The guns are listed on gunrunner. Page 1 has both trojans

I have felt that there were straw bidders on
Several sites. I was buying 1 to 2 Parkers a month and fixing up most of the guns that needed a little work. Several times I noticed
That an unknown bidder with no history would bid in the last few seconds and keep on bidding no matter what price. I would follow up and I suspected that the seller would register a fake bidder. This caused me to lose interest. Have others had this experience?

The simple lesson here is that you can't look at a sample group of two of anything and expect to come away with 'proof' of anything.

That's a good point too, Greg. I know that collector interest on either gun would be nil. But,
I thought it interesting to watch these two guns go head to head.

The $900 gun was a full Del Grego restoration. It was a great buy at that price.

Jerry, how did you determine that "The site was listed as the seller"?

Jerry Harlow 09-16-2014 09:26 AM

Bill,

You go to bid history and the seller is listed there. Sometimes it is the site and other times an individual. You can ask the "seller" a question.

Thanks for the information.
