How do you guy's see the prices and values of Pickelhaubes and Militaria in general at the moment? My impression is that prices are still fairly high and even increasing more than a little? But since the great British pound went 'tit's up' it is a bit hard to judge? Does 'ebay' give a fair impression of the market?
I stole this from another thread. From what I am seeing prices are coming down. The movement is slow and sporadic and does not always make sense. It is what economists call sticky prices with some of the high-end stuff sticking to old or higher prices.This is a really interesting topic though, and the manifestation I have seen is that some older collectors are liquidating. Each of those of course wants top dollar, but there does seem to be a lot of sellers and not as many buyers. The Europeans seem to have slowed a bit, if not quite a bit. I do not think that eBay gives an accurate picture. Those prices tend to be all over and quality is often reduced. However, the number of e-mails I get about this collector or that collector selling something has definitely increased.
