Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Human Nature is an odd thing , I don't know how many times I have listed a nice Parker on our site for sale at what I thought was a good buy for some one only to have it sit here among hundreds of Parker Enthusiasts for weeks and never receive as much as a PM or even an offer ! Then I list it on Gun Broker and start it always at a penny and ten days later the gun is always sold and usually for more than it was offered for ! You Got Me , unless it's the thrill of the bid ????

Folks who use our members only for sale page have become accustomed to the seller continuously dropping his price - sometimes within a few days while others stretch it out over a few weeks, but potential buyers have learned to continue to wait until the price is dropped to a level these buyers consider a good deal. This “good deal” price is often below the gun’s actual value but they have learned how to play the game.
I’ve tried to sell guns on this forum but learned my lesson years ago... yet I still do it from time to time.
