I think bill hits the point...
that is... the comfort level of dealing with valuing a luger. Not everyone has bill's expertise in this area, and speaking for myself here, there is no way I would be able to accurately value a luger. So I know, if I wanted to buy a known quality luger I'm gonna buy one from someone I trust, a bill, or a Tom, or a Ralph, then I KNOW what I'm getting, because i just don't have the skill to do it.
But if you DO have that skill, I agree with bill, there are loads of opportunities out there, and it just could be that Luger that's going for $1750 that everyone thinks is so overpriced, might be the deal of the century, because of some little feature no-one else has noticed.
It's kinda like the Stock Market, if you know enough, you play your own picks, if you don't... you use a broker.
