Nice LP-08 on Auction

[Big Norm]

George,
I think that you got it right on both of your above points.

Ed,
you hit it on the nose, as usual. Although I wonder why anyone would worry about our uncle in the government business. They are smarter than that.
Doesn't it just get you sick to think that someone would ruin a matching gun just to steal one part. These parts are available all over the internet and from parts dealers. With a little patience, you can find anything you want there. Real chinsy, cheap and lazy if you ask me. I guess that I am just too honest.

Jerry,
The guy said that he is handicapped. If that is true, then it looks to me that he may buy at regular prices at gun shows and try to make a few bucks on the internet in an auction feeding frenzy. The mix and match 1908 navy would possibly be a good example. I was thinking about it until the price got to where I thought it should be and then backed off. Personally, the last price that I remember of about $3500+ is a too high. It did not hit the reserve price yet at that price. Also, I think I remember TomA had a bad experience with him.

To all,
I hope that my previous book-like post gave some people some ideas about working with foreign buyers/sellers. The idea of contacting a states attorney gerneral sounds pretty good too. When I have my date with my lady friend, professional Ebay seller, I hope that she will give me some more wisdom. I was going to post some more ideas but my previous post got too long as it was.
