SENDING MY COLLECTION TO AUCTION

[C grade]

George
My recent experience , conversations with several dealers, and auction house results has shown me that the SxS market is definitely in the loo and someone pulled the handle. This is especially true of 12ga and even true of small ga Parkers. This too will pass but maybe not in our lifetime. In the high grade , high condition market 2 of maybe 5-6 buyers have backed away.
Best of luck

George, I'm sorry I've come to this thread late, but I am truly sorry for your loss of your daughter. I simply do not know how empty one must feel loosing a child. The holidays are the toughest time, worse if you don't know the true meaning of Christmas.
I have several friends who work for WHOI, and The Nat'l Marine Fisheries Lab in Kingston RI. I will let my good friend Jack know, as he knew anybody and everybody.
I am at the age where I too, should be thinking of thinning my collection down, but the spirit keeps moving me for "just one more".
