Why? Are you saying in them good ole' days price of .410 cartridges reflected their true value. Today price per box is two to three times more than 12ga.  Why should you be concerned with the prices of shotshells Jagermeister? You don't hunt, and you don't even own any double shotguns. If you actually do own any guns at all for home defense, the number of shots you'd fire should not be a cost factor even if you live in Baltimore or Chicago. It's weird how a guy who doesn't own even one lousy double shotgun feels such a pathetic need to pretend he actually knows anything about them.
Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug

If you are into Parkersl and collecting them you would understand that price. Two buyers have waited a long time to find and buy one. Years and years with almost none yo be found. So when one comes up the checkbooks get opened up. To me that gun went for several times what I would want to invest into it but then again I have not been waiting years for one.
I hope the new owner enjoys the heck out of it. I also hope it does not end up being refinished and sold in a year or two as a high condition, rare Parker. You might have noticed that seems to happen a lot with Parkers and small bore Fox guns.

This is a fully optioned gun, lacking only the "skeet in skeet out" stamps to make it a $40,000 gun. I think the buyer got a deal.

I have a friend who has one. I was with him when he bought it 25 years ago. I keep telling him it’s worth a bundle of dollars.

The Parker name, the gauge and a few bidders who have waiting a long time for a 410 Parker to surface is what drove that bidding up. Certainly not the condition of that particular gun. Good timing by the seller, also.

Good timing by the seller. EXACTLY!! $25,000.00 for a basically minimally engraved, 26” barreled non-ejector boxlock shotgun, in even .410 bore.....that price seems wholly ridiculous to me! In fact, nutty. Parker collectors are a different breed. However, it is what it is, I guess.

Yes they are Buzz. Just could have been two Parker guys that just wouldn't let go as neither wanted to lose that gun.
"Its a 410 Parker I got to have it!!"
"No, I got to have it."
"FU"
"No, FU."
