If a misleading description was grounds for suspension from Gunbroker, they would have very, very few sellers left.
I bet this guy knows nothing about Parkers - or about SxSs in general. Someone probably brought the gun in and put it on consignment. Or worse, he bought it thinking it was all good.
Of course, he may know what he has and he was just misleading people to make a buck. That kind of stuff happens a lot in the gun business - less today, but still it happens a lot.
This spring, a 20g Woodward O/U, cased with all the goodies, came on the market. A friend of mine checked it out.
The bbls were scrap - way too thin (.014), dented, etc - and the gun was restocked. The seller was one of the more reputable dealers in the country, someone who has been in the game long enough to know how to measure bbls and spot a restock. This seller never pointed out either one of these problems.
When my friend mentioned the state of the bbls and stock, the seller just shrugged his shoulders and put the gun away. A couple of week later, it was listed as sold. Whoever bought it spent a LOT of money on a gun that needed new bbls - a very, very expensive thing to get on a Woodward O/U - and had a marginal restock on it.
Buyer beware.
