    2. Buying and selling amongst those who appreciate the efforts of those who earned the awards is one thing. Vermin which hoard to make a quick buck, with no regard or care for the heroes, is another-a DISGRACE to those who earned the awards.

      Sounds like you despise the same people who you probably do business with to acquire your awards. There's a word for that... :rolleyes:

    4. Indeed a lot was UNSOLD... but at least I got some goodies!

      Finally got my hands on the very rare small order of remembrance. Unfortunately did not win the lot with the gold prototype of the same.

      Not me winning it, but 3.000 Euro for a gold first class IKOM Skanderbeg is a lot of money :speechless:

      I'm happy if Albanian items continue to stay out of the limelight... always on the lookout for numbered class 3 skanderbegs to hopefully research someday!

    5. What's still for sale is priced high... sellers market apparently.

    6. I guess "wait and see" is the only thing we can do.

      Prices are rising as is... so I'd be surprised if research doesn't add to that. Soviet awards also aren't all for snipers in stalingrad who escaped via a submarine etc. etc. so I'm not going to be too picky... research is better than no research:)

    7. I don't know about those Soyombo prices though Bob.. That one on collectrussia hasn't gone anywhere in a month or so and with the current financial issues who knows.

      There has to be a limit to what people will pay for these things, Rare they are, but how many dedicated Mongolian collectors are out there?

      A handfull perhaps

      Makes me getting one seem less likely though!!

      Cheers

      JC

      Perhaps, but this is the 3rd one he has (i think) in 12 months time... prices are jacked up almost 100% each time and after a few months they do sell.

      May be very few Mongolia collectors... but there's also not that much material to collect of course! :) Plus I do suspect Mongolia is a natural fringe area of collecting for Soviet collectors of which there are many. Also, the potential "price explosion" from research hasn't even materialized yet. One wonders also how many of the collectors for these high end items are so affected by the financial crisis that it really impacts their spending pattern...
