Claudio Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Dear forumites,As I am known to be a freak medal bar collector I followed the auction of the here under shown medal bar... it reached Eur 1'121!!! Wow... If I add the single value of all medals including also the miniatures I don't even arrive on Eur 500.-. I bid 500.- Euros and was almost worried to get it, because I thought I overbid! Right now I am quite releaved not to have followed this madness, although it's really a nice small un-identfiable bar...Your takes on it???Ciao,Claudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 Here is the reverse with a nice label on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I had my eyes on this one as well. The matching unofficial date bar in enamel on both bars was extremely interesting. Beyond this, I cannot explain the fantastic rise by over 600- Euro in the bidding in the last 10 minutes other than the fact that at least two people wanted this bar very, very much!

Claudio Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 ... and there even no enameled order on this bar! It could have been a bar of a NCO or an Officer, but no way to tell. Almost USD 2'000.- for something like, it's waaaay to much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev in Deva Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Hallo Gents, I too was watching this one, out of curiosity, and as Stogieman noted, if there are two+ people who desire it bad enough then it will be reflected in a bidding war, after all thats the purpose of an auction Kevin in Deva.

Komtur Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 if there are two+ people who desire it bad enough then it will be reflectedin a bidding war, after all thats the purpose of an auction Kevin in Deva. Half a year ago I was bidding 1400 Euro on a bar and mini-chain (see pics) There was a bill to the mini-chain giving a name of a Dr. to this bar. But also with that identification I was sure to get this bar. It goes to another maniac for 1.500 Euro + 22% = 1.830 Euro With regards, Komtur.

redcross Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 well, since this is an area I tend to watch very closely.I know that I am reguarly biding against several collectorswho will pay anything to win if they decide they want itmost of them only bid snipe, and only in the last 10 minutesI have watched what happens when 2 or more setoutrageous bids planning on winning - even common itemsfortunately this type of collector tends to go away after a whileunfortunately someone usually comes to take their place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I still can't figure out how they ever MADE so much money they can SQUANDER it so frivoluously. Most clinically insane rich people are under court-appointed conservatorships. My cat would KILL me if I went wild on this unnecessary stuff.
