I've been a member for some time and just yesterday was the first time someone mentioned my PGCA Sticker on the Back Window of my Jeep ! We had a relatively warm day and I snuck out for 18 Holes at the course and a Gentleman in the parking lot ask if this was my vehicle ,I answered yes and he replied you must be loaded if you are a Parker Collector ,Apparently he doesn't know about the Flat Market in Double Guns !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is an honest gun dealer in Wagum N C, Phillip Futrell at MidSouth Guns. I would give him a call if it was me. He buys collections and all my dealings with him have been good. JMHO

All this means is it’s a buyers market.

If I remember correctly, didn't one of our other members also have some sort of issue with Julia's?

This thread has just reminded me that I am really just a Parker Gun Collector In Name Only. All the guns I would like to buy, even at these depressed prices, are still beyond my financial reach.

But, that's OK -- I can still partake of The Mystique.

More than one. I'm in the process of putting my guns in a trust with instructions on how to dispose of them and an approximate value at the time the trust is implemented. My first choices are respected dealers who will work on a consignment basis, the next is an auction and it is stipulated that under no circumstances will Julia's be considered.

The best way to get the maximum return on your guns is to sell them yourself.Take good photos,write an accurate description,price them reasonably,and put them on the internet. It is perfectly legal as long as you ship to an FFL on the buyers end.A pain and a hassle,but you will get more for your guns and no waiting for checks or returning of unsold guns.The market is so tight now that there is no room for the middlemen anymore.

I have incorporated disposition of all my firearms in my will. My grandson will get my grandfather's/Father's 16 Parker and a nice 20 Parker. The rest of my Parkers and other guns are going to a number of close friends that I shoot and hunt with. And I'm at peace with this.
