George Lugers' 45 Purpotedly Up For Auction

Yeah. Lesson learned -- if cannot keep a gun, then don't buy it. Selling is OK, but cannot do it in big hurry. Must take this attitude: sold? that's good. No? Not a big deal, keep it. Otherwise, don't buy it at the beginning. Collectors in this domain play at 3 to 6 digit price range, but the principal should be same across the board, IMO.

Two reason to buy an expensive one

1 - for enjoyment.
2 - for a profit.

#2 is a gamble.

You forgot the 3rd reason, "Because I can".... Wish I could fall in that category.
