Tracy..

I have to agree with you.... I just posted on Jan's site about HK Lugers to a new owner - and I bit my tongue a bit.... HKs have suffered from "I'm a new collector with money" - and "dealers" who boost prices to meet their wallet.

Prices today are simply silly.

Many dealers are asking "STUPID" prices in hopes of attacting the "new" collector. Are they "real" prices?

I dunno - if someone is foolish enough to pay those prices - shame on them.... There are some realistic dealers/collectors out there. Neither in this case nor for "Krieghoffs". Lately - dealers have set the price on the "silly" scale.

And oh - I can say that. I just "marvel" at HK prices... Good for any dealer - if they get their asking price. This is America, after all....

Frankly - I'm just glad I bought most of my HKs before most dealers discovered "Internet" pricing and Internet customers....
