Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
I received a few shotguns from my grandfather that he wants me to sell. I am hoping that someone here can give me more information about them and what they are worth.
I am much more of a knife collector, so I am a bit out of my realm here. I will attach a few pictures and can provide more pics if needed. One is a really rusted Parker Bros model that someone told my grandfather might be worth more rusted than cleaned up.. The other is a King Nitro that is in much better condition.
The person who corresponded with your Grandfather was right. The Parker is worth more in its present condition than it would be if cleaned up. When you establish a value on that gun, let us know and you will probably find a buyer here.

But as a Forum Associate you are not alllowed to sell a gun here. You will need to buy an annual membership for $40 to do so.

I see you didnt join the PGCA and may have paid a $100 for your letter which doesnt show anything special the gun is in rough condition I have bought alot better for 350 so if you stick anymore into the gun I think you would be on the losing end. Parting it out may be an option.
Talan I think your best bet with the Parker is to list it on gunbroker with a penny starting price. You might get lucky and get someone like me to bid with little to no self control and a “win no matter the cost” attitude. I doubt anyone here would want it for anything other than parts - if they aren’t too far eaten away. The poor thing wasn’t taken care of properly. I would make a cool wall hanger though.
