Bryan Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 What would be a reasonable price? I know that CR is always overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 (edited) I hope they wil offer an discount, if you take a dozen. It is a collector's price or fancy price, I think this rare medals have no reasonable price. Edited April 1, 2006 by Alfred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 Well, I'd like to add that coming from an Imperial German collecting background and German/Austrian buying/selling for years now........... I continue to be utterly astounded at the pricing of some of these rarer Soviet era awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 The point being, R-A-R-E. I suppose if you want one then you simply have to pay what one costs.Luckily for me, my monastic "lifestyle" precludes palm of the hand sized purchases for the equivalent of a very nice recent used carbut for those with the will and the way,more power to them.I will gripe about overpriced common items (M1943 Red Banners for instance-- half a million awarded and without the scrap bullion excuse for the equally numerous Lenins of the same type), but this is not the sort of thing-- don't we all wish-- that just turns up on eBay for 20period00 National Currency Units.Well, not REAL ones anyway.Still, even as prices have skyrocketed, there is more than enough still within my improverished and yet sweaty grasp to keep me pleased and happy for the rest of my natural days without ever spending beyond three figures.It's all a matter of taste, as much as having spare palaces to store the stuff in. Me, I'd rather have a nice WW2 combat veteran's researched/researchable awardsthan a "tractor" Lenin or something like this that is insanely rarebut at any distance beyond the length of one's arms looks exactly like all the other almost 4 million same-same out there.There will always be incredibly expensive exotica.I'd be happier if the NON-exotica wasn't inappropriately expensive, too.There must be a market for such things, obviously in whatever passes as the "Collecting Jet Set"...but me?-- I'd rather "hang out" here with YOU guys!

Gerd Becker Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Though, a nice piece. I guess, i will never even handle one, but i am okay with that. Imagine, how many nice groups you could buy for 33k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 If it is possible, I would like to stick to my point .Please do! However, it won't make the price for this order lower than 20K in Moscow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerd Becker Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Thanks, Doc.Additionally the earlier ones doesn?t differ so much from later pieces in quality. This "Gosnak" is of couse a special case because of the construction.I have 5 or 6 Red Stars, earlier and later examples and i love every single one of them.I for one would be happy with a Red Star numbered under 50.000 and they are still affordable to buy.

NavyFCO Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I just saw Red Banner "2" number 2 yesterday. The price that the dealer wanted for it was about 9 times more than a normal one, but I was actually extremely tempted to buy it... after all, when are you ever going to find another like that? Ever??? That's one of the times when rarity outweights any kind of reasonable value...Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although not playing in your League, i have paid thrice the amount for an ORB lately, what i am normally willing to pay. It was something special and i just had to have it.So i guess, there will be someone out there, who just has to have a "Gosnak"-Red Star and will buy this for this price.Gerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris S Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Here's a few I picked up some years ago...not in the same league but still nice and early awards. I don't know if it is playing tricks (i.e they cost more so should look better) but these earlier wards seemed to have a far better enamel surfaces.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris S Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I found this Red Star as part of a group with docs...missing a few medals however...but at 50 dollars I could not complain, especially as his docs showed he was part of a penal Btn.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
