Auctions

My god guys, look at the pictures! Ask the seller some questions. Get an inspection period. Look at their feedback. Call him up and visit. If you can not trust anyones word, or you must travel all across the country to personally inspect a piece, you won't be buying many Lugers. This is actually silly, the stuff about captured papers. They can be faked just like anything else and what do they actually tell you, that you have a byf 41 luger with a serial number of such and such. It doesn't tell you it hasn't been messed with. They are nice to have, but really do not mean much unless you actually buy the gun from the man who actually was issued the captured papers. And if your only going to buy directly from a vet, then you won't be buying for much longer, as they are leaving us at about 1000 per day! These auctions are actually a very good deal for both the seller and the buyer. If you do not have a lot of contacts, the auction is a great way to expose a lot of people to your product. If you're the buyer, it lets you know about stuff that you never would have ever known about. If you're not comfortable about knowing if a gun is real or not, or not comfortable with the pictures or description, or conditions or inspection period, then you should not gamble on it and find someone you do trust to do your buisness with. I look at these auctions as a great opportunity to find stuff.
