"Pig in a Poke"

How about this item I found on Ebay, a Luger for sale for $1,750.00? No photo, no description other than this: "Working 1917 German Luger with original serial numbers. Gun is in excellent working order. Interesting history." ... Think I'll pass.

Ebay doesnt allow the sale of firearms, that sucker will be yanked purty soon! Thor

a second email requesting additional information on his $1750 Luger!

I also told him it sounds really overpriced unless there is something really special about it that is documented...

He sent back a reply saying thanks, but hasn't replied to my request for additional info yet.
