Why is a 12 ga Parker a "boat anchor" these days?

[Don Strelioff]

The gun in question has been evaluated on another posting ghe 12 ga Damascus nice gun good condition it is not s boat anchor it is not a 4 k gun and it is not a 1500$ gun it is a 2000$-2500$ and if the owner listed it for sale he would get that money for it because you the potential buyer thinks it’s a 1500$ gun does not mean that is what it is worth. The owner has not listed it anywhere for any price so this is all speculation and wishful thinking.

Yes, the GHE was evaluated in another thread. Various opinions were given.

Over in the Classified section right now there is a very nice DH with Damascus barrels and antique, which is more desirable, for sale at $1850 and a GH for sale at $1895, also with Damascus barrels, but not antique. In similar condition to the GHE. Both haven't jumped off the shelf. Seems like $1800 is a stretch for the GHE in today's market.

In the GHE thread, 12 gauges were described as a boat anchor. That's where I got that from.

Ian, the GH was spoken for the first day it was posted. I believe the gun was priced very fairly. If the GHE you are looking at is in the same condition it should fetch more than a GH. I believe it should be priced in the $2500-$3000 range and that would be a "priced to sell" price.
