If anybody thinks they’re going to add to their retirement fund by buying and selling Parkers, or any classic SXS be it American made or from overseas, think again. And the caveat to that is “You don’t make money when you sell them - you make your money when you buy ‘em.”

Dean is correct, as he so often is. It's just like the livestock business, you make you money on the buy, seldom on the sell.

You simply can’t make any money if you buy too high. That’s all there is to it.

I will say however, that I’ve bought all my Parkers at retail... or at least what the seller wanted.
