Repro Price Appreciation

[ForrestArmstrong]

There have been a few discussions on whether repros would ever appreciate in value to levels near originals. If it holds, how's this for price appreciation? Perhaps Larry Baer's set was not such a bad deal afterall.

In the past year a similar 410-28-28 A1 set was priced at 50K...it was sold. Price it sold for is unknown? Hard to find repro's are doing well and not so hard to sell!

Common 20 gauge Repros are selling for close to original prices. These are great bargains on the used gun market. They are as good as original Parker Brothers guns and are available in scarce variations such as ejectors, single triggers, beavertail forearms, and extra barrel sets. Compare this to original guns with these features.

I think the Who had a song that describes this guys situation "Dreamer".

No reserve, but a $75 K minimum bid?

20 gauge guns I believe are still a bargain. However, I believe they are kinda heavy for a field gun. I once had a two trigger 20 gauge with 28" barrels and it weighed just shy of 7 lbs. Just didn't work for a field gun so I moved it on. I believe the 12 and 28 ga guns are where they should be from the weight perspective. 'Both are still available with a bit of mileage on them for very good prices.
