It isn't just about high prices or higher prices, Militaria is one of life's assets, you can save more by buying wisely than you can by saving in a bank but nothing is free.
Remember that on a lot of occasions the items cost the seller more than they might have done previously so they sell for more !
I have many a time not been able to buy something because the price was too high, it is worse when you can and do spend a lot of cash only to find that you have made a mistake.
As others have said, their enjoyment of the hobby is obtaining an item that they might have been looking for for years, in those situations the object becomes worth the price.
The underlying factor of course is that although some dealers are charging more, there are still bargains out there and no-one is dictating that you buy from the expensive dealers, I have learned one thing in the past, if you want something special it will cost you......such is life.
Dave.
