Alvin thank you for the explanation, I will stick with our known dealers as most of those I that I own we purchased from friends and members on our forum~ My biggest issue is the number of photographs and descriptions lacking. Your buying a luger like a wife who maybe with you the rest of your life!! Better yet for the past years George Anderson has had the absolute finest lugers at a fair price and accepted payments. I guess its a matter of preference. In law I learned keep it simple. Auctions involve too many variables and your favorite may get lost in the shuffle or 3 or 4 of the same model! Your wonderful explanation scares me even more!! Our forum is a great example. Often there are ten technical views on something simple as a holster or magazine. Both forum rip apart anything they think is wrong. The other problem is you don't have adequate time to run it by our members the with only 4 pictures!! I trust my wife Debby, George, Ron, Jerry, Ed, Pete and a few others and not the auction house and their overwhelming control and last word contained in their contract at a first glance!With our heros I can sleep soundly at night. They are there at anytime! They have provided me with over 10 years of trust! I'm sorry if I offended anyone as I see nothing wrong with what they are doing but I'm still a stubborn attorney even after my stroke!!I'm a romantic who believes in buying my luger from a seller often a friend! that we can deal! At a gunshow you can make friends and actually hold and inspect a luger and agree on a fair price devoid of commissions "An Arm Length Deal"~ You can trust him who knows your gun, your bottom price with wiggle room! There is nothing as rewarding! Most of all whether using a seller or owner, you are not pardon the expression, "Under The Gun" of instant bidding. We have lost the art of face to face negotiation and the Gentlemans' Handshake! Eric
