New to Parkers

[todd allen]

A friend of mine picked up a couple of Parkers, and would like to know the value of his new aquisitions.
The first one is a 32" VHE, SN# 206524, no. 2 frame, with the stock cut off to 13 1/4" lop from the front trigger to the wood.
Here are some pics:

Put a nice pad on the gun and put the floorplate screws in the correct holes and that will be a screaming great Parker. How about the reproduction No Shoc pad that Galazan sells?

The second gun is Parker No. 182110, a 30" VH, 1 1/2 Frame 14 1/4" LOP to a DHBP, 1 5/8" DAC, 2 7/8" DAH IMO an honest, un-touched gun.

He wants me to move these guns for him on Auction Arms. What kind of value would you put on it?

[Ed Blake]

Look at Asking prices for similar guns on all of the auction websites, take an average, subtract 15% and you will move them. Great guns.

[todd allen]

Where would you set the reserve on these guns?

[David Holes]

If you want to sell do not put a reserve on them. Guns with small issues don't bring big money. Nice original vh's can be gotten for 1000-1500 dollars. Your pictures don't show nice original.

[Ed Blake]

Ditto what David said.

[todd allen]

Thanks David.

[Bill Murphy]

If you put a reserve on them on auctionarms, you will not get serious bidding. The most successful sellers start at .01 without reserve and describe the guns completely.
