Luger Prices

Hi,Has anyone noticed that the prices asked for pistols these days have no relation to "Blue Book" or other price guides.I recently have seen several pistol that fit the price criteria as mint;but in reality are good to very good condition.I call this the"better than new store".The dealer has a pistol that is still available as new and retails for $500.He now has it used and wants $600 for same.I saw a 1913 DWM Luger with a bad bore,grips smooth, with pitts and rust growing on it.Price $1300.I think these guys watch too many "Antiques Roadshows".While I'm on the subject if I had all the guns that Father/Grandfather/Uncle took off the SS/Officer/Paratrooper I could fill the Grand Canyon. Regards MC
