To attempt to provide a price range on a Luger without reviewing its pictures and confirming the seller's description would most likely be a disservice to both you and the Luger.
However, there are some considerations that may be helpful for you:
1. Prices in the "Luger Market" are generally soft right now.
2. A description of "all matching Luger" does not necessarily mean that all parts are matching and CORRECT. Lugers have many numbered parts and, depending upon the manufacturer, may have additional markings. So, just because a part that should be numbered does match the numbering on the Luger, does not necessarily mean the part is correct. With magazines in particular, numbers can be changed, added or deleted to match the type of Luger and not be correct with respect to the rest of the attributes of the type mag it should be. This is important because a matching/correct mag can add 20-30% in overall value to the Luger.
3. As I said in my earlier post, a Luger with a chamber marking of "1918" AND a unit mark is relatively rare. This suggests that an additional premium of @10-20% would be appropriate. Moreover, Erfurt Lugers manufactured late in WWI are notorious as being "roughly finished" when compared to Lugers manufactured earlier especially Luger manufactured prior to 1914. Consequently, depending on the overall condition of this Luger, here may be a little more value in this particular one. Having made these observations, I am biased because I collect Imperial unit marked Lugers and am willing to pay a little more for a good, unit marked Imperial Luger than a Luger collector specializing in a different type/era Lugers.
4. To specifically assess the asking price of a Luger, you can also go to retail Luger seller's websites (e.g. Simpson Ltd, Pre 98, Joe Salter, Checkpoint Charlie's) and note what the are asking for their Lugers. The only caveat here is that these type of sellers are including within their price a 20-30+% premium for "retail selling" that typically are not included when you buy from a fellow collector.
It seems to me that asking the seller to hold this Luger, even if you give him a refundable deposit, while you post pictures of it on this forum to obtain feedback on its condition/correctness is reasonable.
