Thanks Drew. I am bringing the Parker and the Ugartechea to a expert close to where I live.

The Ugartechea is a 3 inch 20 gauge, extractor, long barrels that appears to be made in 2000. Proofed to modern standards, with a light weight barrel set - an almost ideal Upland gun in top condition.

Yes the Ugartechea is in great shape and I can't wait to get it to Kansas for some real bird hunting. Any idea of what it's worth roughly? I understand without having it in hand make it difficult to be exact.

OK, at the risk of being the dick here I'll respond.
The usual crowd is being way too polite. I suspect many consider this simply some kind of bait from an internet troll and not worth replying to.
Generally we evaluate first, purchase second.
I'm not an appraiser, but you ask what the guns are worth after supposedly just buying them. The value was established at that time.
The Parker is either a wall hanger or a money pit. The bores can hardly look better than the outsides.
The Spanish gun is not even close to 'top condition'. Even in the poor photos corrosion is evident.
I suspect I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.

The Uggie is in pretty good shape based on the pics, but certainly there was some surface rust that was removed that left some light cosmetic pitting. No doubt still a nice gun to hunt with. The Parker if the barrels are sound can be cleaned up to make a decent gun with enough money. If the barrels are trashed then its a wall hangar most likely.

That's cool Mr. Jones. I'm not a troll and not sure what that is as I'm not on any sort of social media whatsoever. I purchased these guns from a customer of mine for what I thought was a good deal. If not so be it. If you are offended in some sort of way because you feel you wasted your time reading this then I'm sorry for you. And if you read this they're not for sale! They will be in Kansas at my father's.
Consider this the last time I'm on here.
P.S. This is exactly what's wrong with this world. Everyone's a tough guy online.

Dont leave because of our resident expert Mr Shotgun Jones of MI. He enjoys intimidating people, esp newbies, and lacks any resemblance to tact. Although he is knowledgeable on some things its hard to tell because he got gobs of BS too.....but, he always enjoys being mean and condescending.
