Last time I checked, I found the .30 Luger reamer offered for about $100--but that was last year. I agree that one would likely be better off just buying a new one, at $89 for the old. It was up to about fifty bucks at the point I found and posted the auction. which would have been reasonable...
I am at that point of satisfaction now, when considering spare parts, tools, accessories, etc., when I can rig a bargain/lowball bid on eBay stuff using Auctionsniper, and then I just wait to see what happens. I let the "outbid" come and go as they will, and if I'm outbid, I just let the deal go. I often fair better whenever the same type of item is auctioned again shortly thereafter. At this point, the desperate bidders who need it NOW have bought the first one and do not bid on/inflate the bidding on the next auction. If I can obtain something at a good price, I'll snag it if I can, to be held in stock as a spare spare, or to help out another collector without a gouge-level transaction.
