Bear Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hello Chris, The euro is killing me!!! I remember the good old days when I could buy overseas. That is gone!!! I'll pick up once in a while a document here in the states, but thats rare. If only 1 dollar = 1 euro... thanks. barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I remember to days of 2.25DM to the dollar. On my first trip to Germany in 2000 I paid 50DM for a room in Gunzenhasuen at the show. At that exchange rate it cost me $20.22. Last year when I went to same room was 48 euros which, at the time, was $67.23. So thing has tripled in price.

terry1956 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 hi, its not just the euro, its now the weak pound. high charges set by auction houses, some around 25% on the price plus 20% vat. and the number of reproductions up for sale. I have a very small colection of items, a few muskets, carbines swords and sabres. but would love a lot more, as i am sure we all would. michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Bates Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 For me the weak dollar/euro/pound is a godsend. I well remember the days when the AUD was 50 cents or less and as low as 33 pence. Now the wheel has turned and I can buy cognac rather more cheaply some win and some lose as the wheel spins. I don't mean to gloat but it has been a long time coming. As to auction houses, if your only recourse is to postal/online bids you are on a hiding to nothing. I just don't bother these days.
