What is the best way to sell all or part of a luger collection?

[jeb111]

I guess I should have been more clear, when I said I plan on owning something like a Luger for life getting the cheapest price is not the driving factor for the purchase. I am not a dealer looking to make money. If I can't afford something I just don't try to buy it by offering a low ball price.

Obviously gun shows are the best way to buy and sell something. Having the item in your hand and inspecting it answers most questions but dealing with most of the members on this forum would seem to be the next best thing.

Funny I bought my only Lugers years ago as a kid from local gun shows, knowing almost nothing about them at the time. Since then I have learned volumes and my Lugers turned out to be very honest matching # pieces. At the time I thought I paid a fortune for some of them, $600 for a 1916 DWM all matching w/ tool and 1916 holster, original finish.
Got lucky, my gun show guardian angel was looking out for me. Jim
