problem

I'm guessing that was prob the same case with other expensive figures too like Luke Stormtrooper and Tri Logo Fett? ( in complete mint condition too )

I wish I could go back :lol:

Tri-logo fetts were about £30, Luke stormtrooper £40-60 but you could pick up plenty of just the figure for about £15

barada, imperial gunner and imperial dignitary were going for £17-£21

They must have been in fantastic condition to realise that price back then?!?

They were all immaculate.

Certainly didn't hang around long did they.
Can you imagine the cost nowadays!

 

[Dannywhiteley]

Probably lookin at nearly £800 for just the R2 sabre, Yak and Leia Organa these days. :lol:

 

[Mini99]

I don't think that you would get those three for £800 today, if you did I think you would think that you had a result.

Not playing the "two sheds" game but I got the same price in 1996. I can't remember how many "variants" were in there but I don't think it was anymore than a small/large head han, blond/brown hair Luke FB and maybe Bespin an long with a couple of different Leia Bespins. No blue snag and no VCJ. Sold them to a junk/antique shop in Liverpool who used to sell loose figures at way above market rate. Paid for a road trip to the States

 

[Mini99]

These stories really put past and present prices in to perspective.
A US road trip out of plastic figures, who would have thought.

Forget the figures, your road trip to the states makes me thing about my twin centre trip to Canada in 99 for £330!! Couldn't get flights for that now

 

[Pomse2001]

I can't see any rare or expensive parts in that lot. Maybe buyer have asked for better pictures that was only mailed to him and he saw a rare figure
or weapon variant that we can't see :? or maybe it is just again a buyer who paid to much :roll:
