Vectis Auction Tomorrow

[monkey_roo]

Anyone having a look at the auction tomorrow - I've got one bit in (on some Attack of the Clones basic figures) - but am not raising my offer so I expect to get outbid tomorrow at some point. A few other nice bits in there - but maybe not as much as usual.

The Battle Armour Skeletor and Panthor pack caught my eye, that's a very tempting item. AFA U80, no Star Wars for me this time. Fingers crossed for you @monkey_roo ! Saying that I'm still looking, about half way through looking.

Yes I have too, (mainly Modern) but like you will expect to be out bid.
We will see…

Don't forget Oberon auctions on Wednesday.

All the vintage seems to have low estimates and low or no bids - a sign of the market conditions, or is Nicks auction just not well subscribed to?

As I'm sure you are aware the vintage market is very flat/slow/people selling up/falling/crisis selling….choose your own out of that lot, but quality items will always sell.

Lots of comments on FB selling posts saying "need to sell due to bills etc." it's a very different market from 3-5 years ago, lots of "Celebrity Sellers" gone quiet…it's not a job I'd want to be doing nowadays!

Oberon is not as well subscribed to as say Vectis, but it's building support now, or so it seems to me.
It's the place to find a bargain rather than Vectis (if there is such a thing) but that opportunity is slowly slipping away.

Never seen Oberon before - had a look and on the working assumption I won't win today - will certainly check it out tomorrow - certainly seems more conservative on the valuations and bids than Vectis.

Outbid already
Currently 140 + fees for 44 AOTC figures - not upping my bid so will be interested to see what they go for in the end.
