German Youth buckle...

I picked up this buckle years ago at an estate auction along with some other odds and ends. At the time I thought it looked German or was a Flash Gordon toy or something. After some research it looks to be a German Youth buckle. So, what kind of value can I put on this if I'm going to sell it? I've seen them going for $130-$200 depending. I've been offered $70. It's in good shape. Any advice would be good.

Well right now its worth 70 dollars! If you put on an auction you may get the 200. Bidders tend to get carried away sometimes!

What auction site sells German stuff? I've thought about sending it up the Pete at Collector's Guild but I'm not sure. Thanks.

Its a Hitler Jungfolk buckle (Young Folk) Am testing my memory as a former enthusiast. Can't give you a current value I've been out of it too long.

I thought it meant Hitler Jugend

The Deutsches Jungvolk was a sort of junior division of the Hitler Jugend.
