[Marc Garlasco]

OK, so I was on Ebay - it was a slow day at work. But OVER $200 for an EK2!?!? Am I missing something?

Well definitely a rare breed ... after all it says:

1. Proper two pieces soldered onto a steel center.
2. The ribbon ring is stamped 27 for maker Schenkl.

Whats the chances of finding a Steel Centered, maker marked "Schenkl" EK2?

Darrell - I didn't even see that! Be the first on your block!

I'll pass, those look like some determined bidders!

[Darrell]

CrankyFrank .... you related to Mr.Heukemes by chance?

What's the big deal? A packeted K&Q with ribbon went for that on the e-stand not long ago. Wasn't in bad shape, but wasn't mint either.

[Marc Garlasco]

I didn't buy that one either...and there is no packet here. No biggie - just noting that it is high...

And what about the price of GAS?

[Ralph A]

Maybe....

the bidders think its a schinkel-form...

[Darrell]

No doubt that this one is fine ... but the description indicates that the seller knows very little about EK2s.

I would think anything over $100-120 is quite high for a type in this condition myself

I noted the price of that one aswell... If you really want one I suppose you'll pay what you have even if there are plenty about.

I would think that anyone that's had an EK for more than 3-5 years ... this is the case as well

And what about the price of GAS?

Garret, you should visit holland and I´m pretty sure you´ll NEVER complain about that again...

Without defending the price USD 200.00 for an EK2, but it seems most collectors are out after cheap items instead of original ones.
In a world full of ****ing fakes, originals will get more and more expensive.
The day a seller doesn´t get his items sold, the prices will stop rising.
