Wow is right Robin! I wonder... a sign of our lousy economy? Or has our beloved Parkers topped out....or both.

Would you say that it "pays" or "doesn't pay" to set a reserve??

I think it "pays" by protecting your investment. Guaranteed there were a lot of people who intended to capitalize in this auction because of the economy.

No Dave, I don't believe Parkers have "topped out" but for the time being I think they are stable with regard to the economy.

The Julia website does not seem to like me(they may not be the only ones! )
and will not let me register to see the results. Can anyone tell me which ones did not sell? I thought the prices were fair considering the condition of the guns.

Robin,

My notes show the original VHE 410ga at 23k, not 32k.

Josh,

I checked my notes.... you are correct. Another type-:o for me.

Oh boy, hear it comes. :duck:

Robin

Only 23K for a field used VHE .410 skeet. What is the world coming to?

Actually - a well used VHE skeet... Plus the commission/premium..???

Amazing....

Bill, From the way your post was worded, I didn't think you knew that Lee Marvin had passed away ... That sort of thing happens to all of us at one time or another ... If you took offense ... I sincerely apologize !
