Moral to the story..always wait untill the very last seconds of the auction..a lesson I learnt the hard way too.

Yep..
Sometimes you've just got to let your head over rule-your heart & stick to your limit..it's bit like gambling, getting court up in the moment & over spending on what is after all, just a old toy.

Never bid in whole pounds either, go for things like £5.32 and so on you might beat the other bidder by pennies.

I forget his user id but he's a member here. Guy who sold me all my stands and is going to provide them for the shop. Nice figure too! I recently got one as part of a big lot.
