Put a Parker and an RBL on your list. Buy one this year and the other in a year or two. If you buy a Parker carefully it will most likely increase in value. Unfortunately the RBLs will at best hold their value.
We don't really know what the RBL's value is going to do; if CSMC finishes the initial run in the 4 gauges and decides "that was more trouble than it was worth", there may not be any more, at least for a while. Or, if they continue making them but increase the price, that will likewise increase the value of the existing guns.
So far, what I'm seeing on the 20 RBL is that they're being offered for sale for at least what they sold for new, but much more often they're listed at a pretty good price increase, usually arount 10%. Only time will tell.
I do agree with the sentiment that you'll never be happy unless you get the Parker, so save until you can afford it and get it.
