[QUOTE="stormcab, post: 375465, member: 6519"] Many items are going in the reverse direction. I had a big sale of graded MOC ROTJ & tri figures recently. About 1/3 went for more than expected, 1/3 for what I expected, and 1/3 for well under. For instance, an 80 grade Han Trench ROTJ sold for just £77. I paid £33 to get it graded. I've seen ungraded ones sell for the same and more. I paid £475 for a 75 graded R2 12 back earlier this year, and since, I saw one sell for under £300. I bought a 70 grade Jawa 12 back for £350, earlier again, then recently watch a 75 go for only £275. I also watched an 80 grade Palitoy AT-AT Comander go for £150 when I bought one for £250 earlier. I have several other examples. On the other side, I've won several items from Vectis that had previously gone for several hundred more. My bids were the lowest of all previous sales of the exact same thing, so win some lose some. I'd say the usual grails are holding their value, but everything else can be subjected to big fluctuations. Luke 12 backs were going mental earlier this year, and that 75 grade Takara for sale on this forum now for £875 would have been snapped up in minutes. It's still languishing there now. [/QUOTE]
