The HK P7 is a desirable home defense or carry gun, because they are extremely accurate, well made and have a very flat profile. They require minimum training as there are no safeties to learn and they are considered much safer than a Glock. They are also all Garman made, as they have never had a US partner or factory here in the US produce them. The ones on the market are usually police trade-ins in excellent shape, although examples can be still obtained new as well.
They have a certain mystique and rarety, which has driven the price up. The only downside I have found to them is that they do get uncomfortably hot in the hand when firing repeated shots.
An ultimate fair trade would be up to the individuals participating, but as a purely business like proposition, I think an even trade would be fair to both. You could certainly convert the P7 into cash much more quickly than the Luger.
