Lugers seem to have gone up astronomically. A year ago you saw them around quite a bit for $850, but now you can't touch a decent one for that price. I suspect that when England and Australia outlawed the ownership of guns a few years ago our market was flooded. Now the supply has returned to normal and prices are crazy. At the Birmingham show a few weeks ago, according to my friend who went, the only ones available were a non-matching 1920's for about $700, a battle-damaged (yeah, right) WWII for around $1000, and a decent one for about $1,400.
