ASA 50 from estand

For me, personally, I would return the item. I'm not going to drop 2700 on a bent badge. I would rather give 3500 for a pristine one.

I respect the veterans here but my opinion is that it will be difficult to resell that item in the future for what you paid for it. If you plan on keeping it for the long run then maybe it's worth it...but I don't usually drop that much money on an item that is bent....AND was not identified as such by the seller.

Good luck.

I completely agree

1) Not frosty

2) A bent badge is, IMO, worth less than an intact badge.

100% true ...condition is the most major factor for determination of price.

The price he paid for it is 2.400 USD. IMO the badge is worth every cent of it. It's true it's a bit bent. Perhaps I should have mentioned that but as strange as it may sound I didn't found that to be that much of an issue. I've had these kind of badges many times before and it's nothing unusual. I've never seen that as a price/value dropper like also many have mentioned here. In fact, I've seen some go for more because of "character", story etc. The badge is a Yugoslavian partisan war booty from May 45. However I can see the point for some wanting to pay more and collecting mint condition only badges. I have no problem with that and the first mail the buyer got from me was: if you are not satisfied, you can always return it. I don't mind. I will gladly put it back into my collection.

Hi fasol

...,..I agree with Tom D., Ivan B. and Explorer. Good badge. The scarcity of these, in my opinion, really is the benchmark for price. I do not believe a small imperfection like this should affect price.

My 2 centavos!

Hi,

2,400 = 2.000 euros is a fair price for this badge.
A lot of person prefere worn badges then mint badges.
