I realize that the price of EKs is getting a bit out of hand
but this is a little over the top

Cant blame the guy for trying

I sent him the following email:

"Hello,

The WW1 EK2(Iron Cross) is a very common medal, with over 5 million being awarded. These typically go for about 30-40 dollars. Maybe a little less in considering the condition of the piece you have for bid.

I am not interested in the piece, I am writing only as a courtesy.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me at wehrmachtsanitater@yahoo.com

Thanks
Paul"

Hello,

With all the research on the auction page you would think he is just looking for a sucker.

I'm afraid I agree with the seller here...

It's a true gem - and RARE! - as you can clearly tell from the photo....

You should see what he's charging for the ribbon...
