Is his name Jan? And also should I negotiate for the Prussian haube?
Yes, his name is Jan. He used to advertise pickelhaubes on our local vending site, Marktplaats, but stopped doing so.Prussian Garde said:Is his name Jan? And also should I negotiate for the Prussian haube?

My goal is to open a shop one day and end up as successful as stores like regimentals. Thank you guys so much for the help, you helped me dodge quite a bullet! On another note, I got a guy trying to sell me a Prussian helmet for 400, I don’t know if I should negotiate or just reject it. It’s a little beat up with some repairs but it’s not the worst thing that I’ve seen. Here it is.

I agree with Patrick on this PG. Just keep asking, we all made mistakes, so did I, several times.. And like Patrick I was a lot older than you, even now I sometimes check my books, or this forum to be sure.chinstrap said:Hi Jackson,
If I remember correctly, you must be by far the youngest member of the forum at 14 or 15. I would imagine that most members of this forum in their early years of collecting learnt the hard way, making mistakes with purchases, either by not doing enough research or buying on impulse rather than miss an opportunity. I know I did this with my very first pickelhaube, and I was a lot older than you at the time. Do your research, ask for opinions and advice at the right time, and enjoy your collecting.
All the best
Patrick
