River97 Posted 23 May , 2010 Share Posted 23 May , 2010 Ah yes, another one to gasp at. I might go down to the local bookies and see what the odds are of that not selling. Cheers Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auchonvillerssomme Posted 23 May , 2010 Share Posted 23 May , 2010 Its not expensive if someone wants it. I don't see what the problem is. I wouldn't pay the price being asked for that medal but then I don't want it. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auchonvillerssomme Posted 23 May , 2010 Share Posted 23 May , 2010 Postage is a bit steep I must admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFT Posted 23 May , 2010 Share Posted 23 May , 2010 And not even 'Recorded Rign For', but then again that only covers up to £41.00 or thereabouts !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilbury Welsh Posted 23 May , 2010 Share Posted 23 May , 2010 There is more to this seller and the medal than meets the eye...

Nigel Marshall Posted 23 May , 2010 Share Posted 23 May , 2010 I'm not quite sure to make of that. An auction with this seller ended 15th May with a high bid of £101.51 It was then re-listed to end on 20th May with a starting price of £500.00, but attracted no bids. And now it is listed once more and he wants at least £6999.99 for it? As for postage, you'd need to sort something out with courier service, I think. Royal Mail Special Delivery covers up to £500.00 only. Of course, if he was West Yorkshire Regiment, I'd be in there like a rat up a drainpipe.

Peter kia between £25 to £40 if the date is not recognised as a prised date, although all dates should mean the same price is reached, alas they are not as 1st july 16 will reach way over £100 Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
27thBN Posted 23 May , 2010 Share Posted 23 May , 2010 If you want it for family reasons its priceless as such to complete a family group but still !! MC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenchtrotter Posted 23 May , 2010 Share Posted 23 May , 2010 Even if family...at £7000 he can keep. Likewise I cant work the game out. £100 was a good price! TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Marshall Posted 23 May , 2010 Share Posted 23 May , 2010 At the end of the day, doesn't eBay charge a fee based; 1.) On the Reserve/First bid price, or 2.) On price realised? This game of his must be costing him money, so why bother? There is a dead mans memory being played with here. It's not pushing my happy buttons.

auchonvillerssomme Posted 23 May , 2010 Share Posted 23 May , 2010 Maybe he made a mistake on the listing and it should be £6.99 with a buy it now of £7.99, altho if it were I would guess there are some here who would say it was a memory being sold for to low a price - or would they?

Nigel Marshall Posted 23 May , 2010 Share Posted 23 May , 2010 In the context of three auctions almost back to back, I think there is something going on here akin to a game of sorts. Given that the first of these auctions brought just over £100, he is unlikely to have wanted to relist it with buy it now price under a tenner. If it had been a stand alone auction instead of being one in a chain I think the possibility of a mistake could have been right but in this case I think not. Tell you what though, it's lovely outside, and I wouldn't have bid for the medal at normal prices, so I'll leave this here. Cheers, Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilEvans Posted 23 May , 2010 Share Posted 23 May , 2010 I think i'd rather buy 700 Victory medals at £10 each than 7k for that one. What can 7k buy you in the world of medals? I remember a 'VC' winners death plaque selling for 2k. Although i can't vouch for its authenticity. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
