The gargamel lot? I was watching, it ended either at 350 0r 550 can't remember. I love that it has the gid pink thrashman in it. The Buto lot right after it went for 1300. I know some lucky bastard won the M1 LB Painted Yellow Matango lot for 225. :P So many insane deals to be had. Ebay is going to be really busy in the next month or so.

Morphy emails winners Monday so....

good luck on 267, cool toy

wait to see what the tin goes for tomorrow.


yeah, i can imagine the tin will be insane. i am only interested in 2 or 3 tin figures, but if i dont win them it won't bum me out.

my big wants were robo car and the buta lot. i have a few more i am crossing my fingers for, but i am stoked already. :D

I was good to go for my auction Lot 64 Shikaruna Poseidon but didn't need to bid as I placed a 300 absentee bid last night and it went for 250.


I hope it was you who won that, I stopped bidding after 275. :)

Negative. I just read the terms in the catalog and this is a non-reserve auction. The catalog states that in a non-reserve auction, the opening bid is usually 1/4 of the low estimate. Other than that, the high bid takes it even if it's a minimum bid.

Anyone know how much some of the vintage lots of Hawaii vinyls went for? When I figured out I could not bid online at work, I left some phone bids with them and then drove home to bid from there so I missed all of those auctions and would love to know if there were steals on those figures as well.

I'm frustrated I was unable to bid on lot # 1 - there were some killer Target Earth and Rainbow pieces in there easily exceeding the final price of $500.00.

I'm a little confused, the lot that I had absentee bidded on went for well under my max bid but it said it was "sold to the floor". Does this mean my bid won, basically I'm asking if absentee bids are seen as floor bids since Morphys actually bids for me? I should probably just wait for the confirm email instead of speculating.

I was watching that one too Ralph - but couldn't bid due to the firewall at work. I think it went for around $300.00 - pretty cheap for all that loot.

I don't know for sure but I'm guessing they are considered "floor bids" since they are placed on your behalf by a Morphy's rep.

My dad bids via absentee bidding on vintage toy train auctions all the time, and I believe when he wins it counts as 'floor' bids because it's he auctioneer representative bidding on your behalf at the actual event. Could be different for Morphy's I suppose, but that's just what I've seen.

i am pretty sure you are correct on that. from what i remember, when you place the absentee bid someone there bids for you up to your max (assuming you need to go that high). internet bids are the live bids coming in as people are watching the auction online.

Double darn - I was fancying the hedos. If we had known, we could have pooled our resources.

Next time (if we live long enough to see another collection like this on the block) :wink:

Wow now I'm really confused- I saw it end online at 250 at least that's what it said after last call.

Dumb question, but is there any way to find the final bid if you bid online beforehand? I couldn't watch the live auction.

I'm assuming what is shown as the high bid for that lot is the ending bid?

EDIT: To clarify, I mean the high bid shown on my bidder account (for only that auction).

I am intrigued myself. The actual auction results do not appear to be up online as yet.

we are all trying to figure the same thing out as well.
i think the only way to truly know is to watch the auction and scroll back through the bidding logs (but you can only scroll through ones you were actually watching)

where does it show the high bid at? is that under your account where it shows your bids at?
