NSDAP party pins for sale

[dolchmann07]

Hello Forum Members,
I might be breaking the rules here, but I need people's opinions and I am isolated here in my hometown. I used to have at least 25 friends that I could get opinions from. But anyway, they are ALL gone.
I have a small website, my goals are to be fair, make sure everything is what I say it is and be fair on price, the main thing is too treat people the way I would expect to be treated.
I recently posted MANY very nice NSDAP party pins ans expected a flood of buyers. I do not smell bad (at least I think I do not) and I ALWAYS give great customer service, but I have only had 1 responce.
Would you guys take a look at my site and see if you can tell me what I am doing wrong. Please look at the Enamel section and Tinnie sections first.

Some of these party pins are world class, and I do not think any site anywhere has the selection I have.
I am a big boy, I can take ANY criticism and would APPRECIATE it.

Regarding the pins , I think it's just price. Your best items in some other areas have already been snagged, and those prices I felt were bargains, and might have brought more...so you had a lot of nice Japanese items, of course they were also snagged quickly, so that's all I could say about the reasons on the enamels, but many wish they had known about the site previously before the bUlk of the best things were scored. Your collection was awesome in many regards....but now I just think you might want to do more research to see what other dealers are asking for the same maker marked badges, and price yours accordingly. Then they will sell. (Also some areas of the hobby are mushy price wise at the moment)Thanks for mentioning your site. I would suggest you post your party pins on James nobles thread here for future reference even if sold... I hope all is well with you and yours..seems like you are cashing in on a fine accumulation it took decades to locate and scoop. I bet some of the stories of how and where you found some of the items and who had them would be really interesting to hear about your past friends likely knew regarding the story's Behind the items....

I am not selling off my collection, I feel likie I have just started my collection, I am just weeding out, and 18 of the best party pins came from a collection I bought. (I kept what I needed for my collection) I still have 120+ party pins, I enjoy them too much to sell them off. If I was elling off my collection I would not do it like this.
I thank you for your help. So you think it is prices.
I thought they were very fair. But I REALLY APPRECIATE your honest opinion.

All are very nice enamel pins. But I guess it is the price. I think higher prices for seldom seen variants are not general accepted like it is with combat awards. For many people a party pin is just a party pin and they expect a "common " price
Many German pickers ask still the same price for a common party pin and a much rarer slogan badge.


I also collect party pins etc as a occupational therapy between larger purchases but of course I try to find them on cheap prices.

Nice badges! But I fully agree with Wim and the others here. You hardly get more than 35 - 50 Euro for a well-conditioned "standard" party badge in Austria.

Kind regards, Peter

All the enamels are priced at dealer + from my perspective.

Hello, At this point I would consider myself a dealer. I have only been buying and selling since 1974. I have a retail location, I sell junk on FLEABAY and I have people I buy for. I have done 20 years at least of shows. Many people on this forum have bought from me. I have a guarantee and honor it. I just think I might of missed a market correction, beecause I was not looking for more material.
You guys are showing me this..... And I thank You, Jack

When I use the reference 'priced to dealer plus' I'm suggesting that the pricing is greater than dealer ask - which is already higher than typical reasonable selling prices...
