    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!!! :speechless: 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

    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!

    ... 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...

    Hallo Gents, :beer:

    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 :P

    Half a year ago I was bidding 1400 Euro on a bar and mini-chain (see pics) :speechless: 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 :speechless1:

    With regards, Komtur.

    How did CRAZY people get so much money to WASTE? :speechless:

    well, since this is an area I tend to watch very closely.

    I know that I am reguarly biding against several collectors

    who will pay anything to win if they decide they want it

    most of them only bid snipe, and only in the last 10 minutes

    I have watched what happens when 2 or more set

    outrageous bids planning on winning - even common items

    fortunately this type of collector tends to go away after a while

    unfortunately someone usually comes to take their place

    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. :speechless:

    My cat would KILL me if I went wild on this unnecessary stuff.
