and say this looks like the beginning of the perennial emotional arguement over "collectible" vs "shooter". This arguemnet has no answer... it cannot be resolved. Both sides have valid positions (Dwight and Bill, please read the Forum Decorum document), and all that happens is that everyone jumps in with their two cent worth! (Dwight you're forgiven because you're new).

I own a shooter Luger (a Ted Green TDJ) that cost me $800 by the time it was finished. It certainly isn't worth $300 (Bill's point) and it certainly has no collector value, (Kyrie's point) and there you have it. There is no answer that suits everyone! It's like posing the question; "If you believe that God is omnipotent, could he create a rock so heavy, that even he couldn't lift it".

Very little can be said on this this topic that hasn't been said before, and all that is likely to happen is that tempers will flair, and we will all act very badly. So let's just pass on this one OK? Don't make me kill the thread.
