Why the high price on .410 and 28 gauge Parker shotguns?

Two folks willing to pay $100k for it, and one willing to go to $110k. Seems like a battle of egos.

The gun is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

I would say that is true about any firearm.

One of the larger shops here in Virginia had a very nice Grade 1 Browning B-S/S in 12 gauge on their Gun Broker feed. No box, just clean with what looked like little use. It was the standard pistol grip with 26" barrels.

I watched it out of curiosity, and it sold for 3K.

Somebody wanted it, for sure.
