Soviet October revolution prices

[bifter]

Hello everyone!

For many years i have searched & trawled through catalogues & webpages, but never have i, ever, been fortunate enough to come across an available October Revolution Order in the U.K.!!! All i have ever managed to get is a low quality (but WITH hot enamel!!!!) copy! As i do not have a suitable bank account for PayPal, i have to rely on debit card or postal orders or cheques; this means that i am unable to buy from outside the U.K..

If there is anyone out there with a shop like Collect Russia here in the U.K., where are you?

Can anyone help me find one?

I can really recommend getting a suitable bank and PayPal account or something else to be able to buy on eBay. October Revolutions are really affordable on eBay lately! Reliable dealers are very scarce and you will always pay more than you will on eBay.

asking suitable and correct photos to an ebay dealer is often a struggle...

I have bought a lot on e-bay via postal order & cheque; some e-bay dealers are okay; but a lot are low down villains! I have had cheap copies sent to me when the photos shown were of good origionals! I have had postal orders cashed, & not received the goods; only to be told that "your parcel must be lost in the system!!!!! Get in touch with the post office!!!!!! I sent it insured!!!!!" But no evidence of insured postage ever shows up!! I try to avoid e-bay unless i know the dealer through experience. Last time, i payed for insured postage for a 50 pounds medal & it arrived via normal post! I shall not buy from that monkey again.

I purchase from fellow collectors when I can, dealers are always the last resort. Paypal is a must these days for Internet purchases, you have protection with paypal when using their service. Beware of sending bank transfers to unknown people, there is allot of scams going on at the moment. And once your money arrives in their account you can not get it back if the deal goes wrong! Cheers, Kai

Recently, i have been buying a lot from fellow G.M.I.C.members. I have great hope that most of us are true gentlemen, & will not fail to please. I am saddened by the news regarding 'Warlord"; as a child, my mother used to take his books out of the library for me to swot over. I now own most of them too. I grew up seeing him as a kind of figure to aspire to. I suppose we all do things to let others down at some point in our lives!
