 Re: morphy auction ...you will want to read this
The question is did the seller make back all the money he paid out for all these "toys"?

Unfortunately I would imagine that the loss on new vinyls absorbed any excess on the tins and die-cast.

 Re: morphy auction ...you will want to read this
Congrats to Mark K on the Black King, that is a nice one.
And yes, I am the one to blame for the Peguira, I am surprised no one guessed. That said, the person who won the King Bockle for 2100 clearly got the best deal of the day. I won a few of the other Ultra Leo kaiju as well.

 Re: morphy auction ...you will want to read this
So were these lovely vintage pieces actually displayed, or just stored in the plastic bags?

That should have been disclosed. That factors into the value of the piece and whether certain collectors would even want the piece. I know I would have not been bidding on that black king which may have saved you money in the long run. Still a beautiful spray job.
