Why the high price on .410 and 28 gauge Parker shotguns?

[Bob Jurewicz]

Here is a reasonable one we all could have bought.

This shotgun was my inspiration for this thread. I wanted to bid on this one but got blown out of the water. It’s safe to say that the winning bid of $110,000 which, when you add in buyers premium, was about 6 figures higher than I could afford. I would have bid $25k, maybe a little more to outbid someone on it.

I don’t see how this is a $132,000 shotgun?

The sold for price does reflect the Buyers Premium.

Yup, the $132,000 figure includes the buyer's premium. The bid was $110,000.

Yes, I’m well aware that the $132,000 is $110,000 plus buyer’s premium of 20%, making it $132,000. I just don’t see how this shotgun is actually worth $132,000. It seems like a lot for very little.

Two folks willing to pay $100k for it, and one willing to go to $110k. Seems like a battle of egos.

The gun is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

I would say that is true about any firearm.

One of the larger shops here in Virginia had a very nice Grade 1 Browning B-S/S in 12 gauge on their Gun Broker feed. No box, just clean with what looked like little use. It was the standard pistol grip with 26" barrels.

I watched it out of curiosity, and it sold for 3K.

Somebody wanted it, for sure.
