Just logged on the forum after several years. Got my 4 Lugers out to clean which is what triggered my mind to check things out. One is a Thor restore...it was shabby until he worked his magic. The other 3 are non shooters paid too much for them to play. Has prices gone up or down on Lugers?

It depends on if you over-paid and/or the types?

I would say that prices are always going up - but there was a cool-down period of prices for 4-5 years.

Edward, do you believe this is primarily due to the Great Recession or just part of a normal cyclic change in prices over time?

I believe the cool down on prices was economic recession based... I don't recall prices dropping... just not going up.

It seems that shooters and reblues have not changed at all in price for years. Curt
