The Sale
I had a look at the vehicle prices and they seem about right and some appear to be a good buy, the Morris for instance.
The artillery prices (in my opinion) were spot on. The 88 was cheap (all depending what bits are there/missing).
German stuff is always going to attract a higher price as this is now the realm of the rich collector or "I sold off my 3 American Tanks to buy a German one".
If that half trac quad was even 80% there it was a steal.
Buying "Museum Restorations" has to be done with care and a careful inspection of the work carried out before hand. A good curator with an even better budget can do great things but a good curator with no budget does what he/she can.
I started restoring military stuff 30 years ago because there was plenty of stuff around and it was cheap. Not anymore but I"m not buying a train set just yet.
