I’m with you on refinishing. I don’t see the value I’m not giving a gun proper maintenance. I’d much rather buy a shotgun that’s been refinished and reblacked when needed.

I also know where John Davis is going. Although a Parker is a better choice than a Mossburg 500 for many uses, there are thousands of other guns that are as good or better than a Parker for many uses. I choose to use a Parker for all uses, but I realize that other guns are almost as good. I guess we aren't addressing the OP's question, but it's still fun to discuss collector value of refinished guns and how much of the value is in utility and how much is in collector interest. Mister Davis and I put almost equal value in both categories. I am a collector, but shoot every discipline with my Parkers, rarely use any other gun. However, some Parker guys rarely shoot their guns and all value is in collector interest.
