I've always wondered where all the vintage SW has gone - Vectis has got it all!

 

[Robstyley]

I thought it was just a load of old modern tat :? Until I scrolled down a few pages. Looks like a lot of Moc, I think their estimates are way off for some of them.

Blimey, all sorts their! Even some MOTU MOC's! Don't forget everyone, add 25% to the hammer price.

They will go for a lot higher than the estimates - Well, they normally do. The only "modern retro" stuff I saw go for less, was some Transformer Headmaster and Targetmaster a couple of auctions ago, that didn't get anywhere near what they suggested.

I wonder why sellers are using Vectis over ebay. If a buyer is not happy can they return them like ebay allows?

Quite simply, prices at Vectis seem to be consistently at the upper end of the value spectrum. In many cases the prices go silly. So as a seller it seems to make financial sense. Unlike ebay however buyers cannot return items. Except for extreme cases of misrepresentation on behalf of the auction house it's a case of buyer beware. The onus is on the buyer to know what they are purchasing.

Oh, you'll never get a bargain at Vectis!
I've just put some silly low bids in and the website tells you you've bid too low and also tells you what price you need to bid to be the highest bidder and some of the items have already exceeded the estimates and there's still a month to go!
I remember buying a few bits a couple of years ago and going down to pick them up.
I probably payed over the odds once fees were added on but just got a bit caught up in the online auction.
Was disappointed when I got my hands on the figures, they had definitely glossed over the faults in their listings and I felt obliged to just pay for them and get the hell out of there.

 

[Grant_C]

A ton of quality.

Oh we'll you've got to be in it to win it as they say!

Same here One thing I was going for is already at stupid money- I bid over the odds for it and was outbid almost instantly.

 

[kvavik]

This will be a good one! Thanks for sharing!

 

[lee gray]

Too many times I look forward to watching these auctions live online, only to forget all about them till the day after, then seeing some things had gone cheaper than expected and think damn I could have bid on that.

Same here, I fear there's a few millionaires collecting vintage now.

 

[edd_jedi]

This auction looks like a collector selling up, anybody know who it is?
