You don't have to wait til bingo night, you already have it here. I think some of you are just flat out pissed because you either didn't get to this gun first or couldn't afford it if you would have. And that reaction is truly funny!

What I wanted is the GH 20 gauge with 32" barrels that recently sold on Gunbroker. It was out of my price range, but not way out. It also had honest wear, so you wouldn't feel guilty about using it.

Mills, I'm shocked that gun went for what it did.... I was the first bidder and kept watching until it started to get silly.
Last year David Trevallion had an identical gun in his shop that had been there for years, (owner couldn't decide what he wanted done), except the gun at his shop had an original stock. It was apparently not for sale, as I had made an extremely attractive offer but the owner said it was a family heirloom and he wouldn't sell at any price.

Scott, there comes a point where common-sense economics needs to come into play... enough is enough!

I've played that game before - "Damn the price tag - Full speed ahead!" and have been 'upside-down' on a gun. Never again! (file that under "Famous Last Words")

Getting upside down on a few guns is just the price of admission to this hobby

There was a nice straight grip GHE 20 with 32" vent rib barrels in the Julia Auction several years ago. I thought I was gonna buy it...man was I wrong about that!

Everytime I have passed on a small bore parker because it was 10% or even 15% higher than I would ever consider paying in my wildest fits of abandon......I wake up a couple years later and see one like it sell for more! Then I think of all the times I could have carried shouldered and shot that gun and still been $$$ ahead. Its easy to lose money on guns. You have to reallllllllly overpay to lose money on small bores....(20 ga GH ejector straight grip 32" you dont see those everyday)....and even then you most likely can just wait it out.

Anybody have any long barrel 20 bores they want to sell? please send me a PM
