    At the Very Least then, you should post Negative Feedback for the unscrupulous Seller who is currently enjoying spending your hard but honestly earned £200 that you'll never see again...

    If it were real, it would sell for an easy $25,000 - $35,000 with 1 phone call.
    Wow. How in the world did this hobby get like this? Unreal.

    Only £200? I wish I could afford to write off £200 just like that! If that was me I would be out for blood!

    How many mint wire Normandy camo SS helmets exist? The answer: None.
    So it's like any hobby. Supply. Demand. Condition. Provenance. Rarity.
    These add up to how the market sets a price in any collecting hobby.

    How much do you think a game worn hockey jersey to the player who scored the winning goal in the 72 Summit Series (Canada vs Russia) sold for? A few hundred thousand dollars, because there isn't another one. But you can buy a game worn jersey right now for $100.

    Not every helmet is worth that kind of money. But one-off rarities in any Militaria genre are worth a pile of money.

    You can buy a helmet for $100 if you want. But if you want what would arguably be the best helmet on the planet your going to have pay for it.

    Yeah I guess. I'm not griping, I'm just shocked. That helmet would be worth nearly a third of my house. I wish I had a dozen.

    If you had a dozen, they wouldn't be worth 35K each! Because you would have 12 of them available! lol

    True. And, since I'm too lazy to create multiple sales listings, I would only sell them as a set.

    I thing everyone of us has been burnt and it definatly makes you a better more careful buyer in the future. I have been done thats forsure and just about killed when a guy sold me a cheap ww1 grenade that turned out to be live . Police were watching him and he wanted it gone. I was pulling the pin, dropped it once but lucky for me the spring has seized up .

    That was a close call. I'm glad that spring was seized up. Did the police end up taking it to dispose of?
