Was it ethical to scoop the dealer...?

Was at the local gun dealership today and a younger man walks in with his grandfathers byf42 Luger (d-block). The dealer is pretty slick, up front, but a jerk otherwise when the walk-ins are gone.

Anyway, the young man is considering selling his Granddads piece and I quitely mention (while in the store) that I collect German stuff... and do an end run around the Dealer. The young man and I meet outside where I pass him my phone number... Grampa will decide on Easter whether he wants to sell...

First, have I violated the "Luger Gods" or do I get high marks for the end run??

Second, this piece sadly is only 75-80% but matching, a decent brown 1942 holster, and 135 tool. Had two mags... the one in the pistol was worth -0- as busted out black plastic and the second was at home doh!!!

What's a good price to pay for this rig?

TIA...Bob
