I just sold a Parker and Lefever on the same live internet auction that I purchased them about three years ago. The Parker almost doubled in value while the Lefever went up a few dollars. These were not high end guns. I don't see a drop in prices despite the economy of the last five or six years.

I agree with halifax when he says:

"I would say an auction, or any part of it, is reality and very real it is."

So many guns, so little time!
