So the guy has your VH and $3000 of your money? Are these both 12ga guns, or small bores? The first thing is that the value of a restored shotgun is never more than the cost of the restoration, unless the gun has significant provenance or rarity. Do your own market research online regarding the actual value of Parker shotguns. Don't pay attention to the asking prices you see. Look for guns that have actually sold. Is the VH AND $3000 worth the GH they are offering? Possible, although unlikely, imo. It would have to be a really nice GH. Condition is everything, but know that you can buy a fairly nice GH for $3000 in most parts. Even then it sounds like you'd still be out your original gun. That doesn't sound like a deal I would accept.
