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.
