I very much disagree, The gun sold for exactly what it was worth +- 20% vig and I think the buyer and seller are probably happy with the results. If you have real sale results to compare for grade 7 20ga guns with 32" barrels for the past 5-100 years selling for 100k please post them. I would really like to see the facts that call this gun 100k gun.

I do know of one that sold privately in that price range “close to a hundred grand”, “+- 20%” about 8 or 9 years ago. I must admit that I don’t understand what you mean by “vig” though.
It was all original and in high condition but I don’t remember if it had 30” barrels or 32”.

Unfortunately I’m not at liberty to divulge names or serial number of the gun.. so it’s just another case of “somebody told me blah, blah, blah...

Vig is the shortened version of "vigorish" = a term used for a premium paid over the selling price. Also known as the juice. Vig is also used in other contexts besides gun auctions.

Josh, ever the statesman, you might comment on some of the $100K+ Parkers sold in years past by James Julia. I think Patrick's response, although a bit acerbic, could be said at anytime, simply because of the nature of auctions.
I remember guns from past auctions, such as the Lumber Baron's gun, which went for huge money, but it didn't impress me any more than this gun.
I have to side with Gary in as much as I think this gun, white line or no white line, would have probably commanded a bit more a few years ago.
I never had any aspirations of owning that gun, but I appreciate being able to see the many quality pictures posted by the auctioneer. Maybe it's post Super Bowl nasties, but I don't get why people waste time to post in attack mode.
