ccj Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 well, at least he DOES offer free shipping http://cgi.ebay.com/WW1-German-Navy-Medals...1QQcmdZViewItemDo you think he should try "BUY IT NOW" for $50,000.00? That's closer to what it's really worth... :speechless: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Well at least the seller got the name right. Maybe it's autographed on the back of the microscopic blurry photo. Lapke was a retired, recalled, re-retired mid-war Feuerwerkskapit?n-- that is, on his final post-war discharge, brevet Korvettenkapit?n.Of note to we Imperialoid "true Ccllectors" is his "combatant" EK and non-combatant Hindenburg-- secured during his 1914-16 (and then re-retired) service in an ammunition depot. Dirty, dangerous but conspicuously NON glamorous duty.No hope in knowing which clasp is on the Colonial Medal-- hey, why bother with GOOD pictures or actual information, right? Best estimate, I'd say, is this is a $2,000 group on a good day. More only to Russian mafia or truly truly demented German colonial collectors.Nice to have an active fantasy life though. Always helps in dark times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Well, it has been my observation that German eBay sellers have an excess of grandfathers.Normal human inhabitants of Planet Earth have, uh... TWO.They however appear to have many additional "spares" in Germany. :catjava: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian R Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Well at least the seller got the name right.Verifying his name will only make the price go up. Now it's going to go up to $80,000!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Slivin Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 More only to Russian mafia ...Even among Russian mafia there are no sick people. If it does not concern the Russian and Soviet awards.? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Well, it has been my observation that German eBay sellers have an excess of grandfathers.Normal human inhabitants of Planet Earth have, uh... TWO.They however appear to have many additional "spares" in Germany. Well, there was the semester when I had a student who had THREE grandmothers die in the same term, all interrupting exams and assignments. And all were legitimate.
