sure he is a member on here, tbh the postage probably wont be a million miles away from that due to the weight

There's a Scout Walker for sale on eBay at the mo and it's literally around the corner from me. Seller wants £9 postage and I asked if I could collect, as its so close. Reply: 'can't offer local collection'. I wonder why...

Royal mail postage is steep and if that's a 3mm thick acrylic case around an ATAT box I can image it weighs a bit. So plus extra to avoid damage to the case massive box loads of packaging

I hope your question has been answered in this thread. Next time, it may be polite to message the seller instead of bashing on here.

That went cheap imo and the postage with Parcel Farce won't be far off the £35, especially as ebay and paypal will likely have 14% between them

Yeah with the total weight of that with the acrylic case it would be a hefty shipping cost if taken to the post office, I took a parcel there the other week and because it was over 2kg it had to go by ParcelForce and cost over £13, it was only a fairly small box too... :? rip off!

If I split the contents into 2 lighter boxes i'd have been able to send both off for about £9 total. :|

The ledy Leia you have for sale is a cracking piece but I was surprised to see all of your AT-AT's go after you put them all together. Have you finished with vintage SW and moved onto something else or just changed focus Mike?

Someone got a great deal on the hammer price, the acrylic case is worth about £100. :shock:

probably sounds high as its listed as economy delivery, which to me sounds like hermes. Parceforce would charge less than £20 to send that with insurance of £500.

Just downsizing as I'm moving home, I had to pick 1 out of my 3 focuses to keep so decided to stay with Yak Face and sell off the AT-AT and 12" Leia's.

I just sent the AT-AT to Germany, I quoted £73.50 P&P, cost me £68 plus about a tenners worth of bubble wrap :lol:

I've still got the 3 Kenner USA AT-ATs to list, just haven't got around to taking pictures yet.

Cheers, Mike

That must have been hard to decide which focus to keep but you'll free up a lot of space now and also have a good chunk of change. It's always hard downsizing (I'm just about to start down that route myself), but we all have to do things like this from time to time. I'm sure you'll be happy with your Yak Face collection for years to come and all the best with letting the last pieces go and the move.
