Wow Martin you are the man! And what kind of bone head only offers $300 and walks away? I hope he got wise and went back after you left. I would have laughed my ass off at him. :chuckles:

Holy Shnikes, that's one of the holy grails of Luger collecting! :shock: Too bad about the condition, that knocks it down a bit. I never find anything gun related at yard sales. SWMBO found some fishing stuff at one yesterday, and I thought that was something.

I find it very amazing living in Ca, that you guys find guns laying on a table at yard sales. Really ? It was just laying on the table. And how long did you wait until you went back with the extra hundred ? as soon as someone else started looking at it :chuckles:

According to the sign, the yardsale began at 11 am. I didn't arrive until 4 pm. I'm not sure of the exact time that the $300 offer was refused, but I am surprised that no one else topped that offer in the 5 hours of lying on the open table.
No words of wisdom come to mind at this time....

That blows my mind right there.

Maybe everyone that saw it thought it was one of those evil guns that everyone is so scared of.
