I hope I dont win all the lots I m bidding on, 2k in the hole.
Good find, not to sure if its 100% legit. Pick up is fairly local.

the shop it refers to is/was in Stratford Upon Avon - I believe they have gone out of business

[insurance_jon]

it's legit, i'm using it for some commercial stuff, just saw the model stuff and thought you guys from the modelling section would appreciate it

[insurance_jon]

ps - watch out for buyers premiums and vat, they differ on each lot

[x5x3]

just looking at some of the other auctions - is £100K a good deal for a McLaren MP4-12C?

[insurance_jon]

interesting one that. that whole auction is our local scrap metal merchant assetts after the vat man got hol of him about his outstandin £22m vat bill

22M owed in VAT - so 100M turnover?

maybe we should all be in scrap?

Lot 41 is currently a good price for the tamiya 1/12 carrera GT should be about £400 normally

Managed to pick up four lots, came to a fairly reasonnable 400 quid incuding the 38% taxes, considering at 6 am this morning I was 2.5k in bids.

Cant wait to play

[insurance_jon]

[bullitinhead]

Two lots of revell, airfix and tamiya plans an car plastic kits x22, one lot of 2wd rc off road cars x3 , and a mixed lot of rc x5 and static display cars x3.

Had allok at that, too rich for me, starting bid and reserves way to high, although I did try to find a radio alarm clock, Ive always wanted one but couldnt find one, might have another look later.

I messed up today and was not online - got lucky with one of the Graham Farish lots but lost the rest - probably for the best though!

[bullitinhead]

Got the invoice today, so looks like I won what I won. So all good

Just got to collect now.

just been to collect my single lot - easy to find but there are only two people fetching, had people with 20 lots each in front of me so make sure you are prepared for a 30 min wait in the cold
