Default Parker prices at RI auction seemed strong?
With all the uncertainty in the world it seems Parker prices at the Rock Island Auction last weekend were strong but not outrageous? I was not a player but it's always fun to sit on my hands. What say U?

I watched (some). The DHE 28 gauge went for less than I anticipated.

I thought it might go alittle higher also but it brought $22,375 with the 17.5% buyers premium. Their estimate was 15 to 25000. It really wasn't much of a collector piece but would have made a nice gun to take out in the field or sporting clays. They sold a much better VHE-28 ga. in the auction.

I agree with Dan, Gary. You did well, and I think you’ll enjoy shooting it. I know I sure like mine.

I agree Gary - .016-.018” MWT is not a gun anyoue should buy with plans to shoot it.

I thought the VH-410 ( lot 507)might have sold alittle higher than $25000 but it wasn't in the best condtion to get the collector price.

Certainly not like the VHE .410 Skeet gun in the last Guyette & Deeter auction that hammered at $66k…
