Well Alex, I guess you have confused me, to tell the truth. I was only responding to your original post which states, "I'm trying to estimate value for insurance purposes....any opinions of value would be appreciated". Most people define "value" as the price a reasonable buyer would pay a reasonable seller within a reasonable time in a well advertised setting. I merely mentioned that because the stock has been cut, the value of this Parker to a reasonable and well informed buyer would be significantly reduced, while also noting that there is little harm in over-insuring the gun in the event of loss.
If my opinion of value, which you explicitly solicited, somehow offended you, then I do apologize for that. But nothing in my post warrants your belligerent and condescending public response. If you really felt the need to tell me off, you could have done that via PM. While we members do often disagree and argue about all things Parker, we simply do not treat each other like that here at the PGCA, which is why I like being a member. Hopefully you will keep that in mind in your future posts to others.
Enjoy your father in law's Parker. It is a real beauty and priceless family heirloom indeed.
