For a newer gun, how much difference in price from fired at the factory only to fired 'many' times?

if brand new looking then i think most folks could care less.

I was selling some WW2 made Luger ammo last fall and had pictures of the original box. The words on the box are interpreted by many that its for machinepistols. In reality it means it is primarily FOR submachine guns (steel case) and it does not mean its unsafe. This IDIOT wrote me that i was trying to sell something unsafe.

I at first was very irritated, but simply changed my ad to state these are for collectable use and should probably not be fired. My point is, you can barely change your wording and have the same effect. You can say, appears unfired, dad never shot it and he bought it straight from the local gun store.

And then block them from bidding I am amazed at how many folks think they are auction police

- although I have written folks telling them if I saw something wrong, just trying to be helpful, but perhaps it was not taken that way?
