Six months ago the market was hot. Now we are in the midst of a "correction."

I rather think INcorrection is more appropriate in this particular case.

Those surprised that an anachronism with Parker-specific provenance sold for a mere (whopping?) $54k would be well advised to carefully read and consider John Campbell’s current post in the “off topic” section of this forum.

I think it sold for exactly what it was worth in the world today. High or low, it had one or two bidders that wanted it for their COLLECTION. I would GUESS it was one bidder and the auction house bidding low estimate but I am only guessing. It is a very very small market for 50K american hammer guns. I think you guys are blowing smoke on "it sold cheap". Fat Jack P and 250K screaming bids for RARE parkers are in the past and it only happened once. Show me a comp, show me a 50K Parker hammer gun in the past 2-5 years. I don't follow hammer guns but I don't recall seeing one. Just my opinion so rage if you like but I want to see a comp too.

If it sold so cheap I am sure one of our members purchased it? Surely one of us would not let a bargain pass by?

The correction started several years ago with the 12 gauge shooter grade stuff. The high grade stuff has held its value longer but even that has to face the reckoning of the market. $56k is still a lot of money where I come from. It’s a buyers market
