Give it a rest Harry, you seem to be digging yourself a hole.
How's the weather in upstate NY, it is a great place to be in the autumn.

If realty has set in, the realty is that the market believes these guns are undervalued.
Asking prices have no bearing on reality. Hard cash spent sets the market and expected quality as to condition and reality. It is true that junk brings junk prices, but quality is selling high. I agree, AGS. I have come to learn that anything Dirty Harry posts here regarding the double gun market and related subjects, one should assume the inverse is probably true. JR Just went on a well known Guns for sale site, Parker - 444 Fox - 196 Ithaca - 63 This tell Me a lot more guys are trying to dump their Parker's, than the guys that have Fox's or Ithaca's. By the way, I like all of them. Dirty Harry Link? I buy and sell a lot of classic guns and break down many more for parts. If those prices are real...., I'd buy them all.

Those numbers are how many of each make are for sale, not the ''Price'' of them.

im thinking sbs's in general are selling off due owners knowing the new generation doesnt want to own them and the ones who can work on them are fading away into the sunset. lose lose.....SELL.
heck, even krieghoffs are a hard sell these days.

I know a lot of people who are starting to sell Parkers (and other good makes). The fact is that to own a quality Parker collection is a serious investment and most of the top collectors are getting along in years. The bulk of them could afford to enjoy them the rest of their life but they choose to try to not dump the burden of disposal on their heirs while maximizing there return. Counter to the common doomsaying, they look at the current high prices as an incentive to do it now. There are a lot of Parkers on the market because there are likely more high grade and good condition Parkers on the market than maybe all the other US brands combined. Maybe not in total numbers but quality numbers.

One very popular internet site for fancy shotgun sellers/buyers currently lists 337 Winchester Model 21 for sale, the dumping has begun in earnest. The pool of prospective buyers is constantly shrinking. I don't blame the sellers, smaller profit is better than no profit at all.
