No. This seems to be a very uninteresting group. No one (else) should bid on it.

For some reason it always happens that just as I'm running short on cash... MULTIPLE great auctions just pop up out of nowhere. Like a law of nature :speechless:

Lot #323: Glory full cavalier set at a bargain estimate

Gentlemen,

have a look at lot #323.

That's the full cavalier set of comrade Maksim Konstantinovich Belishko (Максим Константинович Величко) with Glory 1cl s/n. 1091, Glory 2cl s/n. 27980 and Glory 3cl s/n. 66225.

I checked the serial numbers at "Mirnagrad" http://www.mirnagrad.ru/cgi-bin/ and the awards: http://www.mirnagrad.ru/cgi-bin/exinform.c...%ED%EE%E2%E8%F7

Well, the estimate price is about USD 12.000,- including buyers premium, British VAT and 5% extra tax.

O.K., it's a category 7 set, but 12k bucks that's far less, than for one single Glory 1cl at the market today .

Gentlemen, what's your opinion about the Glory-Trio at this auction ?

Best regards

Christian

Dear Bob,

I have seen, but the catalog isn't online yet .

3 big auctions within a few weeks ....

We will see, if the Russian collectors are influenced by the financial and stock market crisis .

Was just reading about a dutch millionaire who bought one of only 20 maybach convertibles recently. His response to the question whether he had doubts in buying due to the recent economic crisis: "it doesn't affected my spending habits the slightest bit"

We'll see...
