No, to the contrary I always try to get the best deal that I can. Always. However $1000 is very reasonable for that gun, so I'd not want to take a hard line on the dealings. Offer him $900 cash, hymm and haw a little bit, and buy the gun. Regardless.
But that issue of sales tax does frost my ----. 9+% is high, and unless he is a dealer or has a sales tax number, it seems unnecessary. Here in Nebr. it is the duty of the buyer to report the out-of -state or private purchase to the County Treasurer, and pay the sales tax at that time. But only a licensed dealer has the tax number and is expected to collect the tax. But I'm sure all states are diff.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this Luger, and may it be your first of many.
