Inflation and Parker Prices

[Scott Smith]

More than a 1/2 dozen Parkers that sold at the Guyette & Deeter auction just one month ago, are now listed for sale on the internet at 2-3x their hammer prices.

Scott,
You should understand that markup. Think of all the extra expense the new seller incurred fabricating guns with problems into mint vintage originals.

[Brian Dudley]

Where are these guns and who is selling them? Examples?

Brian,

The ones I have seen are lots 237, 248, 254, 257, 258, 259 from the G&D auction. They are now being listed by CSMC on GI.

[Dean Romig]

Tony has always done that.

Interesting. Buy at retail, sell at super-retail. At least you have some idea what they have in the guns.

[Bill Murphy]

Funny, and we thought the Guyette prices were over the top.

[John Bastiani]

Buyer Beware: These guns are listed with a "NO Return Policy". I think 5 of the 6 guns listed were restored at some point and are not mentioned as such in the Guns International description. Thanks to Guyette and Deeter(Josh Lowensteiner) who gave honest and more detailed descriptions in their catalog.

[Craig Larter]

Buyer Beware- A bunch of Fox guns have also grown new case colors recently and are marked No Return.

[Phil Yearout]

Economics in Father Guido Sarducci's Five Minute University: Buy low. sell high. In this case it seems it's buy high, sell higher.

[Bill Murphy]

Craig, what Guyette lot numbers of Fox guns have you identified as having new case colors in resale offers?
