This gun and the super nice 16 DH that recently sold here on the forum proves that high condition Parkers still bring a good price. The market for high condition Parkers seems relatively strong.

Not to hijack the thread, but I’ve been saying it for a while - the guns that are selling well are all original and in nice higher condition. People who feel the market is weak are trying to sell beaters and field guns at 2006 prices.

Yes. Good guns will still sell at strong prices. Condition really is everything and always will be.

I agree with you Brian about Condition as critical element and factor. In real estate parlance that is like saying Location, Location, Location. However we all know markets forces can be a little more complex and tricky to comprehend sometimes with many vagaries. Here is an anomaly on condition that is not reflective on suggested price. BTw I know referencing anything maybe on Kevins site is probably a true outlier.

Early in my "collecting career" I was told by major collectors that had been doing it for years that the factors affecting VALUE were:
BRAND
ORIGINALLITY
CONDITION
RARITY
SUPPLY & DEMAND
PRICE

Pretty much common sense when it comes to most any collectibles!

Another key ingredient in shotgun values is always gauge.

Bill Mullins hit us with an interesting list of criteria. In today's world, there are otherwise nice guns for sale that couldn't be sold at any price. The utility of a worn out Parker VH starts at about the price of an average Mossburg. We are learning that when we put our worn out guns on the gun show table or on a gun website. Learn to live with your low grade white guns with short wood rather than selling them.
