Produced in numbers that there isn't the demand for any longer. Liquidating collections isn't easy.

If I pick up the pieces that I want for a reasonable price. Then the excess I'll offload for whatever it fetches.

Bought from Vectis over many years (not just toy soldiers). Including a large glass display cabinet from one auction. Their packaging/transport arrangements has always been first class. So goes some way to mitigating the buyers premium that gets charged. Downside of the good packaging is that...

% that auction house adds on top of the winning bid, i.e. their commission. As opposed to % of selling price.

Should be something for everyone. As many lots will be multiple pieces combined together. Xmas may well have come early. :wink2:

Lot of activity under seller UKBULKSALES on Ebay UK. Same company that handled the offloading of K&C's Crimean range. Plenty of War of the Nile series figures being traded through for anyone that's interested. Many at less than £10.

Heard that they'd be representing Empire Military Miniatures at shows from this June. Looking tonight no sign of a functioning website which came as a surprise.

Duly reprimanded. :salute:: Order on it's way. {sm4}

I knew the writing was on the wall some years back at a London TS fair. When I overheard a respectable dealer say our customers buy a set for the collection, a set for their pension fund , a set to speculate with. As the Hunt brothers found to their cost. Eventually you yourself become the...

Just this minute read the news. Backs my hunch from when you launched EMM that you'd create a business to weather the storm. :salute:: I'll be contacting you later in in the week with an order. {sm4} Won't stop me nagging you about the next ECW pieces though.{sm0}

Hopefully positive news Malcolm. :eek:

Since the Euro has been in existance. £ has traded in a band of €1.04 to €1.78. Currency markets move every day. Always have done. All this excitement is totally overdone.

Just crashed? Wasn't so long ago was $2.10 to a £1.

On no expensive product will I commit to buying without having seen it first. Without a showroom the worm will eventually have to turn.

Does Ford sell 5 year old cars as new at current prices?

Most manufacturers and retailers clear old stock with promotional activity. Not increase the price even further every year. Something which I agree is head scratching. Money tied up in obsolete/slow moving stock is the downfall of many a retailer.

The value of the stock in the accounts will be far lower than retail price as based on cost. Possibly there's stock under reservation that hasn't been paid for yet. Though one assumes the vast majority has been. I was thinking of the sheer number of sets that were carried in stock. The...

The fact that K&C UK disappeared overnight doesn't suggest that it was a planned exit. As the UK importer how much stock was left sitting in the warehouse. Must be a considerable amount. Enough to severely disrupt the market if liquidated. I recall when the same happened to Britains and pieces...

The wider decline of the hobby has been well discussed for many years. Noticeable how the number of collectors is literally gradually dying out.

I've added 4 sets of Conte's 3 dead GI's along with the GI command set to the BOSS sets. Looking to add some explosion effects then cover the terrain base in sand to finish it off. As you say very gritty indeed. Having stood on the beach myself. A tribute to those who gave their lives for...
