Has the market for average Parkers bottomed???

[Richard Flanders]

I can only say that I've had three Parkers for sale at an Alaska gunshop for a year and have not heard a word from the shop. They're used to the "high prices for guns in Alaska" program and can't seem to figure out how to move them.

A tactic that worked very well for my mother who had an antique shop in the very high-traffic town of Newburyport, MA was if a nice piece of antique furniture sat in her shop for more than a few months she would change the price tag to double the amount she had been asking before.... within a week or so it would sell, without fail.

Maybe it was because word got around... "Oh that Grace Romig - better buy it now if you like it because pretty soon you won't be able to afford it."

Had the same thing happen when I tried to sell an RBL Launch Edition that didnt fit me well. Listed it at what I paid for it and it just sat there.
The prior seller saw the listing and e-mailed me with a note to mark it up by $300. With some trepidation I did so, and it sold in a week. Go figure.
