I have bought Lugers from the auction sites and have not had any problems. Most of the better ones have a guarenteed 3 day inspection policy but it would be a good idea to confirm this this with the seller before bidding. Things to watch for is the 'feeding frenzy' where you and another bidder are determined to outbid each other and lose track of the actual value of the item being bid on. Some of the forum members sell on Gunbroker and Auction Arms and might be able to add a few pointers.
If you really have the hots for this particular Luger send them an email and ask if the barrel has been replaced and renumbered and if it has been refinished, I would be interested in their reply.
