Justin,
Some people have more time and skill than money and a different vision of what they want than others. Then there's a huge amount of pride in taking a gun like this and making it into a beautiful working gun again with your own hands. When you do something like that, it feels really good.
My opinion is; if I was looking for such a project, I'd much rather spend $2400 on this Parker 28ga and fix it up than $240 on similar condition Nitro or similar. The Nitro will never be worth much no matter how pretty it gets. The Parker 28 ga has such an inertia of followers that it stands the best chance of a the most ROI, if that's what the guy is after. But I'm guessing this is a project monger who bought this gun.
