I need to make an offer on this papers lot... HELP!

Hey guys!

I am being asked to make a fair offer on this lot... this is way out of my area so I figured it couldn't hurt to ask here.

Anyone have an idea of what a fair offer would be for these?

Thanks in advance and sorry for the lousy pictures. I didn't take them.

The naval installation security-guard ID is interesting, the other items such as the Arbeitsbuch, the discharge paper and the doctor's note are common...I would offer $60.00 and see what happens...just my opinion! Glenn

Thanks gang!

The seller was really talking up how rare the metal case was... I think I'll pass.

The metal cases are not quite as rare as some believe. Although they aren't very common items, one can find various forms of documentation with them given time. If the seller was quoting silly money, steer clear. As has already been said above, there is nothing extraordinary on offer, but nice items nonetheless.

Regards,

Carl

p.s. Don't be too surprised if they are offered to you again, for less.

It might be rare but it doesn't necessarily mean desireable and valuable.

Some items are fairly common but command a high price due to desireability. Other, rarer items don't equate to value because no-one wants them, or their niche on the market is limited such as the above.
