8 gauge

[Big Friend Ten (BFT)]

Gentlemen,

Let us keep this thread about our member obtaining a highly desired Parker 8 gauge.

Let us NOT digress into someone took advantage of the poor widower gun shop owner!

No widows were put on the poor farm over this purchase!

PS: If one gets a fantastic deal on a Parker then treat that like your salary. Keep it private or someone will get jealous...

Have a wonderful day!

Gentlemen,

As I stated on page 5 of this thread, we are done discussing if anyone got ripped off concerning this 8 gauge.

Because of this I had to delete a couple posts today. Sorry guys but that stuff causes an otherwise good thread to go downhill in a hurry!

If you want to discuss ethics you are welcome to start a new thread in the Members Only Off Topic sub-forum.

Forget that business about cheating widows as Mark suggests. I bought my first eight gauge Parker from a Griffin and Howe employee, an experienced trader in antique guns, for $470.00 after it sat on his gun show table for three days. At the same show at another time, I bought a Lindner 16 gauge hammer gun, the only one I have ever seen or heard of, for $700.00, from an experienced dealer in antique guns. If you don't buy it, someone else will, and they will flip it and you will add it to your collection. I would rather see such guns added to collections rather than being "flipped".
