IrishGunner Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Pretty price for a beauty piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deruelle Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 What a price, I though that the iron cross is sold with the paper, but not. A little overprice for me. that's my opinion. Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Chris, Looks like there were three other guys that thought more of this than you did! I gotta admit, I don't get it. Sure, it's pretty and all, but over 400 Euro....please. Somebody is totally oblivious to coming financial crisis.

militaria0815 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 In my eyes this extraordinary document is doubtless worth this price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe campbell Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 can't say much bad about someone who pays top dollar for this... not likely to get his money back real soon, but then that's not why he he bought it. joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 In my eyes this extraordinary document is doubtless worth this price. I dont know, the design is great, but there are better. The unit is not great and it was not for any of the major/Captivating battles. The sole factor is the nice design. Up until now, I would have guestimated the Price at about EUR200-250. However, there is a slight upward trend in EK doc prices. Apparently there are a new lot of collectors of these, unfortunately I have not been able to contact them.

Chip Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Let's face it Chris, everybody likes these, especially the Schmuck documents. Like you I prefer the ones from specific units and specific battles, but for the most part, collectors are looking at the graphics and that makes for a much wider audience.

Chip Agreed, and I have some fantastic Schmuck Docs... But I think 1-2 years ago noone would have dreamed of these ever reaching a price like this... Maybe... slowly... EK docs are coming of age... I hoped that would only happen once I had them all ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Chris, That's what I say about shoulder straps. The prices have gotten ungodly, especially for the nice ones. ....and I don't have them all yet!!! Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
