Easy to buy, hard to sell. Buy the best original condition Parker you can afford. Find a experienced collector to hold your hand. Go slow, become a student before you part with cash.

Coming from the guy who wont even spend a dime with a food vendor at a shoot. Too expensive.

ALL PARKER'S are the same on the inside, the higher grades have more lipstick in various shades. In other words a Trojan will do any thing a AAHE will do. Save your money for now, all those high priced Parkers will be dropping in the near future. More than 80% of the Parker Guys are Old Guys :):) and their high priced Parkers with be Low Priced Parkers shortly. :):)

Maybe the same type folks who buy vintage autos, vintage motorcycles, coins, art, wine etc? Folks have been collecting various items for a long time. I suppose there could be a sudden end to that trend. Only time will tell.

The world collects the items you mentioned. May be wrong here, but are a significant number of Parkers owned outside the USA? You are right; time will tell. Got a BHE to sell some day and hope I can get my 20k back...lol.
