Title: Who makes these 50th anniversary badges?

And what do they really cost? I was offered a second chance offer for $60 - I had bid up that far, not realising what the final price would be. Are they a limited edition or could I get one cheaper from the original maker or supplier?


Thanks.

Paul
I wandered that myself, I bidded on one and it sold for a bit over $60, my highest bid was $25 and no second chance offer. Surely they would cost a heap less than $60.

I want one for the car and one for the cabinet but am not willing to pay over inflated prices for a new item with no limit to the number being produced. I would hazard a guess that if manufacture in bulk 50 to 100 they would cost $15 to $25 each

Cheers Jim

Jim - He has now offered me 2 for $120 - I am tempted but like you say it isn't the cheapest price for something that I would have thought was $30 +/- given it will become a collectable.

Gunna hold fire for a bit longer.....

Hey guys,
We could do our own version.....have just completed a run of badges for the nats...something like the one on ebay could be done for approx $30-35 per badge so if there was enough interest I could get some
made up.
That way we could make sure they WERE limited editions.
Just a thought
