Why so expensive?

[Chris Boonzaier]

I was bidding on this, and I usually pay quite a bit above market.... but I still do not get why this shot sky high.....

Perhaps some people really wanted to make sure you wouldn't end up with the burden of having all the Leib Regiment related items

Das Alpenkorps war eine legendäre Truppe, die seines gleichen suchte. Schau Dir mal an, was die an höchster Front gegen Italien und auf dem Balkan geleistet hatten. Das waren Spezialisten und ich bin stolz, das auch das württembergische Gebirgsbataillon darunter war. Hieraus sind hervorragende Kommandeure entstanden wie Rommel.  Schörner war auch am Isonzo. Da konnten sich andere Armeen nur die Augen reiben....

Eine super Urkunde, ich hatte mal eine und habe diese dämlicherweise verkauft. Würde ich nicht wieder. Es gibt davon aber auch Kopien.

Sorry my english isn`t good enough.

Hi,

no problem, you can post in German,

I agree, a fine unit indeed, but I am still astounded by the price. I have 7-8 of these documents to the Leib Regt... observing the prices over the years my guess was it would go for EUR250-270 for the document and Militärpass... 2 guys must really have been desperate....

A couple of these bidders seem to be part of a handful of new collectors on the market that I have observed for the last few months on eBay, who are driving the prices for harder to get Imperial and Freikorps photos and documents to insane heights. The common element is that they seem to all have more money than sense.
