I see they have a auction on May 1st. by Roy Hardin in PA. This live auction has Britain's, Imperial, and other sets. Some K&C glossy and other sets.

Unfortunately even though there are some great sets up for auction, the 18% Buyer's Fee (although common in the United Kingdom) is too rich for my blood. This is particularly true with the current state of the economy, being retired and on fixed income. For those of you who may be able to indulge at least there isn't a VAT tax in the United States, not yet! Judging from the results of the most recent auctions, it will probably be a fairly pricey affair. I think I can be content with the current part of my collection which are vintage W. Britains.

Nice cabinets and collection Arnhemjim. I did not read about the 18% buyers fee but I did not plan to bid anyway. I also liked you full size figures and weapons. Leadmen

I think this is the same auction Norman Joplin had posted about here. If you're interested in K & C, please note Louis' comments.

If you read the "fine print" I beleive the buyer's fee is 18% plus an additional 3% if you buy via the online site, so total then is 21% buyers fee.
For a $200 purchase that is an additional $42.00. Ouch!
