    It's funny, I was going to post that exact same thing.
    Honestly, that place is out of control a little.

    Plus, that's an EK made in the 1960s. It's identical to this one of mine:



    Someone ought to tell them. It makes them seem a little silly. I know one of the guys who runs that site is an active member of the forum.
    Thanks for posting.

      One look around that site and you will see many head scratching prices, although this is one of the worst ones yet. I've had more than one say about the prices here in the past. This is about a $130 piece at best. Who are they hoping to sell this to? Anyone with even a modicum of knowledge about Iron Crosses will laugh out loud at this. So what are they hoping will happen? A sucker to come along and buy this. I know many will say it's a free market etc, but when a price reaches this point, I think they are trying to take advantage and rip people off. I could not sell someone this item for this price, and they have solicited it at this price. Shame on them. I know this is a cosignment operation, but this makes me sick.

          Yeah, $1150.00, right?

          They should at least state that the $626.00 EK1 was made in the '60s. They can price it however they wish, I suppose, but it's very misleading to omit this information.

              They are fishing for fools who have more dollars than sense.

                    That particular 60's "piece" is more rare than a WO. Hence the price. Antique Biker jewelry is quite collectible.

                      There will always be those silly folks that really pay a high price for an education.

                        Barnum was right.

                        Unfortunately, too often the victims of such scams are new collectors who, as a result,
                        become disenchanted and are lost forever.
