It must be made of solid gold.......

Same seller has an early CMP Ford up plus a Humber, but I can't say the prices do much for me.

The open cab Dodge has a one piece screen, and the closed cab one has a civilian cab, so I'd expect the seller isn't particularly knowledgeable about these things.

I've seen parabikes go for a couple of hundred pounds, but anyone asking thousands needs a reality check methinks.

Hi,

This is side effect of explosion of the WWII reenacting. I saw British WWII para helmet for $6,000.00 so I am not surprised by para bike for $3,000.00.

Do not ask what is cost of the original US WWII M1C para helmet, not to mention earlier M2 model.:eek:


Best regards

i bet if i ask you 10 years ago you would have had a problem with $200.000 shermans
$22,000 MBs
$5,000 german para helmets
and so on...
but all the stuff is going up and fast!!!!
it may not be made out of gold but i bet he gets his price. remember lots of reeinactors dont have a place to put a CMP, or a MB. this would be great fro them.

Yes, and so on...

$8,500 -- normal e-Bay price for the original near mint WWII dated Denison Smock

$8,000 to 14,000 -- normal price for US WWII para helmets which in 1950s were everywhere for $6,00 to 7,00.

All shares and bonds are nothing if we compare the investment in the militaria at right time and at right place.

Best regards

Looks like I'm under insured
 
At those prices glad we kept all the stuff I bought surplus as a kid. But your right, what is any antique vehicle worth? What someone else is willing to pay. The same must be true of any "collectables". E-bay just opens up the market of those someones who are willing to pay.

its worth what the market will bear
