Opinions needed on several 57-items

[Matthieu]

The Seller of this RK has still a few more items for sale from him.

Yep ... unfortunately, he thinks he struck gold with this RK and is now asking a hefty price.
I tried negotiating with him, but he wont budge ... neither will I .

Jeez .... have you all looked at eBay lately .... you can get all the 57er badges it seems, but they're all modern made sh*t .

[Nigel N]

You are right Mathijs, theres one guy who must be selling his entire collection, but, like you said, there are'nt many early ones, i think the 2nd class Olympic decoration might be earlier, being rivetted. There are still some very rare badges, numbered PAB's, etc. so i think they'll all sell, and some may go for good money!!
Imagine if they'd all been early ones.........icon_notworthy.gif

You are right Nigel.
That is an old collection what is sold now. All the cherries from that collection Christian showed us in the GCA

Aaaah!! I see, thanks Rudiger, it makes sense now, it seemed funny to me why someone would have a big collection like this, but NO early stuff!!
I guess these are the "leftovers"

I'm working on acquiring a few of these "leftovers." While obviously modern, some are rare enough that I want them. There is, from what I can tell from the pics received from this seller, a very interesting para badge that I hope to show you soon.

Go get 'em Mike! They may be later pieces, but this guy has some uber rarities!!
If i was a badge guy, i might put a bid on some of these "leftovers" too

And then you think you've seen it all .... even for a named piece, no way that will sell for 2500 USD . Good estimate on that one, buddy.

Thanks Nigel! I feel the seller has a few pieces worth having. They're good enough for my collection anyway.

Wow Mathijs! That is a ridiculous price! The nerve some sellers have!

Hells Bells!!! What a price!!!!
It looks to be a nice RK, and i'm sure the provenance is good, but still, thats waaaay too much!!
Investment piece......eusa_liar.gif I think it will be a long time before this piece turns a profit

[LuckyLuudje]

Is this for real

If this is sold, I will trow (almost) all my 57's on the market and quit my job

[Matthieu]

Same chap just keeps going ... very nice early stuff, but at those prices .

Sent him PM with a fair offer ( based on dealer price ) on one of his items ... am curious what he will say.

[Matthieu]

Have you guys seen the prices on eBay these days for 57ers ... if early items, I can understand, but even for modern made crap ????

Jeez ...... any idiot thinks yesterdays made badge is worth a pretty penny and the guys are bidding on it as well !!!!

[Nigel N]
