Bob Hudson Posted October 10, 2018 Share #27 Posted October 10, 2018 Current bid: US $5,400.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniformcollector Posted October 10, 2018 Share #28 Posted October 10, 2018 Up over $13,000. Any final estimates? 13 was around what I expected, but we still have days to go and the biggest bidders are probably still waiting with 220 watchers.

Brig Posted October 10, 2018 Share #29 Posted October 10, 2018 I'd love to bid, but I'm not rich and don't feel like going to jail. And not even for the MOH...I like the Antarctic angle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweazy21 Posted October 10, 2018 Share #30 Posted October 10, 2018 I honestly think 25k currently. If i had the money, id be in to win. Just to make sure it stays in the US. I had someone ask me why DSM is in front of NX. Was this the correct order at that time or maybe his choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted October 11, 2018 Share #31 Posted October 11, 2018 I don't think it'll hit 25...I think it'll stall out in the next day or so,then maybe see one or two Snipes at the end, seems to happen a lot with exciting items...I honestly think some people bid just to say they bid on something Uber rare while at shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted October 11, 2018 Share #32 Posted October 11, 2018 Honestly, while I love the minis, I would be happy just winning the triple Antarctic ribbon...that one is the Antarctic collectors trifecta in a single row Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted October 11, 2018 Share #33 Posted October 11, 2018 They are going to be bummed if ebay pulls this. But smart bidders will have noticed they put their business name in the item description and it is very easy to find their non-ebay store to contact them: http://www.riicsinc.com I'll bet there's some big offers in their email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvage Sailor Posted October 11, 2018 Share #34 Posted October 11, 2018 A little something to look at while the auction is running..... The Admiral and his command ship in Antarctica 1955 establishing the Little America base camp for Operation Deep Freeze I & II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris3bs Posted October 11, 2018 Share #38 Posted October 11, 2018 There was a special last night about the Antarctic trip. One plane on survey had to make emergency landing and several died while on the ground. Also the same group got back on the plane and hopped/flew 10 miles to he rescued by ship.

firefighter Posted October 11, 2018 Share #41 Posted October 11, 2018 Holy Crap!!!!! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more complete MoH recipient group for sale. A lot of history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4STARCHRIS Posted October 11, 2018 Share #42 Posted October 11, 2018 I love the Tiffany Cross MOH. I also love the Silver life saving medal before his DSM and Navy Cross. I know at one time the Navy DSM was higher up than the Navy Cross but I never thought that the Silver life saving medal was second in line at any time. 4starchris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0811gysgt Posted October 11, 2018 Share #43 Posted October 11, 2018 With the bidding at over $50,000, I think that this auction just turned into a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z19 Posted October 11, 2018 Share #44 Posted October 11, 2018 With the bidding at over $50,000, I think that this auction just turned into a joke. I could not agree more. The higher it goes the more publicity it gets and that's when big brother will get interested. It is no longer an "under the radar" auction.

joeclown Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share #45 Posted October 11, 2018 147 bids and that is from only 8 bidders and only 3-4 of them seem serious, wonder if seller is jacking it up, also wonder when ebay will remove it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everforward Posted October 11, 2018 Share #47 Posted October 11, 2018 Well, the shoe has fallen. Back door deal, or intervention from the Law...? Hmm..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted October 11, 2018 Share #48 Posted October 11, 2018 It's gone.... end.jpg Because ebay still has a reference to the listing, I'd guess that the seller - not ebay - ended it. My experience in having listings deleted by ebay is that all reference to the listing is removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeclown Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share #49 Posted October 11, 2018 Very surprised since EBAY loves the almighty dollar and that would have been quite a few for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted October 11, 2018 Share #50 Posted October 11, 2018 Very surprised since EBAY loves the almighty dollar and that would have been quite a few for them. If this sold for $50,000, ebay fees would total about $4110 (paypal would be another $1450). Ebay takes in about $10 billion a year so they probably won't be too sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
