Need advice, which auction house would/did you use?

[Gerald McPherson]

Robert; Where do you live? That sure looks one I looked at recently.

Thank you everyone for your responses, I will try to address them. Dean, I am aware of the rule on Forum Associate selling. I thought by having "which auction house would/did you use" in the same sentence implied that I was not attempting to sell here. I stand corrected, thank you.

David, I thought that percentage was high as well. My mistake in the ejectors, it says extractors. More pictures coming.

B. Dudley, I was thinking auction houses because it is mentioned in the FAQ here and the appraiser mentioned it as well. The consignments around here will only give store credit. How would I go about advertising for a local private sale?

Todd, my wife and I don't have children, nor do my siblings, two sisters. No one really close left to leave it to. Decided to sell now because when I pass my wife will not have to deal with selling. After seeing how much of a hassle it was for my sister-in-law when my brother passed, I think it would be much better to sell now. This way some one else can enjoy it rather then it sitting here as I surely will not be shooting it.

Edgar, I may consider your suggestions.

Randy, see above, and thank you.

PML, my mistake on the ejectors. How many guns have you sold on Gunbroker and what were the positives and negatives of going that route?

Robert, thanks for responding. A lot of folks here consider what you did as "trolling" whether that was your intent or not. I would be very surprised to learn that you didn't receive a single Private Message asking what you hope to get for your gun. That's how trolling works... you didn't actually break the rules by saying you'd like to sell it and you didn't suggest a value either... BUT you did say that you wanted to sell it. Some folks see it as a very fine line but I don't. But then, I'm not a Forum Moderator

Hi Gerald, I live in Pennsylvania and until now no one outside the family knew of it or has even seen it.

Robert nice looking gun and wherever you decide to sell please let us know .

Dean - Aren't private Messages available only to members?

[GHPA]

Dean, I have not received a Private Message and to those thinking of doing so, Please Do Not. If I decide to I will do as is required and pay the $40.00 to become an Annual Member.

Winplumber, will do.

Robert, I wish you the best of luck in selling that fine GH. It is a beautiful gun in high original condition and should command a very good price.

May I suggest that you join the PGCA and place it in the for sale section at a premium price. If it doesn't sell slowly drop your price until it does. If that does not get you an amount that satisfies you then move it elsewhere. You may be surprised what higher condition Parker will bring when offered to collectors. The one I looked at was priced at $4200. I was told it is gone but I do not know what it sold or traded for. Hope this helps. The gun I looked at was in higher condition from what your pictures show.
