I have almost quit going to local gunshows in N.C., S.C. and Georgia because the selection of collectible pistols are so low. Usually, when you do find a nice one it is priced over the normal value. What really "gets me", is the dealers that have some of the junky Lugers for sale and are asking more for them than a nice one will bring. They come on with their sales pitch about how Rare the pistol and not often seen. I just say, yea, uh huh, and then go on my way. The dealers usually have them when they leave the show. Sometimes they find someone that does not know anything about a Luger and can sell him the pistol at this inflated price because the buyer is taking the "word" of this great dealer who know all about these pistols. I have found that most dealers really know nothing about a Luger except they are expensive pistols. I would much rather pay a little more from a dealer that knows what he is talking about and can be intellegent with his conversation. Just a few of my thoughts on this subject.
