I see and mostly agree with what you are saying Wes, butâ?¦ (always a but, huh?), but, lets say I take some digital photos, sometimes they don't always show the gun the best. It shows some spots on it, a scratch here and there. Two people on the forum say it is all messed up, or that the spots must be from cold bluing (the home type). The dealer can't defend himself because he deals in lots of different types of guns and isn't a Luger guy, per se, so, what does that mean?

That means that he is trying to sell a Luger that is 96% and now several people on the forum, from a picture have stated that it is a re-blue and good only as a shooter. So on the forum, I think it is not the best policy to state names or dealers.

As an example, I have seen several auctions that had an item and people go on about what a piece of crap it is, and then later you find out that it is someone on the forum. Or better yet, that someone on the forum that I know is the high bidder on the item. We can go on conjecture or guessing, but if the seller and the buyer have "talked" or e-mailed, they might know something we don't know.

Sorry, to make a long story short, you and I want to stay clear of bad dealers and if you want to mail me off line and warn me about bad dealers I am all for it 66mustang@palouse.com but I think that on the forum, in a public place, it just gets too ducky.
