Collectors often will sit on their items hoping for a big score; sometimes that day never comes.
A longtime collector died recently around my area, and his items were sold off at pennies on the dollar.
None of it went to other collectors from what I could tell, mostly local antique shop dealers.
Amongst the items? SS officers sword, SS full Rohm, 2 German crosses in silver and a complete A-SS tunic ( with original awards and insignia)as brought back from Occupied Germany in 1947.
The price for these items? $2,200.00
I kid you not.One man in attendance told me that it was the first time he could remember such items garnering little to no collector interest.This economy is tough.
