Re: $5,000

When the collection is small like now, I would buy several mid-range items then save for the high-end items. When the collection is larger, high-end items would be more appealing.

It means then that the one sitting for many months now at M*rk*v is now seriously underpriced, or that there is something wrong with it

Re: $5,000

There's lots of other expensive stuff floating around on the nj site. How about 165K for an RSFSR red banner?

It's amazing how the prices jump from one update to the next there. Some medals have literally doubled in price since the last time one was for sale.

Is this single website's price-gouging single-handedly raising market prices for everything?
