Well now that it's posted here I would expect it to sell at a higher price than if it was not.

I took an early test bid when it was showing $100 or so. I was bounced since it was already over $500 with 13 days left. It will go at a ridiculous price. I tried to buy a D grade lifter 10 at the end of the auction on Sunday on GB in order to get some parts to swap out. I bid to about 150% of it's value and wasn't close. Parkers have been insane lately on there.
I thought by showing it, at least someone that could use it would have a chance to bid. Lately the prices have been blown through the roof by people with user ID's such as "FriedTater69 (NR)". It seems like half the people bidding on older Parkers have no rating or single digit rating numbers.They run the price up all by themselves without any help from collectors. They are so new to online auctions they don't understand the bidding system and will set and enter bids in minimum increments over and over. I bid on a really special Merkel a few weeks ago and there were over 130 bids posted. One bidder alone made over 80 bids. |

A lot of those bidders are shills. Just there to run the price up. That's one reason I quit GB long ago. Nice and unusual PHE though.

I have reported quite a few spurious bid to GunBroker. One was a Top 10 dealer, who I just happened to notice had two different guns where I was beaten by the same low rated bidder. I did a little combing and found the same bidders makeing winning bids on a regular basis with this dealer, leaving a rave review of the dealer, and then the same guns being relisted two months later by the same dealer. Duplicate ads. It wouldn't have been obvious except that he should have waited three months so there wouldn't be an accessable record of the transaction. I suspect he was the bidder and was simply running his ratings up. He likely also was reporting non payment to GB. I bundled up all the info and sent it to them. They said they would investigate, and the dealer has disappeared. Unfortunatly, he is probably starting over with a different name and address. |

26" Cyl barrels on a 1900 PHE, would seem like a not too common setup?
Also, I am long way from expert, but do you think those barrels refinished? Nice looking Parker. Make a nice close cover bird gun.

I have never understood the guy who places a sub $300 bid, on a gun that everyone with half a brain would know will sell for a lot more than that.... What is the purpose of that? Seems like a waste of time, but I suppose there are those, myself included... Who sometimes order the search by bid count, to see what guns are getting a lot of attention..... So, does that make it a schill bid?
