Re: Prices
Bill,
You are sure correct on the pricing of Lugers on the auctions. I have almost stopped looking at the auctions because the prices are ridiculous. If I could sell my pistols for what some of the starting prices are I would seriously consider selling. The only thing is that if they do climb to this price level, it just makes the ones I own now that much more valuable. I think I will keep mine and see what happens in a few years.
One of the postins discussed the price of the P.38s being offered at $600 and they are all sold. I can;t believe they sold at this price. You can still buy a nice, original P.38 for less than that! All the dealers that bought these pistols will then try to price them at $700-750 at gun shows and some will definetly sell.
If the prices for the import marked Lugers and P.38s begin selling at these prices, that should make all the originals go up also. My pistol buying has slowed this year because of the escalating prices.
