VECTIS AUCTION - Thursday 26th September

[UKS]

I missed an Banamamaman last auction or the one before - I bid. The system said I was winning. It said I won. I hadn't. Boo

Congratulations Steve, I hope that as pleased as you can be with the end result.
I too bid on a few items but was either outbid before or during the auction.
Well done to anyone that did get the items they were after.

There were some items I thought went for fair prices (unusual for a Vectis auction), but glad a lot of your stuff went for good money, Steve. I managed to nab to the two items I had on my list; a couple of Rebel Commando MOCs to add to my focus.

Rather frustrating Vectis are still seemingly having issues with their website. About 30 lots from the end of the auction I got booted off. I logged back in but could only visit the "watch live" page, not the "bid live" page on any browser. I'd be pissed off if that'd happened before the lots I was after came up.

If you notice in time ring them straight away, as it might take a few minutes but they will try and put you on phone bidding. It happened with me. I missed a few 12 backs when they updated the site, but was on phone for the 20 backs. And gained a bonus Chewbacca the next day. But it is totally gutting if you have been online for most of the day waiting for the lots to come up.

Where you watching/ logged in on only 1 device ?

Just spoke with Vectis and they are bringing my winning lots to Sandown Toy Fair in November to save on postage (plus I don't want to risk damage to bubbles in the post). If anyone else would like their lots picked up on their behalf I am happy to bring them to FF in December, if that helps anyone?

I won a 65a han solo but probably on reflection paid to much the overall condition looked great but in the description it did say sliced down the bubble so figure can probably be removed. Still it will display nice.

Make sure that they don't charge you anyway. I rang to say Rich would be collecting my win. A few hours later I got a text from DHL with delivery details and an email confirming £13 had been taken from my credit card.

Got sorted in the end but very annoying. Their website also says that I lost all my bids, despite them having automatically charged me and in the process of posting it! Definitely some issues this week.

Thanks Spoons. I think I'm ok, they haven't charged me for postage...yet! But they did charge my card within hours of my winning for the total of the lots. Not a massive issue but for all they know I was going to collect and pay cash. It would be better to give the buyer 24 hours to complete the sale in my opinion.

I've ended up winning both items I thought I had, so happy in the end. Certainly some issues though.

That's good, when I complained I asked to have instant payment unchecked so next time I should be able to pay after I've been notified I won something. Send them an email and change your payment preferences

Both my items arrived today, very fast shipping. They really have sorted the post auction service out I think. Very pleased indeed, thanks Vectis.

My item arrived today too, a day earlier than quoted with DPD. Think it is the fastest completion and postage I have had yet. Very well packaged as always ,and postage was less than I thought.
Thanks Vectis
