That is surely good advice, for collectors/investors. One thing I don't understand completely (and maybe you can help me understand the psychology), is the following;

I've been interested in Lugers more so over the last 4-5 yrs, and belong to both forums you also visit. Why is it that there is no adjustment for values tied to inflation? I mean, EVERYTHING goes up in value each year. Why is it that the "Experts" are ALWAYS likely to say that a Luger that is not 100% unmolested is worth $500-700 all day long?

Do they do it to hold prices low, so they can acquire cheaper to sell higher? There IS a finite number of Lugers out there, no more will be made. Seems to me they'd be doing themselves a favor by adjusting this benchmark number upward each year for when it came time to sell that item they got that "Walked" itself into the Gunshow.
