Well....we all gotta make money appear in our bank accounts, I guess, but I've always had a lot more respect for people who do something, produce something, or add value to something than those who simply are opportunists. I think the universe would be far happier to see the gun (any gun) sell to someone who will use it to shoot and cherish it than someone who thinks he can use it to transfer money from someone else's bank account to his next week. Incredibly old-fashioned and out of fashion ideas, I know. At the end of the day...I'm not at all convinced there was any error made by the previous seller. Mainly because I'm thinking $35K for such a gun is probably very close to 'market price'...if not at the high end of the range. Time will tell...

Comment from near the grassy knoll...
at the risk of speaking out of turn.....
does anyone else find it a bit curious that the bidding stopped very very close to the stated (on this site) "reserve" (or sellers desired price 49K or 50+K).....????? No requirement to buy as reserve was not met..........sure makes for a nice set up when the buy it now price is posted.... Were the high end bidders friends of ours on this site? I do not recognize them? just one man's opinion.....I have probably said too much. Goodness gracious that is a sweet little gun!!!! |

It is a sweet gun...a lot sweeter at 35K. IMHO 50k is out of line.

My guess is the seller is looking to strike a deal with one of the top bidders

I find this entire thing to be more than a little crazy. Just from watching this from the side lines. I've determined that I will have this dealer on my caution beware list, if not on the outright do not deal with list.
That's just me and I hope I haven't stepped out of line or offended anyone. |

Some of the comments about this Parker are sounding just like a bunch of old "biddys" in the basement of a church on bingo night or someone peeping over a fence with binoculars observing the goings on at the new neighbor's house. For Christ's sake, the seller is obligated to the consignor to make as much on the sale as possible, and most likely is being strongly guided by what the owner says and wants. If I consigned a gun, that is what I would want. I don't think it's trickery or espionage, or caring where the gun ends up, it's just a sale of rare gun, that's all. That is why I spend very little time commenting on discussion forums compared to most, because things can go way off topic or over the top sometimes and I usually just sign off and forget about it. But this time the conversation just got too ridiculous and comical for me to bear. This thread makes me think I'm really reading it on Doublegun, BBS. More than myself, I'm sure, would hope to have the chance to do what the consignor has done. If you just look at it for what it is, instead of through envy or trying to figure what kind of a scheme is going on, there is not much to talk about.
