I paid 130 US equivalent for everything but the Civil War medal which was 3.00. I did a lot better on the King Alfonso pair, also in the forum. The same guy also has a decent Naval Order of Merit that I believe dates to the turn of the century, but he is wise to me and asking way too much.

Bloody heck you did well. I am really, really jealous!

Ulsterman, thanks, I've come up with a few nuggets there. I skipped on a beautiful, early valor, Italian miniature group - didn't have any money with me and it was gone the next day. And, there have been other near misses, but now I carry about 1500 RON (500 US) whenever I hit up the flea market - just in case.
