another 1st luger.

[Jim Mac]

from what the guy was telling me. He was looking at a vendors table at a gun show. He said the prices were well above what he wanted to pay for a shooter type pistol. A older gentleman brings out this luger and gets into the conversation about selling it and wondered if the vendor was interested in paying X number of dollars for it. The vendor started the guns been reblued, not numbers matching, mags dont match. Basically he was trying to get a better deal or to put it bluntly he was trying to low ball the guy. So the guy turns and says I'll pay your asking price. Flipped out the cash and walked away with it.
Basically whats the vendor to do? After knocking the gun for everything thats wrong with it. The guy I bought it from didnt tell me the exact price he paid for the gun, but did say it was less than what he sold it to me for. He bought it always wanting one. Took it to the range, etc and decided after a few years to thin the collection and this was one of the things he was selling. jim
