I bought one on the internet that was a little underwhelming, but a good deal at the price. The seller listened to my description and sent me $175 for my trouble. All the others have been just fine. As for shows, once I looked at a dingy GHE Parker with very tarnished Damascus tagged at about $325. I just didn't need another parts gun, so I passed on it. This was a few years ago. A friend made an offer on the gun, and we inspected it in the sunlight. You guessed it, a #1 frame 28" gun with tarnished Parker Special Steel barrels.
