Online auctions with horrid photos

Geo99,

Yes I did, and yes one of the guys here bought the K.
If I were a "serious collector" I would have bid higher on the K.

Alvin,
the descriptions said "matching".

I have very mixed feelings about posting live auctions; one- it does run up interest and ultimately price, but two- you might see one otherwise missed. Like most things, a 2 edged sword!

Not always true. I wrote here about a year ago of a customer in my LGS buying/FFL receiving a K (or was it a G?) and the LGS owner calling me down to look it over and tell the guy what he had (inspection period) - he had no idea. Owner sold it to LGS afterward (K meant nothing to him) and LGS gave it to friend as present.

I have always posted about auctions/sales I thought would be of interest. I always have a price ceiling and very seldom go over. My own interests are so out of line with others that I am seldom disappointed.

My only concern now is that what interests me does not seem to be offered at present...

On the topic of horrid photos, here's a current listing for a Navy magazine with photos that reach a new low. What is strange is that other Luger magazines offered by this same seller have crystal clear photos.
