Not my field, but I hope it doesn't get split up

It's already split by the simple fact that the IDIOT has listed every single piece independantly.

I'm with you Stogie - what a shame!

It's already split by the simple fact that the IDIOT has listed every single piece independantly.

[Daniel Cole]

That is a real shame.

[Jacky]

He even "cares" about the group being split up...

"bitte beachten Sie auch die anderen Orden und Urkunden des Major Becker"

He asks the viewers to look also at the other orders and certificates of the major......

If he really cared about it, he would have listed it as one group!

There are at least two of us from here trying to get it all. Unfortunately this just plays into the hands of the seller and confirms his strategy.

So the idiot can charge much more

I think there are too many pieces you have to control, if you try to unite the group again.

It`s a shame

greetings eitze

I have a simple solution:

I will not be blackmailed into pouring money into a stooge's pockets as a consequence of his idiotically ripping apart a group that has remained intact for almost a century.

Far easier to just say: this group has already been completely destroyed, no longer exists, is therefore not worth worrying over let alone rewarding moron extrortion, and go on about our lives.

@Rick-sad,but true.....

[Stogieman]

I've spent a lot of money and time over the years trying to re-unite split groups, split aviation photo albums etc. The only incident I've seen that was worse than this was a German eBay seller who tore apart an aviation photo album. He cut out the pictures from the labeled pages.... ruining pix on the other side, tearing and ruining some of the images and then throwing away the pages!!! So much for history....

[Dave Danner]

There was also a few weeks ago a very nice group of medals, ribbon bars (wartime and postwar) and documents for a Saxe-Coburg enlisted soldier that were all sold separately. As near as I can tell from tracking the auctions, none of the items went to the same buyers, so that group is destroyed.

[dond]

Another group gone, and for crazy money.

[Steve K.]

It sold for more than I ever imagined! Broken up now....what a shame.

[eitze]

Unfortunately it will be a goog example for future sellers, who don`t care about history
