Parker Fair Market valuations west coast

[B. Dudley]

You have a good sounding group of guns there that could be worth $5,000 as a group or could be worth $15,000 as a group.

Best to have them evaluated by someone who knows better to make sure you do not short change yourself if you decide to sell.

Thanks for the tip. That's exactly what I'm trying to do.

Not sure how close he would be to you, but David Fjeline is a forum member who lives out that way. I have done business with him and found him to be fair and many consider him to be knowledgeable. He is getting ready to head to the southern when I spoke with him yesterday, but you can give him a holer.

Fjelline is a very knowledgable honest man. He lives in N. California, Lincoln to be exact.

If you post good quality photos of each gun from a variety of angles, the members here will probably be able to give you a good idea of reasonable fair market value.

If you didn't get a membership list when you joined, you might request one. Then you will know if you have neighbors who know Parkers. In the meantime, you might post some pictures here. As Brian Dudley suggested, your guns will bring $10,000 if in very average condition, less if they lack originality or are damaged.

I should really stay out of this as there are many much more Knowledgeable folks her on the forum than me, but $10K for all three guns may be a tad bit low, of course considering the condition, etc of the three guns. A quick search of Julia's auction of last month turned up a "Decent CHE 12 Gauge" that sold for $8625. And I would think even a average condition DHE 16 Gauge gun is a pretty valuable gun. JMHO. I know that there are auction fees involved, but still.

We can all take a guess, but it's not really a conversation worth having without taking a looksey at the goods first. They could easily be worth twice that price, but could just as easily be worth half. Julia's usually deals in high end guns, and they spend a lot in advertising to bring the right crowd, premium price and don't forget the buyers premium!! I'm pretty confident a seller could pocket about the same amount of cash selling a decent gun here as he/she could after paying to auction it off. No matter what, we need to see them first!!

IMHO, if a gun has a value of 20,000+ you are better off selling it at Julias. The seller commission over 20, 000 is 0% with the purchaser paying 15%. If the gun is below 20,000 each , than you are best served selling it here.
Julias does a great job on high grade high condition Parkers as seen in the last few auctions.

THANK YOU for the tip. I have contacted Parker and they are sending me the list.
