Default Parker Market Back?

After watching this auction close, I have to wonder whether this was just an aberration in the market place, or a sign that the Parker market has come roaring back? I see a 12 gauge DHE with limited eye appeal that has been restocked rather crudely, with no SSBP, and a trigger guard that started life on a pistol grip stock. Perhaps I'm missing something about this gun, or perhaps its a sign that the Parker buyers' market is now over.

I know! I was watching that auction early on myself. I stopped paying attention a while ago when it went over $1500. Did not see what it ended at till now. WAY too much for the gun given the incorrect restock and such.

A gun like this is not part of the "Parker Market".

My son sold a Lefever on GB about a month ago that had been restored, he listed it as no reserve and a penny starting price. I figured he would be fortunate to get $1400. it sold for $3750. Yea never know but two bidders wanted the gun. I have sold a few guns recently they seem to move quickly if market priced, better than 2007-2008.

Maybe now is a good time to unload all those Wells Fargo Parker coach guns.

Not too familiar with the Wells Fargo scams but do 'they' go so far as to forge receipts for guns sold by Well Fargo?

Interesting... This DHE is back up on the market by the same seller. Maybe there was some buyers remorse.

The key phrase in the sellers post on this gun is "all original pieces". underscore "pieces" I guess technically the seller might have been correct. Got to read the fine print.
