A few things to consider here. We will be at the mercy of the quality of the posters picture taking ability. What we will be able to offer is an opinion based on these pictures. How many times have we looked at a gun the second time and noticed something we didn't see the first time? A small crack or bulge or whatever and these problems would have a huge effect on value. How many times have you had a conversation with a fellow PGCA member about the value of a particular gun and found that the both of you were miles apart?

What I think I am trying to say here is that I don't believe there is an accurate way to value a gun by pictures on the internet. The gun must be in hand. I like many of us have bought guns on the net only to send them back after a close inspection.

Not trying to be a spoil sport here just interjecting my concerns. Someone said "A slippery slope" I would have to agree. One of our primary purposes is to educate visitors about our beloved Parker Gun not dissapoint them.

Personally I will not value a gun posted here for numerous reasons.The main reason is I don't think I'm qualified.
