I always get nervous looking at other members auction buys. I get a feeling that I may open one that I bid way up in a war with someone. I did not recognize any of those and you got great prices on most. I did see the western train but originally it had a much higher asking price, Maybe it got re-listed

My sons said it looks like your army is honoring the new ship that is about to be slid into the ocean, you know how they hit it with the bottle and it slides on tracks into the water

They were very impressed

do you mind if I post some of your pictures directly into the tread ? no worries and I understand if its a "no" but everyone would love to see them direct

Amd, when you are looking at your Photobucket pictures. When each individual picture is showing to the right you will see an area that said "Image Link" click on it to expose all the codes. Now look for the code that is titled "IMG code" when you click on it it should automatically say in yellow "copied" if not just highlight it blue and comand copy it. Then take that info into PF and paste it to your text box.

Now I am looking on your site so I am not able to edit or re-size your pictures. Since you are logged into your account you should be able to see small examples of all your pictures. when you move your cursor over a picture it should also show all the link codes with a drop down box under each one also to save time.

If this does not make any sense let me know and I will gladly explain further in English.

The codes you are looking for look like this when you paste them in PF text box

i broke the link with a red "." in the img area so it would not show the picture but the text example.

3-cowboys and indians, back then i was inspired to keep my cowboys, but i dont think i'll keep them.. but still like them!!
(http://i1309.photobucket.com/albums/s630/Amdnrao/F8322DA9-36FF-443F-A30A-40D17B05261F-918-00000024D0702F85.jpg)

 (http://i1309.photobucket.com/albums/s630/Amdnrao/1B826191-1454-475C-86B9-694425ADCACE-918-00000024C9C6C2B3.jpg)

5-medieval civilians... the figures from the bakery, the tailor house, etc are in this lot, lot this medieval and more is always better
(http://i1309.photobucket.com/albums/s630/Amdnrao/2D662857-2DB4-4CFD-B2B0-C9DF65F9230D-918-00000024C635BEB4.jpg)

Title: Re: last acquisitions!!!
Post by: Amd on November 26, 2012, 18:46:56
the rest of the lot is nice but not as nice...

fishermens and divers... classic city life like winter and train ones, and i think from the circus (?) guns, some weird things and random figures...


(http://i1309.photobucket.com/albums/s630/Amdnrao/ABD139ED-25D9-482E-86AD-ED870A3A82CE-918-00000024C3306B0B.jpg)

Thats why we call them "bums" around here  ;) It can be a pain to find any part of that bum in the US, or at least for a reasonable price. If you look at auction history you can see how expensive they can get  8}
Title: Re: last acquisitions!!!
Post by: Bolingbroke on November 30, 2012, 15:03:13
There's certain rare-ish figures that sometimes come half-complete and you think 'ill buy that and complete him later' but it never works - there are some parts that are just too rare. like the yellow feather from the highwayman. half of those 3633s you see on ebay don't have the correct  feather - and they still go for a lot of money. Funnily enough i thought of you yesterday ras - i was browsing a masters of the universe forum and a good 90 % of the (US) members were moaning about the price of the figures - that made me think of you  :P

wow! is this from the auction of the vietnam vet's collection from that live auction company? i didn't bid on any of that but was very curious. i really was shocked that the lots didn't go higher. i thought perhaps the photos didn't do the collection justice and maybe the war vet component of their marketing hurt rather than helped the sale. that said, i feel like there was at least 1 lot that seemed to be misrepresented. can't remember now which. congratulations!
