Not sure I can see any benefit when balanced with potential negatives.

Probably requires a lot more thought...

Too many opinions and egos = lots of ruffled feathers.

Isn't this like asking the fat kid to watch the cake?
Although these appraisals aren't binding, as the owners of similar firearms, many of which are or soon may be for sale (I've seen pictures of you guys), won't wishful thinking tend to skew objectivity?

That being said, I do enjoy the posted pictures and the opportunity to see others' Parkers.
Please keep 'em coming.

The reason I suggested it be done in a members only forum is to prevent the clever troll who is actually looking to sell a gun disguised manner in an "open" forum area.

As far as safety concerns, check the recent threads on barrel wall thickness, when we discuss that issue we are sometimes giving recomendations a gun is shootable. Same with composite barrel considerations, many us say it's OK. What new safety area could be be covering that we don't already.

Perhaps the appraisal could be done as a poll, with members voting on what they feel the appropriate range of value is, perhaps broad, <$1000, then in $500 increments and for the most valuable guns simply >$10,000,with the idea that a gun above this range really should have a formal in hand appraisal done.
