News of another auction, this time one that took place at VECTIS in Stockton-on-Tees which saw 600 items up for auction and ultimately bringing in £177,000. There were some incredible pieces on sale including a vinyl cape Jawa, a Meccano Boba Fett and plenty more besides.
Pre-sale estimates had put Tuesday’s collection at fetching between £94,000 and £120,000. A rare vinyl-caped Jawa figurine attracted the highest bid, selling at £9,180 after fees.
Vectis said it had three different terminals running at the same time, one for UK buyers, one for US and Canadian buyers, and the third for the rest of the world.
A Meccano Luke Skywalker model was estimated to fetch £2,000 but sold for £7,595, and other big sellers included a Meccano Boba Fett at £8,330.
