Tax time affecting gun broker prices?

Brien · 03-01-2017, 08:57 PM

Hi folks,

Is it just me or are the opening bid, reserve and buy it now prices on Gunbroker a little on the semi ridiculous side. Is it because of tax time perchance? They weren't that high just a month ago. Has the supply if lugers suddenly dried up?

P-38s are also creeping into the higher than general price ranges. Is it a cycle or have I missed the boat on affordable pieces and am watching it sail away.

From my semi-untrained eye most (if not all) don't seem to be outstanding collector pieces
They aren't krieghoffs, k dates or other much scarcer versions.

Also, am I wrong in being a little disgusted at the "Black Widow" marketing moniker and the (to me) grossly inflated prices for them? Fred Datig days in hisLugers at Random there were many thousands produced. (Or am I mistaken?)

I know, I'm probably just whining....

What say ye?
