Good Lord ... is it the falling America Dollar causing this? Or has my collection suddenly increased in value by 50%????

I agree. This does seem a bit high. Although, I see that one has already been sold. There are several with this update.
Market is whatever someone might or is willing to pay. These, that are included in the update are the only 1st model S-boat badges in this sellers wares. So perhaps, yes, this is the market price and your badges have gone up in value.
Wonder what condition my badge would be listed as?

A rare Pokemon trading card sold for $22,000 in the past. Is a small piece of colored cardboard worth this much? Apparently to someone. Whatever the vast majority of sensible people think of it is apparently irrelevant. Only two people need to be happy -- the seller and the buyer.
And so it evolves into a hobby for the rich...

Maybe not rare but perhaps you can't them just "anywhere" anymore? If there are 10,000 thing-a-ma-jigs in existence and 19,999 people really like them and hold on to theirs like glue, then that last one is a really rare thing-a-ma-jig!

1st pattern are more rare and at least to me, more desirable due to the tombak version that isn't available in the 2nd model S-boat badge.
They are good examples listed, it will be interesting to see how long they take to sell.
I don't think it will be too long personally.
Daniel:
There was 3, 1st model S-boat badges in this update on page 3 was the example I was referring to showing already that it was sold.

Simple economics really...dealers will always push the boundries of price for they want to maximize profit...as long as someone out there is willing to pay, and it seems there always is, this will continue.
Cannot blame the dealers. The choice is with us the buyers, and there are always options if one is willing to be patient.

The crazy thing is ... with that dealer, those prices will stay firm like that for the next 2-3 years. Until inflation requires him to raise them even further ....
Smart business sense would be to sell more at less of a profit and keep items moving through his inventory (aka like his ex-partner Detlev).
