Absolutely right, that's what I always say too!! :crying:

I live in Pennsylvania. So only a $3.00 firearms tax and a $5.00 background check from this auctioneer.

While I know nothing about how things are done in Penn, here there is also 7% sales tax ($105 for $1500 sale price) and a bidder's fee of around 15%-20% ($225-$300 on a $1500 hammer price). See how it adds up?

Then there is the chance that some dunce buys it at $2300 and you've wasted the entire day...

Yes, I'm a bit depressing today, but I don't go to public auctions to buy Lugers anymore.

isn't a mauser supposed to have a hump?

The later Mausers, yes. Early ones, no.

Thanks David, I did know that, guess we live and learn.

I won the Luger posted here.

After all fees, taxes, background check, and even a mandatory $2 trigger guard,....

I paid $1,128.

Thanks for the input.

Barry;
Good job, I guess I was wrong. Again.

Congrats on winning this Luger for that total amount of $. I don't see how you could ever lose money on this Luger unless there is some hidden problem/s. It looks good in the photos. Let us know how things are with this Luger as you have time to explore it.

Nice catch! Bill
