May I ask why the price has been reduced to 1/4 of the original price (or -$7000)? I understand lowering the price when it has been on the market for a bit, but was the original price a mistake, has something happened to the piece or is there another reason I am overlooking? I think it is a fair question to ask, how did you come to own such a piece? Not sure I'd be willing to throw $2,500 at it, but it looks like it's in impressive condition and it certainly is a piece of history. I'm going to assume it is Range-ready?

I'm not OP so can't say definitively but likely nothing has happened to the item, merely feeling the market for prices. Started out on the high end due to it's condition and uniqueness similar to this for $8,500 https://www.gunbroker.com/item/783983202 Then brought it down to be slightly above the ordinary $1,200-$2,200 https://www.gunbroker.com/All/search?Keywords=Mauser%20P08%20Luger btw, here's this this very handgun posted by DireWolf on GunBroker as well https://www.gunbroker.com/item/784296231 Title: Re: [WTS] WWII Nazi Luger Made in 1941 by the Mauser factory in Obendorf Post by: DireWolfM14 on August 31, 2018, 01:53:55 PM May I ask why the price has been reduced to 1/4 of the original price (or -$7000)?

I did indeed make a mistake when I priced it the first time. Not a typo, an honest mistake as to what it's value is. I didn't do nearly enough research. I recently brought it up to a friend of mine who still owns a gunshop, he has a much better reading on the market than I do. He reminded me that using gunbroker's current listings is not the best way to judge the true value. It's much better to search for completed auctions of items that have actually sold. To that point I came across this: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/779097880 Other than that, Bitspill's conclusions are spot-on. And yes, you found me. 8) The gun is indeed range ready, nothing has happened to it, and the $7000 reduction in price was merely me accepting reality. |
