Mike K Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Hi,I'd been watching the auction and actually thought it went for a fair price. If you want a cheap cross, buy a dirt-common KO. If you are into uncommon/rare variants, any KMST variant would be near the top of the desirability list. I picked up an unmarked KMST example myself not so long ago for a bit under 300 Euro, and I thought that was a pretty good price.RegardsMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I know all about "variation" and "obscurity" collecting and have paid the freight accordingly when that "must have" piece came along... While i think that's a lot for this particular cross; I can certainly understand the whole "Need it Now" thing ;>) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike K Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Rick,I see maybe two or three crosses of this type (ie with "normal" pinback and fold-up catch lock) a year for sale on eBay (I don't recall seeing any on most dealer sites recently) - maybe one of the complex "clip-backs" and even less of the diskback KMSTs. I don't think it's a "need it now" thing, I think it's a rarity thing for advanced EK collectors. As a reference, the last KMST I remember Niemann selling was 440 Euro, probably a couple of years ago now (not that I look in every week any more). I've seen the clip-backs sell for US$1000. There is one type of diskback which I simply have not seen for sale recently at all - if one comes up it will go for big dollars - unless you have one you want to part with for a few hundred US$???RegardsMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Hi Mike, all sold off all my singles years back to pursue other things. Of course most of what I sold is now bringing 30% ++ more than I asked way back when. I agree, certainly not the easiest style to find. I've only seen one clip back one in the past year or so, but it was in the US and brought a bit less than they bring in Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
