Helmut Weitze Update

[Nigel N]

Once again Helmut Weitze has some really nice 57ers in this weeks update!!!!

The only problem with Weitze and his updates is his system of selling things.

It is 30+ years out of date.

With a response I got one time they just don't care.

You never know if you got the item and you have to pay up front.

Sure they refund your money if you lose out but that doesn't compensate for
changes in currency conversion.

You most always end up losing money on the deal.

That's the reason I no longer buy from this guy good 57'ers or not.

I'm the same way. I would like it but I thought you would beat me to it Wayne and I didn't want to lose the difference in money and not have that money for 4 days.

Nick and I are going back and forth on the RK KvK.

Anyone get the RK KvK?

Regards,
Rudy

I know you aren't a fan of his system Wayne, but I can only speak from my own experience, and I have never had a problem, in fact I have always found his service excellent.....
But anyway......
Heres a few of this week highlights for me
800 Silver KVK RK, Pinback Silesian Eagle, and a couple of nice medalbars...

His service is excellent I agree.

However his system of selling sucks!

I feel you there, Just got a 1st edition NSDAP Party book and I wanted to send it to my friend for his birthday in Alabama, they mailed it to Iowa and spelled the city wrong on the package. This was my first time buying from them, I hope it is better next time!

Hi,

I have built a pretty solid 57er collection without ever purchasing from him. It can be done, plenty of other options. I had a negative experience early on, and have never looked back!

Best,

Most of my collection has come from E-bay, rather than dealers, I have bought from him several times, and one of my favourites pieces of all time did come from Helmut........

Happy with Weitze, have bought a few items, always good feeling !

And yes, again a couple of nice items for sale on his last update - nothing for me though.

I ordered that numbered PAB soon after the update was online.

(It was only marked as on hold today, though. So far I didn't get the note that someone outdrew me, so I guess it is mine.)

I've been a customer of Weitze's for 15 years or so, and quite happy with them. Sure, having to find out that an apparently available item is already sold is obnoxious, but it has only happened to me a few times over the years.

Good luck with the numbered PAB...I hope you got it!!

I like the numbered PAB stickpin, but not that interested in the ribbon it's partnered up with

I just call and reserve what I want.... it is waaay easier
