Cliff Green Parker's for Sale
 

I see Galazans has Mr. Green's 4-barrel two gun set for sale. I have a DGJ from 1991 with an ad from Chadicks offering them for $250,000. How much does Tony want for them now?

It's a new pricing system. It is POR. WTF?

Good luck getting them to reply to a request for a price by email. And I really wanted a shot at them this time.

Their presumption, probably, is that if you are serious about buying them you'll be willing to pay for a long distance phone call.

maybe they are too embarrassed to post it.

Tony Galazan and Lou Frutoso have come from nothing and built a major business making fine shotguns and buying and reselling classic maker guns. I doubt they are embarrassed about anything. They have also been significant supporters and friends of the PGCA. We recently spent time with Lou trying to explain that the unpleasant forum comments of a few are not representative of the PGCA as a whole and we thanked them for the past participation and hoped their goodwill would continue.

Like anything costly, why create a buzz about how much it costs. People know certain guns are expensive, and like fine cars, art, anything, if you have interest and are more than a tire kicker, a serious person will call. Call on a cell phone under a minutes plan if a person is concerned about the buck or two to call and talk to Lou.

Its a fine Parker, rare, highly unusual, and its one I can admire but leave to the wealthy, and maybe someday get to handle. In the meantime, I'll go back to my old beaters and kinda wish I had the means to get involved in something like those guns.

I think its only logical not to post a price on this item. If they do sell, the buyer deserves the right to have that info, and he can do with it what he wants. He paid for that right. We just need a buyer to step forward. Dave

Just playing devil's advocate, here, but Herschel advertised the Green guns for $250,000 and no one has any idea how much was paid for them. Does Lou really have time to answer phone call from everyone who "wants to know"? I like Tony and Lou a lot, but they're men and don't need BD to defend them.

So do you think Julia's should keep all the auction sales prices secret?

They can if they wish to. It's their call and how they decide to do business. I personally like knowing the numbers as it helps to get a sense of the mkt.
