Also on Gunbroker this morning. A good ole fashion quick flip!

Gunbroker. How do you do both?

[Brian H]

They post their phone number and direct e-mail to force a direct transaction also the majority of shops have there entire inventory for sale on GB. As long as the reserve is never hit the auction can be ended whenever, with no sale. Look through Gunbroker and you will find 1,000's of ad's like that. GB is pretty cheap advertising for a shops inventory.

What a beautiful example from a great period of Parker production. A very elegant small bore with long barrels-----George? Dean?? Somebody???

Craig- I just bought a John Deere tractor..........

BTW what is his POR?

[GH-16]

Anybody have the price yet? I love the ad: Consignment, as-is, no returns, USPS Money order only, 500.00 shipping charge.

GEEZ, A gun like this without an inspection period! Can you imagine strolling into your branch post office with at least $35,000.00 in cash and asking for money orders. You would be there for hours filling them out.

[Todd Schrock]

Well, it looks like we may know the price in two weeks.....the gun is listed on GB with the current bid at $20,000.00

The seller, a dealer, implies that the guy who bought the gun recently got into a pinch with his old lady and is now wanting to sell it to make her once again docile. Or at least less beastly, as the case may be. Well, I can't say I admire his sense of priorities but the gun sure looks nice. I especially like the flowers engraved on the sides.

Yes, an absolute sweetheart... lets see where it goes.

It certainly could have nicer wood. For a grade 5 I would expect some nicely figured French or Turkish walnut.

Don't believe any more from most of these folks than from most used car dealers......surprised the story wasn't more of a tear jerker like his dog needed an operation.

POR is price on request.
