Chris Boonzaier Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Think this guy knew where it was going?? http://www.ebay.de/itm/Raritat-Urkunde-Ritterkreuz-1-Klasse-Stern-von-Brabant-OU-Ernst-Ludwig-/170980360113?pt=Antiquarische_B%C3%BCcher&hash=item27cf393fb1
redeagleorder Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I've never seen a single award certificate even approach that price!
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 1, 2013 Author Posted February 1, 2013 seeing his feedback, I would only have bought it if could fetch it myself!!
VtwinVince Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I was watching that one with some amazement. I know it's rare, and the Hessen collectors are crazy, but this is a ridiculous price.
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 1, 2013 Author Posted February 1, 2013 I am guessing it was a clientel who are not the average medal collector.... maybe a medical institution or something?
IrishGunner Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 I am guessing it was a clientel who are not the average medal collector.... maybe a medical institution or something? Don't you mean "mental institution"?
Motorhead Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 The seller is registered at the SDA forum and said he just wanted "to get an idea" how much it is worth! One of the bidders is a friend of him-I don't like that and i'n glad that he's not active in the EK section.Otherwise I would thing about putting him on ignore... Micha
christerd Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Very very strange .... but the seller needs to pay a big selling fee to Ebay I suppose ? Christer
VtwinVince Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Somebody should give the Pied Piper of Hameln a call, because I smell a huge ebay-rat.
Deruelle Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Impressive, probably a fool. With such price the other seller will have a lot of ideas to grow up the price ! Christophe
Motorhead Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 I don't like this-my consequence would be to ignore this ass**le for the rest of his life! Micha
saschaw Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 One of the bidders is a friend of him-I don't like that and i'n glad that he's not active in the EK section.Otherwise I would thing about putting him on ignore... I'm no more believing him one word and assume it wasn't just one friend of him... Imperial documents don't fetch these prices. Never. In 2012, the document for the one and only Prussian Military Merit cross awarded for China was sold on ebay - for less than half of this money. And this MVK document is of so much higher interest to the collecting world. This Hassian ebay auction was a farce.
paul wood Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I do know a collector who has a pretty impressive array of the Star of Brabant (including 1st Class). I also know he is not short of a pfennig or two, maybe he decided he wished to marry his 1st class with the award document (and maybe someone else knew he did). Paul
dond Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 And now for sale here: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Originale-Urkunde-Ritterkreuz-1-Klasse-Stern-von-Brabant-OU-Ernst-Ludwig-/321067164595?pt=Militaria&hash=item4ac11823b3#ht_599wt_1337
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 4, 2013 Author Posted February 4, 2013 " Achtung Wieder eingestellt wegen Spaß Bieter." haha actually, you could bid 20 000, refuse to pay, and ebay will just send you a warning....
redeagleorder Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Sure I would trust a guy with 0 feedback for a document which has just previously sold for 11600 euro. What sane reason is there not to?!
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 4, 2013 Author Posted February 4, 2013 May be a good idea to ask him what the rest of the stuff is and how much he wants for that?
