I think that $33,000 for a new pickup is ridicious, but if you want one, that is the price. That $1000 Luger will hold its value and ten years from now be worth at least the $1000, where that new pickup won't even be worth half it's original value. I do not think that the price of Lugers in the only factor keeping young collectors from collecting, but there is the "peer pressure" thing, that "guns are bad", and it's not what the "in crowd" is doing or approving at this time. Also, there just isn't that much interest from the younger generation on WWI or WWII history. We collectors and shooters are a unique breed of cat!
