Word about town

[GH-16]

I find this entire thing to be more than a little crazy. Just from watching this from the side lines. I've determined that I will have this dealer on my caution beware list, if not on the outright do not deal with list.

That's just me and I hope I haven't stepped out of line or offended anyone.

Some of the comments about this Parker are sounding just like a bunch of old "biddys" in the basement of a church on bingo night or someone peeping over a fence with binoculars observing the goings on at the new neighbor's house. For Christ's sake, the seller is obligated to the consignor to make as much on the sale as possible, and most likely is being strongly guided by what the owner says and wants. If I consigned a gun, that is what I would want. I don't think it's trickery or espionage, or caring where the gun ends up, it's just a sale of rare gun, that's all. That is why I spend very little time commenting on discussion forums compared to most, because things can go way off topic or over the top sometimes and I usually just sign off and forget about it. But this time the conversation just got too ridiculous and comical for me to bear. This thread makes me think I'm really reading it on Doublegun, BBS. More than myself, I'm sure, would hope to have the chance to do what the consignor has done. If you just look at it for what it is, instead of through envy or trying to figure what kind of a scheme is going on, there is not much to talk about.

Except the fact that it is a fabulous BHE 20 in very nice condition and in a very desirable configuration.

Now that, I can agree with!

Bird season is just around the corner. Not only that, the seller has M-1 Carbine ammunition and a consecutive pair of camo Browning duck guns to sell.

I completely agree with everything you said! I will not purchase from, or sell to, a flipper but everyone need to eat
This is a great thread with several different but valid points of view.

I think the new owner (The Flipper) has great expectations as to the true value of his investment.

As I have mentioned before according to TPS only about 6 guns were produced with straight grip and 32 inch barrels. I know the whereabouts of three and two of them are for sale.

Ok so .........the auction goes off at 48K
The gun is for sale (still there) on GI for 50K #100726105
The high bidder and dealer can't get together on this gun? They can't find a price point to satisfy each other????
What is the high bidder thinking??? I will pay 48K but not 49K or 50k??? I am going to hold out for the next one ...
How about the seller? That extra 2K or less is gonna break the deal??? only a 13K profit in a week is unaccepatble??? He has to get all 15K????
Really......is it still unresonable to conclude the high bidder (who bid right up to the resrve but did not hit it) was a ghost....
If he is real he should be shouldering the gun right now.
Guns like that don't likely get passed over for another 2-4% - not in this market.
If he is real and out there, I hope we hear from this mysterious bidder. I would love to hear his though process on this whole........... cherade.

Real bidder? Hardly.
