    Russians only put up the pressure BEFORE the event. Once the auction happens they stop all the contacts and act as if it never existed. If the auction yields to their demands they try to air that fact inside the country as loud and as long as possible. They make sure that public in Russia only hears about successful attempts.

    The reason for all this BS is simple: 2007 happens to be in election year in Russia, so it all is just politics and PR...

    Any possibility of getting a downloadable PDF version of the upcoming auction for the members of this forum?

    20 euros for a catalogue which might not contain anything I'm inclined to bid on is a bit excessive for my bank account unfortunaly regardless of the fact that I'm sure it'll be a good reference source :unsure:

    Hello,

    Thank you for your interest - I am the owner of the abovementioned auction. Please feel free to send any questions regarding the forthcoming auction.

    Catalogues were sent to those who have pre-ordered them through our web site or at the shows we have been spreading leaflets. Let me know if you want .pdf catalogue. I will send that by email if needed (10 Megabytes). We did a lot of work with the auction and decided to give our first catalogue out free. Medalhouse Ltd. is new company just for the auctions, but is owned by me / Finnmedals Intl., which I have had for over ten years.

    Prices ARE NOT starting prices, but ESTIMATE prices. There is a reserve price on each item, but that is lower than the lowest estimate.

    It was nice to meet many of you at the SOS!

    With best regards,

    Jani

    well, if you put in a request for a catalog

    you'll be taken to a link where for 20 euro

    you can buy one - I can not however

    find any link for a pdf version of the catalog

    they did send me a postcard for

    the march auction

    I do not know if this means a catalog

    will eventually arrive

    as nice as printed catalogs are

    especially now that so many are in color

    I'd rather not purchase them

    there is only so much storage I have,

    but storage for pdf's - that's different

    Jani

    Interesting, for me *.net came up as "under construction" but I found it through *.com. In any case . . . niccceeeeee.

    Effective buyer's price

    Dear Jani,

    many thanks for your pdf :cheers: .

    Question about the final hammer prices: Is it the hammer price + 18 % buyers premium + 19 % (German) VAT in total :unsure: ? So a item of EUR 1.000,- would cost EUR 1.404,20 :unsure: ?

    Who exactly got the K-19-Ushi :unsure: ? I guess, that the comrade in question played also a role in that great movie.

    Best regards :beer:

    I have asked my friend to tell more about K-19 Ushi.

    Buyers premium is altogether approximately 21% (18+ German VAT). That is the same as most of the big auction houses use in Germany. Germany has actually two different VAT's - the other one is used in case the item will be declared out of the EU. All the details can be found from terms & conditions in the catalog.

    Dear Jani,

    many thanks for your clarification - 21 % is moderate & normal :cheers: .

    I myself don't have the cash in the moment, for spending EUR 10.000,- or more on another Ushi for my collection ;) . But it might be interesting for our GMIC-community, to know, who of the K-19-crew received that Ushi :D .

    Your catalog is - concerning Soviet/Russian items - is really impressive and the starting prices are rather moderate :cheers: .

    And watch those estimates ZOOM, Christian. Good for Jani (and friends), bad for us of moderate means (a.k.a. the Phaleristic Proletariat).

    Dear Ed,

    you are right, we - state or army paid - historians belong to the Phaleristic Proletariat, in comparison to the numerous "more than rich" Russian collectors, who have their residences in Vienna and in the Austrian Alps ;) .

    But have a look at Jani's two "Kosovo-Medals" - the are numbered and their starting prices are really moderate :D .

    Best regards :beer:
