Hi Guys

is there something wrong with this helmet that no one wants to buy it ?

Nothing wrong with it at all , except the price and possibly the small size. Factor in the painful way the seller started far too high and has been constantly bumping the helmet over months and months ! Watching the price drop has been an exhausting process.

I agree with SMP.
The helmet is very nice, I like it, even it's not a big size (55).
IMO the price is still a little bit high..

Still a way to go before it reaches market value.

While I am no expert, the exterior textured paint and decal are identical to my M40 Luft. I always find the seller's postings and descriptions interesting, but as mentioned in this thread, seeing the asking price go from one extreme to another over a period of time suggests to me that the actual value of the item is a mystery to the seller. No offense to anyone, that is just my perception.

This periodic exercise by the owner reminds me of Chinese water torture. He starts with an unrealistically high price and then knocks it down a few dollars every now and then so that drip by drip, it drives everyone crazy. Virtually all of his posts, all of his contributions to this Forum, are knocking down his crazy high prices $50 or so from time to time. Then he stops (before reaching true market value). Months later he starts the process all over again. Very annoying.

That's a great comparison lol.

No fault of the seller's...but people aren't exactly standing in line to do bank transfers to Russia either

[SkaraBrae]

It started at $8500, now it's down to $6500, when it gets down to $4500 it will be about right. Another 5-6 months or so....

I know many people who will not do a bank transfer period. To me it is a very bad way to purchase something.

market price should around 5000 ? Its not my subject but i know it woud be a nice filler for my collection

A spanner bolt single decal will bring more that this one. I am not willing to fix an exact value until I see some close-ups of the liner band, the bolts, and the nuts. So far, based on the photos, it appears to have been apart.

You'd have to be out of your mind to send a bank transfer to Russia. unless your uncle is an FSB agent.

I think you already out of your mind, saying this...

Maybe. But not so far gone as to send $6500.00 to Russia by bank transfer with absolutely ZERO legal recourse if the seller just keeps the money and sends nothing. Unless your uncle is KSB.
