Well, think of the time and labour that went into faking up that aging?
You think that's only worth minimum wage?
Then again what, chemical toning, a spot of Cherry blossom? 5 minutes work rather than 2 months in the flower bed?

Cool High priced badges

I think this seller has very high hopes with his prices, £29.99 for line Regiment badges which sell for £7.00 on a good day, still some people have more money than sense.

I dunno, a while back a batch of common or garden infantry badges were up for sale in the forum's Classifieds at £25 a pop, offered by, as I recall, a novice seller, and when it was gently pointed out that the price asked was a bit unrealistic (some of them were buy it nows at £6 a time on ebay at the time) people leapt to the sellers defence - he can ask for what he likes.
And the seller said most of them sold.
As ever, never say never.
(No, actually I agree with you).

The seller has a number of accounts and most of the stuff is rubbish and overpriced.
