Oh definitely. He left me quite a few guns, and I am only interested in selling a couple of them. These older/collector types would just sit in the gun case, and as I am not really into gun collecting, I'd rather use the newer ones that I personally like better.

If I were you, that Parker is one I would keep! Won't eat anything in the gun case, and will only grow in value.:envy::)

The 28 gauge M12 is worth a bunch! I, for one would be interested in it. Where do you live? It may be worth taking the guns you want to sell to a reputable dealer, and let him handle the sale for you.

Brandon, please keep in mind that the sale of firearms on this forum is a privilege extended only to PGCA Members, therefor, you cannot sell a gun here unless and until you become a PGCA Member. The price for an annual membership is $40 and you can join from our home page.

That being said - if you are serious about selling the 20 ga. DH you would be cheating yourself if you let it go for less than $5K.... provided it has no serious issues. I am reluctant to give values on guns here for obvious reasons and I won't do it in this case either but I think it is necessary to establish a minimum base price so that you are not taken advantage of.

Remember, you can't sell it here.

Brandon, I second what Dean said and would add that the 28 gauge model12 should bring you between $3000 and $5000, depending on condition. I, personally, would not take either gun to a gun dealer and ask for an offer. In most cases you would receive horribly low ball offers.

You will sell/keep some of your Dad's guns. The criteria you set was keep the newer ones for use and sell the older/collector guns. IF you need the money that is understandable. IF you are a hunter, consider this. Many of the older guns are now valuable collector pieces BECAUSE they proved themselves admirably in the field decade after decade. IF they are sound guns, they will continue to provide a field experience you just don't get with some new plastic camo gun. I would experience your Dad's guns in the field as my first step in deciding who stays and who goes. My oldest gun is from 1878 and it still brings game to the table. As for selling the Parker, if that's what has to be, join this forum. Best $$ you will spend. You definitely won't get ripped off here because the folks know these guns, appreciate these guns and will pay fair price for these guns. I would sell my own guns before I would ever sell my Dad's guns but I'm too sentimental that way I guess. Good luck to you.

Perhaps I should amend my post to say "Consign your gun to a reputable dealer", I wouldn't sell it outright. You might investigate folks like Jaqua's (jaquas.com) They will take something like 15-20% of the sale price, but the gun is receiving national exposure.
