Are Parker prices up, down or what??
I just looked at a local gun, and to my mind it's crazy over priced. Private sale 20g Trojan for $5200 with 28" tubes
I tried to tell the seller he was on crack, and showed him some sold listings, but he wasn't listening and held his price so I walked. Quickly. This is the SECOND 20g Trojan at or above the 5K mark in the past several weeks I've come across. These are good+ condition field guns not mint by any means. Is there any way to tell if Parker prices are rising, falling or doing anything in particular? Let's remove GB from the equation because that tends to bring out stupidity. I'm still new at this, and sometimes I'm just floored at what people are asking for things. So is this the result of the mania we're in or are prices truly expanding for Parkers (or American SxS for that matter)? By comparison he also had a 12g LC Smith hammer gun with Damascus barrels that seemed very very solid and pretty good dimensions and I think I can grab that for about $1,300. Sometimes when things start making sense they make no sense
