When I was a kid my grandpa would take me along with him to the weekly livestock auction in a nearby community. There was always a group of guys in the parking lot who would approach folks bringing cattle to the public auction. My grandfather called these guys “pen hookers”. He told me that their goal was to buy the livestock from folks before they went to auction for less than what they were worth, then selling them for a profit. He likened them to, well let’s just say these “hookers” weren’t highly regarded.
He said a public auction was for selling at market prices. That was a life lesson for me. Not sure if this has anything to do with Parker guns but I like the memory.
