25 year oakleaf spange $$$

I was looking through Kia Winkler's site and came upon this Jubileespange.

Is it me or does 258.00€ seam kind of pricey?

[streptile]

That is nuts!

I also happen to know this exact type, and it's not one of the finest-made or most detailed examples out there. It's also some kind of alloy that doesn't patina well. It's on a cheap-o jubilee cross I own.

Plus Helmut Weitze has had a box of 'em for sale (E 100,- a pop if I recall) for years, unused.

I know what you mean.
I much prefer this style. I was able to pick this one up last year for $30 .
That's about 20.19€ compared to 285€. I guess times are tough and profits have to be made somewhere.

It's prices like this that are slowly killing the hobby. These things aren't worth anywhere near that.

Greg, he doesn't want 258 Euro.....That is already very expensive.

The price is 285 Euro!

[Montgomery Burns]

in general almost all prices on that site are way to high ,

he's the most expensive dealer out there

and the peace's he's selling are not that extra ordinary that you wood want them at all costs

well ,,,,nothing you can do,,, just don't buy there .

there are also normally priced items out there ,,,only not on his site

I think the ones Weitze had for sale were cheaper than that Trevor. But €285!! I know you pay top dollar at a dealers, but that's mind boggling for a set of these by any dealers standards
