Fraud, Deceit or just plain stupidity!

Hmmmm......

It's this kind of stuff that really turns off new collectors.... Imagine that someone actually forks over $1500 on this "EXCELLENT" Luger - and posts it here after the purchase..??

I really, really, really dislike purchasing from the Auction sites - but I have, and will probably continue to - BUT, I always expect something less, and am rarely disappointed.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

The best one yet, was an "all matching" byf about 2 years ago. The photos were fuzzy, so the owner sent some more.. Close-ups of the top, close-ups of the frame (without the SN), close-ups of everything.. So - I bid, being assured it was all matching..... Well - in a way - it WAS all matching! The top half all matched and the bottom all matched. Of course - the TOP and the BOTTOM were NOT matched!!! Oh - and the "perfect blue" was actually perma-marker in black, that never showed in the photos.....

Amazing... Simply amazing...
