"Holy smoke!" What did I pay for my old (used) SOF ones? 5 or 10 pounds? That's crazy expensive!

I paid $30.00 each for my three unissued bags about five years ago. This happened with another supplier, too. They had bags for like $15.00, everyone called for them the same day, they figured out what was going on and over about three days the price went up around $70.00.

Yeah, £35 for bag & mask is the going price at militaria fairs/shows. I picked up my MKVII in unissued condition for £10 (bag only) at a show

Yes indeed. And there will be others. No matter what guff the WPG guy wote on his site about buying all the remaining MKVIIs in the world, which led to making the copy, there are obviously more out there. They'll turn up.
