by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

I saw this recently....by Berger....
with original screws...
NOS Bidding is currently $400.....+ .
Are most DEALER ISSUED emblems now over $100-$200 in value ?

NICK CHEVROLET
TARENTUM,PA. .... any interest ?

CRIVELLI CHEVROLET
McKees Rocks, Pa ..... any interest ?

Both NOS , NICK is Metal .Chrome.
Crivelli is old style double layer plastic.
just curious... had these for decades

No most dealer emblems trade for under 20 bucks like the one you have there unless you have a guy who's sentimental about his car coming from the same dealer. That being said a emblem like the Berger one who's a high performance dealer will fetch crazy money. I have one from Knafel pontiac the I bet would do 500 bucks if I wanted to sell it because it's nos. I have ones from Reedman,Dale,Scuncio,and Tasca Ford.

ROYAL Donnie?

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

Yep

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

I can see the Berger going for close to 4 figures. But how NOS is it ? .
new from the 60's , 70's , 80's or later ?
Being in the busines for years at various Dealerships.
Most kept there script and supplier for decades till Plastic decals & mylar took over in the 90's. .

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

His last one went for over $400. He lead people on to beleive it was the only one he had. How many does he really have? Looks like another buyer beware. I wonder what decade it really came from. It does not look like the one I have. Mine is not new it has some crazing in the chrome, but good enough at arms length. Sam has one on his car. Maybe he can help with the age of it.

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

The last ones on Ebay sold for $242 each back in August. That is a big jump in a couple months.

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

Correct me if I'm wrong. . I've seen Originals with sharper edges , the others look more rounded off.....
just as you see between NOS GM emblems vrs. Reproduction ones. 40 year old techniques / modern molds....Hmmmm.
am I being skeptical or critical ?
I've been around and old die cast emblems are quite 'crisp' &amp; sharp around the edges......;-)

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

WHERE'S THE NEXT ONE?

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

Tried to ask a question about the emblem. Ebay says you can not contact the seller with a question. Add says it is not the stick on type. That is obvious by the two screws in the picture.

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

Is this a emblem that someone had reproduced or what?

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

I sent a question(s) message ....

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

Looks like it has been replated.

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

Todd (eBay seller GM restoparts) responded to my question of originality and how many he has.

He states, he acquired it from a Retired former Berger New Car Prep Employee that he had for Decades..
his ONLY ONE . even if its a rechrome , its a cool piece.

If so,,,someone Really wants it ,,maybe for a Real Berger application.
I accept Todd's explanation, I woutld Not have without a reply....

He has a lenghty history of selling NOS Emblems and rare parts with a feedback of 100%...not an easy feat in Today's eBay world.

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

That has the be the fourth or fifth identical emblem that guy has sold in the last few months.

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

my opinion is that it is a reproduction. He might of had an nos one and copied it.

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

That was my feeling when I saw it and now that other people have said he has sold at least 4 of them lately.

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

the bid goes on... posting one at a time drives the price and interest to bid at any # just to &quot;get one&quot;....
I see a pattern here opposed to the high volume of YENKO Emblems that are openly known as reproductions.
Price : $35-$50 each, verses $415 + for a rear panel emblem......geez ,,,
Marketing is Capitolistic at its finest.....
I just bought from retired former New Car prep employees one of each Dealership emblems: Dana , Yenko ,Bill Thomas , GIBB, Baldwin, Scunzio Berger and many more.. ...... I'm calling Danchuk now to &quot;preserve&quot; these in new boxes.. .
I even have a MARTIN'S AUTO CORRAL in Mylar chrome...sorry guys,, I only have. &quot;1&quot;....to post. geez

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

It does look real. I just do not like his story. This is the second one I have seen him sell. I needed one for my real car. Thanks to help from Good Guys on here I purchased one for a hundred dollars. I don't mind a guy making some money but this is taking advantage story. And if they end up being repo I hope they screw the guy to the wall. I was offered a repo but did not buy it. Again his does look real.

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

who had the repro ?

