Scott, there comes a point where common-sense economics needs to come into play... enough is enough!

I've played that game before - "Damn the price tag - Full speed ahead!" and have been 'upside-down' on a gun. Never again! (file that under "Famous Last Words")

Getting upside down on a few guns is just the price of admission to this hobby

There was a nice straight grip GHE 20 with 32" vent rib barrels in the Julia Auction several years ago. I thought I was gonna buy it...man was I wrong about that!

Everytime I have passed on a small bore parker because it was 10% or even 15% higher than I would ever consider paying in my wildest fits of abandon......I wake up a couple years later and see one like it sell for more! Then I think of all the times I could have carried shouldered and shot that gun and still been $$$ ahead. Its easy to lose money on guns. You have to reallllllllly overpay to lose money on small bores....(20 ga GH ejector straight grip 32" you dont see those everyday)....and even then you most likely can just wait it out.

Anybody have any long barrel 20 bores they want to sell? please send me a PM

I'm trying to convince myself I don't want another gun. I know I don't need another one but that really doesn't come into play.

Long barreled small bores are like young curvy redheads....fun to look at, wonderful to hold.....and expensive

I passed on a DHE 32 inch vent rib 16 at the Southern a year or so ago. It was short and would have needed either a restock or a big spacer. I thought it was a lot of money for a gun just to shoot clay targets with BUT I wish I had it

Yup, got an email from the seller. $47,000. The GHE 20 is a great gun. Too bad the serial number is too high for a decent letter. Check that recoil pad.
