Vatjan Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I cannot believe what I'm seeing no wonder you're shaking, just seeing these pix has me shaking also.WOWThese will be great additions to your collection Ed, congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 BTW, Ed, I hope you won't have any pb exporting these... I don't know what the regulations are in Mogolia, but... may seem like a lot of extremely valuable stuff for a customs officer... Ch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley1965 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Ed,Thanks for all of the pictures from your trip. Mongolia looks like a beautiful country. I loved the pics from the country side and the historical locations. For guys like me that is the closest I'd ever get to Mongolia. I hope that you had a GREAT trip.

Bob Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Very nice I am curious, what prices are being quoted for these in Mongolia (I recently had a Hero star offered to me for 25K USD).Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Yes, and that'll drive an inflationary effect on Mongolian awards I am sure... hold on tight!Expecially when supply is stagnant, the deluge from the bank -- coinciding with Bat's book and the influx of new collectors -- violated everything I learned in ECON 101 and prices didn't crash. Laws are now in force, skewed by the Internet.Mostly (with a sole major exception) everything I saw was common stuff, Polar Stars and a very few Combat Valors, and at "Alexei prices", ranging up to "Igor prices". Some admitted to having Sukhbaatars, but planned on holding onto them until prices rose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Would be nice if some of these "dealers" would join GMIC. Worst case, just to share their items which will surely help in connecting the dots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(perhaps even on consignment?). Seems like a lot of money stuck in inventory for this guy in a country where that kind of money can buy you a lot of other stuff...

Lukasz Gaszewski Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Really fantastic, Ed!!! I think I won't be far from the truth to say we all on this forum do envy you your trip. Lukasz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerd Becker Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I cannot believe, what i am seeing. Ed, i thought, you couldn?t top the first type Mongolian Hero, but you never fail to amaze me. WOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
