I think you're being a bit optimistic there, especially on the SAS stuff. What I'd advise is setting reserve prices for those figures you've mentioned, and then open the bidding an something like £10. That way if the bidding goes up to, say, £50 at close of auction you still have the option of not selling.

very optimistic on some of that stuff... a lot of it could be bought seprately for a lot lot less and when things are sold in bulk lots its rare you realise the full individual price...

I would go with what the Baron says, nobody touches sales that start off at high prices.
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

Hi People,

Well my estimates seem all wrong. If someone wishes to provide some more realistic offers to me i am happy to consider.

Would love to hear any bids for everything. This would include as stated before the dolphin figure, escape armour, wolverine, the hovercraft and water mocassin and the item i forgot to put in pics the dark blue cobra bunker with missle

Matt,

do as Jaye and the Baron said start each lot at a tenner, put a reserve on if need be. Then just sit back and watch.

People like Jaye and Baron have been collecting for years and have heaps of experience.
