collectors guild www.germanmilitaria.com opinion

I have dealt with these folks for years. They stand behind their stuff and while their prices are retail, they are often on consignment and therefore set by the individual seller. Often they are the only folks to get the interesting gear from so if you want it, you don't have a lot of choice. I find them much more pleasant to deal with than the other similar sounding company from Ontario.
 
I will deal with them again if there is something I really want. I just got a small item from them, which was well wrapped when shipped, but was charged $25 USD for shipping. Thought that it would be shipped Xpresspost with signature, but reality it cost them $12.16 Canadian and sent by expedited mail, no signature, which it still took a week to get to me. I think $18 profit for shipping is high. I understand making a bit for the 25 cents of wrap and 50 cents for cardboard and $2 for gas, but a little gouging.
 
I've spent a lot of $$ over the years at Ruptured Duck and Collectors Guild. Duck is overpriced but Bill Shea has the knowledge so I'm not concerned. All the items at the Guild are consigned items with prices set by the seller. The U.S. $ has stopped me from buying anything lately. I'll certainly continue to buy if the dollar improves. Both places have excellent reputations
