Collection Question

[miken]

Don't know if this is the right place to post this but here goes. I've been offered this collection. I have not seen it in person yet. Do you see any red flags? Price is kind of high.
Thanks
Mike

looks like nice original late war TK collar tabs, can zoom in the back detail? need to zoom in the pictures of the other tabs as well to confirm. but all looks mostly original.

All the SS stuff looks good to me. This GI must have been a Dachau pack rat, for sure!

Yes all the ss insignias looks fine including the sought after Denmark shields and Norway. Nice instant collection if you can purchase the group!

Thanks for the replies. Any idea what a collection like this is worth?

It is worth ca.$13 000

It is clearly a Dachau found along with some used stuff he has taken.

Cheers

...did I miss anything here? Were some CTs delated...?

[Horrido!]

I think $13,000 is way too much. I think it's worth $8k-$8.5k at the most. I figure there's about $7k in SS insignia in there.....and I don't know about the rest of it.

My shot in the dark guess is you probably get it for 500 to 1000 bucks..much more than that you might SCARE IT right out of your hands..Half the folks out there would have thrown the cigar box full of nazi patches right in the trash and not given it a second thought..You might ask them if they have a make you happy price with your offer written in you hand..telling them if your offer is more you will pay them that.. Some folks will want 100 bucks some people will want a million..A deal is where the 2 of you intercept and not necessarily what collectors values are... JMHO Billbert

7k in SS insignias ... is there any thing else in the lot that makes it so worth

Sorry, my estimation also included $500 for the gorget. Ok, so $6,000 to $6,500 for the SS insignia. Thinking it's worth anything less than that is unrealistic, in my opinion.

Looks like a nice original lot and I am sure you can make the money back by selling off the doubles. How much is the person asking for it?

[miken]

He told me its worth $1200.00 but he will take $6000.00. I haven't tried yet to get a better deal.
