Last month Holeshot also paid top dollar for a lovely Grade 3 Top Lever Hammergun that I should have bought! He knows the value of a good Parker.

Parker collectors will not miss a well described and well pictured Parker on gunbroker.com if there is no reserve on the sale. If there is a reserve, buyers will ignore the offering and you will get no bids. Maybe you could post a scan of the page in the Blue Book where this gun is estimated at $2450. You may be mistaking your gun for a different gun in the book.

Drew, I am not wanting to offend you, just trying to help.
Blue book is tough to quote based on reality. I am a collector who really works to find a good deal on a gun. I see guns like yours quite often on fair market auctions and that is real world prices. If you check prices at big dealers you may see some priced very high but those are for the impatient buyer who has more money than time to find a real bargain. I dont think you have a chance of getting more than 1k for your gun unless you use it for trading material on a more expensive gun at one of those high priced dealers...Here are some current auctions, I know they are not exactly the same or same condition but if I watched for 6 months I would find one like yours for that price range http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=213252452 http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=213900717 http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=214249315 http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=213482273 This gun sold for 2500 dollars http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=196641907 |

The Blue book only gives values on hammerless guns. You would be better off to watch Gunbroker or auctionarms to see what guns like yours will bring. You must go by completed auctions not what people are asking.

Drew: it would be great if you could get to keep it. It looks like it needs a serious cleaning inside and out. I'd guess that most of us here would have it back in action in a few days if the barrels are sound. I can tell you they are very fun to shoot. I wouldn't give up on making it your own just yet. Figure something out.

Drew,
Put it on Gun Broker for a week or two with no reserve. The value will be the price offered. If you can afford it then bid. If you are the top bid then the gun stays in the family and the owner gets paid top dollar in today's market. Or, if you think the price is at least $1000 then start at $1000 but if there are no bids then you pay the owner $1000. The choice is yours. |
