I wouldn't say that this was a rip off as the items look pretty genuine to me.
About 6 months ago I sold a K+Q EKII and reconcilling packet on eBay - both items in MUCH better condition than these and I got $US250 for them.
I was expecting $US125 odd but a couple of guys in the last 10 minutes went nuts over the bidding and kept pushing the price up.
Not a lot the vendor can do under these circumstances but sit back in awe...
Regards ...

I didn't mean rip off as in fake item,i mean rip off as in "buy it now" price of ******163;150 with no bidding.Call me stupid and naive please but i think it's wrong to sell something to somebody knowing full well that it isn't worth that much,irrelevant of wether they are desperate collectors or stupid novices.We were all novices once and i would have been sick to the stomach if i'd bought a cross for ******163;150 when it's only worth ******163;60-******163;70 (site dealer)...It's unethical.We all help eachother out on this forum and it should be the same on the outside.

Hi Paul just like to say an EK in packet at shows sell for around £95 plus, depending on who you buy from. Not sticking up for the guy or girl because i too think its expensive, but dont you also have to pay committion to ebay for selling, please correct me if im wrong as i have never do it, plus P&P of course. But have to admit he sure made some money out of it. All the best

Interesting that the seller got away with showing the swastika in his offering. Ebay spies will usually catch that and pull the offering.
"Worth" or value is always in the eyes of the buyer. What you think is an outrageous price is often well-within someone elses budget. That's a dead horse.

Two days ago somebody bid ******163;68 for an "ost" medal...In that particular case it's the bidders own fault for not knowing exactly what he was buying.When i started the fascinating hobby of collecting 3rd Reich i made sure i did some research first.I read lots of books and watched a few sites to get a basic idea of value...If only people would do the same when starting off we could weed out the rip off merchants and keep the hobby free of extortion.
By the way,there's an EK2 mm 112 on ebay at the moment...I am not aware of "Argentor Werke Rust & Hetzel" as being EK makers....At least the price is ******163;60 "buy it now".
