Vectis 25th September

It depends on how busy the p&p department r and if there is a back log etc. Prices r fair I guess but u won't get any bargains.
Indeed there is a considerable chunk to pay on top of the hammer price :!: Min usual 24% max 27% of the hammer price :!:

If you bid through Invaluable it's 30% incl VAT

Thanks guys, wow that's a big chunk to add on!

I'm a Vectus virgin, but going to have a go this time. I remember reading about people waiting ages for their items to arrive. Doesn't bother me but just wandering how long the items usually take and what are the postage fees like?

Also do you have to pay commission to Vectus on top of the hammer price?

Yes you do. I regularly see people bidding at various auctions who clearly have no idea they will have to pay 20% + commission on the hammer price and pay way over the odds for even common items. I usually research all the lots I'm interested in before hand to have a good idea of current market value and then take approx 24% off that price to give me a rough top bid. Of course auction fever kicks in sometimes and you can't let an item pass by. :wink:

I thought it was 30% regardless because of Vectis fees? if I go to the auction house and bid in person is it cheaper?

Thanks Chris, I've already slapped a load of bids on. Won't be going any higher though. Not suprised they turn over £6 million a year! :lol:

I've been outbid on all of my bids already! Good luck with your bids.

Vectis is 25% inc vat regardless of how you bid, except for live internet bidding via invaluable which is 30% inc vat.

I got a feeling a lot of the items will go above current market value. That said, there are a few items/variants that don't pop up all the time so values can be hard to gauge. Usually with auctions like this from Vectis and the like, with a good dollop of vintage, prices go pretty high. Auction fever, fear of missing out, Vectis premium, or something similar takes hold. Will be interesting to see the results.

Don't get me wrong...I'm really pleased that I've been outbid!!!
I put them on after a few drinks late one night and looked at them the next day and thought...Sh*t, if I win all of those I'll need to rob a bank! :lol:
There's something about auctions that brings out the fever in people, sooo easy to bet carried away.

I will be envious of whoever steals this one away. She's a rare one for sure.

That's exactly how I go about working out a top bid. Your hammer price needs to be substantially lower than market value to come out with a fair price.

Well, I'm popping my Vectis cherry today, sitting here casually hoping I get outbid on all but one or two items so I don't have to have that conversation with the Mrs and or bank manager :lol:

I was going to say the same thing. I would of pulled the trigger if I had the money.

Proof cards look they're going to a floor bidder
