Well, this time the title of the listing is correct. Curiously, it's a hundred bucks more. A little bird told me that it has a broken main spring, which is not mentioned in the description...

I bought a NOS flat 2-piece mainspring from a seller on eBay [Tom was OoS] for $50...Just sayin'...

Luger 1900 American Eagle 30cal,nice used condition,all matching serial numbers except for the magazine and takedown latch.

I also don't recall that...

Edit: just checked the original listing...Nothing about the takedown latch...

Non-matching, broken mainspring, and they raise the price???

I won one about a year ago, when I detected within myself the desire for a 1900--just in case, I figured it would be an important spare part if I got involved with one.

The pistol also has some small parts blued that shouldn't be.

You think ~$1k is more what it is worth? The "temporary" buyer said it would be OK to divulge my knowledge or the gun's issues gained by his experience. I could theoretically put off my purchase of tires for my truck by putting on the two of each set I have, to pass inspection next month...

I think it is worth ~1k...But his price is $1,700...IMO too much...

I think I would waffle even at $1,200...

I have no place I have to be any more, so this choice would be a no-brainer for me...

Local junkyards have used tires...As does Craigslist...

Seller is listed in South Dakota; 3% added for CC. Plus $25 S&H. That's an additional $76 plus whatever your local FFL receiver charges. Call it an additional $100.

Central NY gets hit hard in Winter; if you really need your truck, good tires might be more important. I just bought two more for my SUV from Tire Rack; shipped to my home. Kept the two old ones for spares, tread still legal, just uneven.

I can walk to my supermarket (and have), so getting stuck in a snowstorm isn't life threatening. It has an ATM; I have direct deposit.

Decisions, decisions. Once upon a time, when I was just out of the military and attending SUNY @ Buffalo on the GI Bill [ridiculously underfunded], I had to decide whether to feed my dog for a day or two until my check arrived, or feed myself.

Decisions, decisions. Tires or Lugers???
