Prices

Sieger,

It's funny that you should post that topic accidentally. I was just about to do it on purpose.

I've been talking to people and reading alot lately about Lugers, trying to get a fix on prices. I know there are alot of variations and prices can be affected wildly by rarity, but the one thing that seems to be true is the way prices have skyrocketed on all of them. The $1,100 1918 Erfurt I just picked up is listed everywhere else for about $1,300 and up in that condition. I figured that's a good deal, but as I start reading pricing material that's dated it's clear how prices have doubled in just the past few years. A 1997 value reference places this same Luger at more like $800.

I stared this hobby too late... Can prices go even higher? I can't see how... No one but the super wealthy could afford it.
