Wes,
The range for a shooter can be from $400 to $1k, or more. Condition would dictate where in this range a particular one would fall. You may do better hanging with the forum and checking the WTS section for a nice shooter another collector is passing along.
Gun shows are a crapshoot--people with insufficient experience/knowledge selling usually overpriced guns. But sometimes you can strike gold...
Most would advise lots of research about Lugers before getting one, so as not to be burned. I've found there is always something to learn about assessing the condition/variation of Lugers. I will echo this because the more you know, the better you may do. If you don't mind paying full retail for a pistol, check out Simpson Ltd. which is a reliable source for Lugers that has a reputation for standing behind their offerings.
