Steve Barnett is an honest man, but I would not advise you on what to do. Guns on the Parker site are described and there are pictures that lets the buyer see what he is getting. The then the seller names his price. Many times I have seen the asking price drop, but never go up.

I have dealt with Steve for close to 20 years. We just closed a deal on a gun and I have the tracking number. No money has changed hands. It will come and if I approve (which I undoubtedly will) I'll send him some trades and some hard earned dollars.

He is a person you can trust.

On page 25 of the current Parker Pages is an ad by Amoskeag Auction Co. depicting a DHE 28 ga. Parker for which they received $37,950. Based on condition and options your gun maybe worth more or less than the gun advertised. About 20 years ago I had a friend who had a $20,000 Purdey stolen from a well known REPUTABLE dealer when he placed his gun on consignment, but the contract was verbal. Steve B. maybe more honest than god but if he should die before any verbal contract is completed you are screwed.
