allen: you bring up an interesting topic. what is the motivation behind the purchase of new high end consumer products, such as cars, boats, guns and the like? most of us of limited means look upon our purchases primarily for their utilitarian value, and perhaps with parker shotguns in mind, a certain hope for future monetary gain via appreciation. it is a winning situation when one can experience the pleasure of ownership, the pleasure of use and the realistic hope of profit from our investments. parker shotguns are one of the few consumer products that offer it all...so why would anyone buy high end newly made firearms, when experience clearly shows that for the most part they depreciate in value and may take more than a life time to appreciate back to their original cost?
