I believe it was that John guy that helped veer my first thread regarding a Cabela's 20 gauge. He completely trumpted my VH with images of his most beautiful DH(E). so much so that when my gun came from K.C. I just threw it away.

Now this, I'm trying to learn what drives the price of Parkers and end up on a turkey and goose hunt with some of the big dogs.

All kidding aside, I'm perfectly happy letting you all drive the bus, It's just a pleasure going along for the ride.

As always

Bobby

Rodney,

Drive on up 95 to Sanford NC to the Southern SxS in April and you'll see some marvelous 10ga guns and shooting. Bring your 10.

Carl.

Now John since you got that real nice D grade 20 when can I expect to get that worn out D grade 20 that we have talked about. You need to let me know when you ship it so I can be home to sign for the UPS shipment.....

The same factors that drive the price of Parkers drive the price of classic cars. Scarcity, configuration and condition. High grade, small bore and high condition, right or wrong, command high prices. The Puglisi VHE 20 that you asked about is an ultra high condition gun and the person who is looking for that degree of condition will be interested in that gun. If you are looking for a shooter, like the person looking for a basic Corvette driver, there are lots available at lesser prices.

I watch those Barrett-Jackson auctions and wonder what is going on. There is some throwing money at a car just because it looks like a fun toy, but others seem to be bought by investors who know their cars. You can see what a less than correct restoration does to a car, same thing to Parkers, and it may bring less than an unrestored, modest condition original. All very interesting and it takes years in the game to learn. And its interesting to learn that quite a few Parker collectors are classic car collectors too. Some have very interesting toys.
