The squid head is getting pulled.

Have been through the rest of Marks lots. Kathy is also going to pull the Palitoy Lobot 45c which looks like a toni too. The rest are ok in my opinion.

Cheers Jason

I'll be honest - and this might be a bit controversial - but I have a feeling that Vectis are deliberately vague with their pictures - they will tell you it is a time constraint - but hell if I can take 8 pictures of each loose figure I list on eBay then they should be able to do it with these

I have to agree. You can be pretty mechanical about taking large numbers of photos of similar items - once the lightbox is set up you can take hundreds very quickly.

100% true imo.

They're decent enough and have been hoovering up Star Wars stock recently so other auction houses have been left behind.

I think they've got much better with packing over time, stuff I've had from them has always been well packed. I'm pretty sure they post internationally but you could email them to make sure. Packing isn't cheap but it's not ridiculous, same with fees (pretty much same as all other auction houses). Perhaps if you know someone who's going to the auction they could mail to you directly? That would save some money.

Don't think you can pay with paypal though.

I would have to agree that extra photos should be a must. Front, back, both sides, top and bottom. Spending an extra couple of minutes doing that would put buyers' minds at ease, and they would get higher prices because the buyer knows exactly what they are getting. Everyone has their own idea of excellent condition, so you highlight the item with pictures and let that do the talking instead. I understand there is a lot to get through, but these opportunities don't come along often, so why not take a little extra time with each listings?

Ive often though that Iain. For a company to be selling such pieces (some mega rare ) then more photos would help. Nothing against Vectis, but they seem to be a very poorly run company and the emphasis looks to be on maximum profit and not customer satisfaction.

I agree I saw some of the auctions today and I miss more pictures of the items
