Didn't say he is a good guy...I haven't had any dealings with him. I am only going by some of the items I have seen offered on Gunbroker which looked legitimate and the quality of the photos he uses is usually pretty good. I would also be much more comfortable with $2000 for the gun, but I can't keep up with pricing as it is escalating so fast. I routinely see guns going for $500-$1000 more than I think they are worth and they sell! Your $2600 for a nice 1906 is a good buy, but you aren't going to find a 1900 in that condition for anywhere near that price...a 1900 is a premium item. I like your quote: "pricing of Lugers is pretty much a work of art by the seller, a work of desire by the buyer and an opportunity for one of them"...amen!
