Please note….
While the main purpose of this site was founded on
education, over time I’ve had an ever-expanding list of items
available for sale, some of which fall in line with the ‘theme’
of this site in that they are higher ranks related. However, there are many other
quality items of original militaria available so please check the other
sections as you will find many items of interest.
Militaria For Sale
Contents:
Original Militaria
As this website has expanded and become more popular, I
have established a network with many long time, advanced and niche
collectors. As a result, many
high quality items come to me on consignment, most of which get listed here
for sale. If you are looking
for something specific, there is a chance that I may eventually locate it
for you through the collector market and help with a purchase. I try to keep prices as reasonable
as possible, given the current market, but the items are consignment and
prices are largely set by collectors, so they will vary. I do this for a hobby and the love
of ‘the hunt’, so I attempt to keep prices collector friendly
when possible. Please feel free to contact me if you are looking for something specific. Consigned items are always welcome,
as long as they are original and of high quality and condition. (see my Consignment page for details)
A note about Premium page items in which the prices are
not listed:
Many of the very rare and
personality items do not have a listed price. I do this for a couple of
reasons. First, many of these
pieces are very rare and seldom encountered….some practically
‘one of a kind’. As
a result, they don’t exactly have a market price…it is whatever
the owner of the piece wants to ask for it. Over the years for example, I have
had the same item from different consignors vary in price by
thousands. Had I posted the
prices, the highest price would then become ‘market’ thus
escalating the value of all other pieces into that range. It would eliminate the possibility
of similar pieces becoming available at a lower price to other
collectors. We’ve all
seen it happen at a show or during a conversation where a listed price on a
dealer site is discussed and now becomes the benchmark for all similar
pieces. I happen to still love
the hobby and am not necessarily thrilled with seeing the prices driven
ever higher. I still like to
find a good deal myself, and publishing premium prices that may have been
achieved on select pieces does not contribute to keeping prices reasonable
as a whole. That, I think we
can all agree on. Secondly,
with some of the very rare items both the seller and buyer would prefer the
price and their identities remain anonymous. We may not all be able to afford
some of these pieces, but we have to respect the wishes of those who can.
