hi fellas,,,

just wondering what people think the going rate of SS honor daggers are these days? i stumbled across this one and cant get over the bargain basement price,,,, might see if i can get 2 at this price...

http://auctionsitepreview.com/detail.asp?id=1

Pete, One like that looks to be about $120 to $150,000 IMO.
By the way, that photography looks familiar something I seen in So. Cal. oh well.
With 203 days to go and already over $855,000? With 7 bids! PLEASE!
I believe some of of have seen this dagger before. Any quesses?

-serge-

lol,,,,i assumed they would be around the 100k mark, but never in my wildest dreams would i have thought near a million!!!!!!!!!!!!! check out the customs dagger at the same site under the dagger category....

Shill bidding.

Serge, Shill bidding does have its consequences! The person Shill bidding would still be left having to pay the auction company's commision. I would hate to think what it would be at this level! Cheers! RG88

Now just where have I seen that pic before???
In fact still in the "Gallery"!!

Yes Seiler! You got it!

Railgun, That is true. Unless the owner of the dagger is the owner of the auction site.

-serge-

Well that is a bargain
Who is the owner of that site Serge ?
Rob.

What a friggin joke!

Rob, I don't know...yet. Perhaps we shall all know soon.

Found this on the contact-part of the site:

"This auction site is under construciton, and the auction items are not live."

Cheers,

Currently $855,000 plus 15% fee = $983, 250 !!!

Well we all know that Militaria is going for higher prices these days guys!

what a joke hey! so if the site is under construction are they just grabbing pics and placing them there? it seems strange as there is even a description to it if that is the case...
well, its a bargain at any rate!!!!! lol
hey there RG88,,, long time mate,, i will PM you.

SO why is everyone afraid to mentions Craig's name.

Yes Why? I can give you 20 threads WHY. But most of them are gone.
Because Tom IMO some will come it and say...I or You, are "bashing Craig again". But I really don't care anymore. Let the membership speak their minds.
These items are on Craig Gottlieb's "gallery" section. Appear to be his daggers or were.

"Bid early, Bid often"

-serge-

HA!
Well this is interesting!
The only two daggers on that site are pieces which were previously on Craig's site. Anyone heard from Craig? I am sure that he is furious about his pics. being stolen....right?

Its beyond strange...

This price is not strange , its BS !!

In browsing thru this site,ALL the items
listed/photo,s have previously been seen
on an other site (identified here)
A new venture???

Unfortunately it's a trend we are seeing. Last year a guy Ebayed an SS sword after pulling the pics off my site and removing the background. It's not the 1st time either. Most guys here know the "look" of the dealers pics so beware if the photos look too similar...

I have said several times that important items should be watermarked with the dealer's name.

Looking at that site and the time length and starting prices of the auctions, it looks like a spoof to me.

Dave

just spoke to craig to see if they were his pics, and if he knew they were using them. he let the photos be used for the programming of this site. but i still cant understand where the bids are coming from and how the price came to be...

Looking at that again, it appears to be a trial run of some auction software. The run times of the auctions are mostly ridiculous as are the prices.

Do anyone know who the site belongs to ?
