Go on the Julia website, click on the March auction. When the search option comes up, enter "parker" and enjoy yourselves. I would rather be there, but that won't happen unless I have a travelling companion. I'm not driving to Maine by myself.

[Stephen Hodges]

Nice

[Larry Mason]

Mr. Murphy,
I was going to go but my buddy, Fiskell Clift and his wife Sequester (kin to Geronimo's
winter squaw) were going to pay for the gas and just backed out. So I'll just stay here in Virginia.

[Rich Anderson]

I haven't received a catalog yet.....It must mean I get to hold onto my cash untill the Southern:rotf:

[Bill Murphy]

I just received my catalog and the Parkers are only the tip of the iceburg.

[Robin Lewis]

Anyone attend the auction?

I would like to know the hammer prices on the Parker guns in this week's auction, if anyone knows them.

Any general observations on the bidding: motivated or asleep-- prices:strong or weak,.... etc? Carry guns and "black" guns are hot now, what about the collectable guns; are they gaining interest too?

[Bill Davis]

The prices of Parker's have not gone down. There were some strong prices today.
2270. A-1Special 20 ga. 155K

2271. AAHE 20 ga. 70K

2272. AAHE 12ga. Pigeon. 27.5K

2273. AHE 12ga. Pigeon. 22.5K

2276. GH 28 a whopping 51K

These are just the higher priced guns and you have to add the buyers premium!

[allen newell]

Those prices make the BHE posted in the for sale forum affordable!

[edgarspencer]

Any idea what 1210 went for?

[Jim DiSpagno]

Edgar, Lot 1210 sold for $200,000.00 plus premium. Jim

[Steve Huffman]

Just a Question , Should this be in the Off Topic section ?

[edgarspencer]

Edgar, Lot 1210 sold for $200,000.00 plus premium. Jim

So even the heavy money are holding back. Guess they don't believe the economy is all that great. That gun sold for well over that 10-12 years ago.

[Steve Huffman]

oops my bad edited

[edgarspencer]

Yes, I saw the $200k. The gun was expected to bring upwards of $350, and was, if I recall,sold previously for over $250k
