Went to a local auction that had 6 VH 12 ga. advertised. Looked them over and the last one to come up seemed the best to me. The first went for 1800.00 after spirited bidding and i had 400.00 in my pocket and the start was 600.00 on each. Sat there dejected as they sold the next 4 above what i had. the last did not get a bid at 600.0 or 5 or 4. When the auctioneer said 3 i i raised my paddle and bought my first Parker 35 or 40 years ago. Today i may have waited for him to say 200.00 but would not take that chance then. It is still my most often used 12 ga.
