Hi Vectis are very busy at the moment they have just had a couple of big auctions, invoices & packing take up a lot of their time plus they have started to sort out Decembers auctions. I have dealt with them for many years they seem to get a good price. Selling commission can be quite high if yo...

Hi all some very high prices I think they must be serious collectors I hope they are not putting their pensions in for investment. I managed to pick up two bits, Swamp Rat & Kennel Truck. I think a few cheapies went through but prices were quite strong Pete

Now down to the boxes it all depends on what the condition of the boxes were when you packed them away, handling them many times makes them go dirty its amazing what grease comes off your fingers, air condition...
