Vectis have an auction archive and its guide is much better than ebay which is very hit and miss and does not give you a true guide due to poor sellers who offer fuzzy pictures and one line descriptions. A "good condition" in the mind of a ebay seller is "bad condition" in the mind of an ebay buyer! And the ebay guide only covers the last 2-3 weeks or so. The Vectis auction archive covers 10 or more years and they auction off probably 1500 Dublo items a year!
At least at Vectis collectors are bidding on items that they have actually seen first hand and Vectis do have a large following of collectors.