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

Someone on this site had some cnc cut from his original. He had three made for his Chevelle and used two

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

I think the wrong person is getting maligned.
In his feedback history, he has 58 sales within the last 6 months - none for Berger emblems. None in the past year +.

I found these in sold items - none are his auctions.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/171432052311 $111 from a 71 Chevelle
http://www.ebay.com/itm/151376163617 $242 new - gmpiecesparts in St Johns MI.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/151387042182 $242 new - same seller, last one.

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

Kurt,
reading the description, (neatly worded, new car prep guy) the sellers location,the &quot;relisting&quot; (both sold for $242.50) ????
and Reading between the Lines.
I come to the conclusion &quot;they are the same seller&quot; with 2 different eBay ID's..,,,,How many buyers/sellers have multiple Id's. ..... to bid up / protect there items?????

I'm a dummy though......just MHO

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

I was bidding on one he had up for auction in Aug.
I was out bid in the last few seconds.
I received an email a day later asking if I was still interested. I said I was and asked what happened to the winning bidder?
His response was....I have 5 available.
Therefore.....he could have 5 available or as mentioned above, a second eBay ID to drive the price up. It's hard to say.
Just my 2 cents.

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

Ladies and gentlemen,, we have a ...a
BINGO. !!!!!!

HOW MANY &amp; HOW FAST WILL / CAN RE-TRACT their Bids ????

I know I would in a heartbeat of america !!!

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

Three weeks ago I deleted the other sale for $242. The location and seller name were near identical. Half of this description matches the other description. I remember something about it being found in the back of a drawer. Does this sound familiar to anyone else? I know the guy had the screws for sale after that auction. Not trying to malign anyone just smell a RAT. Just glad I got one before they became unobtainable.

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

$690.00!!!

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

Oh my GOD
SOLD FOR.

$690 + trip....

did our discussion with controversy drive the bidders ???

I hope the winning bidder see's our thread and the second highest bidder gets an email tomorrow asking if he is interested in &quot;the last one&quot;
Danchuck any one ????
I looked at the eBay one, the Members original and 3 of my own vintage emblems......I adjust my thoughts and think it IS A NEW RE*REPRO. ..TOO NICE on the Machining holes for the screws. And just to &quot;crisp&quot; for a 45 year old flash chromed piece of diecast.

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

The winning bidder only has feedback of 2 and 6 bid retractions in the last 6 months.Smells fishy.

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

I had a bidder like that once. SOB screwed up my auction and then drug me along for two weeks without paying before I checked his feedback and found other sellers had given him a good feedback and proceeded to tell the &quot;rest of the story&quot;. That's just one more good argument for being able to leave negative feedback on buyers.

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

People are cashing in. Here is another one already and it is NOS also. Checked it on MapQuest the two sellers are 101 miles away. Checking bid history one person is trying hard to buy one. Interesting?

Berger emblem

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

Since when can a starting price of 100 be bid up 5 times from only 1 bidder to 400 ???

Somebody in Michigan either scored a box of these or Had them Reproduced ,,,, so many 1 of Only 1 emblems are showing up on eBay , all from Michigan....1 seller (with multiple seller Id's ) has listed and relisted these numerous times as &quot;1&quot; only.....too bad for you Berger guys wanting and bidding on NOS generics for Huge $$$....
These are $40-$50 badges as repoes... wtf ..

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

When it starts at $100 and there is a $400 reserve.

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

Doesnt show a reserve in listing.. I opened the bidding window and it doesn't show reserve not met....????

When does or did eBay show the reserve amount ?
when I bid reserve items it never shows a reserve amount,,,,just that it hasn't met reserve or reserve met.

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

If the reserve was $400 than this would happen.

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

And maybe the Dealership would be interested to know these are out there [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Re: by Berger NOS Dealer Emblem on eBay
 

dead fish...

I like making money when I sell....
but everything I sell has its own merits and stories to stand on......

Hey, I just found 1 more emblem...(from my bottomless case)

I may list it with a &quot;moderate reserve&quot; ...come on guys , I only sell one........
at a time.lmoa
