Anyone else see the recent Palitoy vectis auctions?

anyone bid on anything?

Hi Gary

Yes I actually put a couple of bids on but no where near the final prices, a lot looked to have yellow bubbles, which I am not that keen on.

Did you?

I won the C3P0 removeable limbs.

Was shocked at the price some of those pieces reached!!!!!

 

[warrachuppin]

Do you think because it was a Vectis auction people got carried away?

 

[sith-smith]

I think people realised just how rare some of those pieces are and that may be there only chance.


No entirely certain how vectis works, but with a 20.5% on top of what you paid for the auction, some of those prices were very high

:shock:

Vectis?

 

[warrachuppin]

Yes that % on top was something to consider, I bet some people did not realise that.

Would be getting a bit of a shock :shock:

WOW 10K, they must be doing something right :shock:

It's the first time I've ever heard of them. :?

 

[kilroy]

never heard of vectis as well! i guess they're just more specialised into that, just like stanley gibbons for stamps.

Yeah, i also had a couple of watched items in their auctions but the 22.5% fee ontop of the price is way too high for me really. Thats scary!

 

[edd_jedi]

wow some scary prices there, £540 + 22% for FX7!

the luke bespib looks very mint, a bit too pricey for me though.

how do they get away with charging 22% on top, im sure normal sellers aren't allowed to do that? and what's a live auction?

 

[craignwo4life]

and what's a live auction?

I'm guessing it's in an auction house, maybe David Dickinson is a Star Wars collector!! 8)

And £600 for the WBG. total would be over £720!!!!

Stll, that's less than I paid for mine. :roll:
