Yes, CNN (today) confirmed that both eBay, and AOL (who owns the Yahoo network (ie, Yahoo-auctions too)) have banned any auction dealing with the following items:

WW2-German (ie, Nazi related)

KKK items (or any other 'hate' group)

Items related to Criminals, murders, cult, etc...

Items of this genre were allowed up until this point, for Historical reasons. But have since deemed the items banned, with or without historical importance.

Personally, I don't think this will impact "Lugers" as a whole. Maybe two out of the four Jan Still books will be banned though (look at covers). That will probably be the extent of it.

Maybe Gunbroker.com will get a heck of a lot more business out of this deal! Look on the bright side... Wait, I'm in Atlanta... Maybe I should go team up with Gunbroker, and do some business plans.

It's all good...
