Know what you want, before you bid...

At the time I am writing this there is what appears to be a Luger frame on eBay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/WW2-German-L...90#ht_38wt_808

but it ISN'T...

It is the frame of a toy or metal replica pistol that is being represented as vintage "WW2 German Luger P 08 Pistol Grips and Parts Housing"... well it is 'vintage'... but it isn't a Luger frame.

1. It would be against eBay rules and federal law to sell it there, or to anyone who is not a C&R or FFL license holder.

2. If you don't know what you are buying, you can waste a lot of money... (someone has bid $250 for this item, and it is junk)

The seller caveat is "what you see is what you get"... that means no refund...

Let's be careful out there... P.T. Barnum said that there is one born every minute... don't you be one of them.
