Sometimes, you just see an Auction on GB that makes you chuckle, just a little bit.....

"no reserve" but $5000 opening bid. how exactly does that work?

Minimum bid is $5000, if no one out bids you, it's yours.... :D In essence, the seller is openly telling you what the reserve price is by starting at the minimum they will accept for it. :rolleyes:

Looks like barrels are 18.5. Barely legal

The same seller has a couple of model-21's listed on GB with the same lofty descriptions & prices on guns with similar issues to this Parker.

Just another example of a fishing expedition looking for that uninformed fish to take the bait. In this case it may be an uninformed dealer who took the bait:shock::rotf:

I often find myself bewildered how this type of seller can end up with an average review of A+ and only one negative remark in the past 12 months? The entire description is hearsay beyond the stated factual information of the PGCA letter; and as Paul pointed out, plenty of their listings are overpriced hearsay. I suppose none of it is verifiably false, but surely none of it is verifiably true. The assessment of condition is a bit of a stretch to say the least....

The good reviews are probably from his other accounts

The gun is on consignment by a retired bank robber.
