belly47 Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 after some advice please fellas, when I bought my R10 a few years ago it developed a small leak from the buddy bottle, it wasn`t much to be honest, about 50bar over the course of a week so it did not stop me using it at all. In the end I called BSA and obtained a replacement and new bottle arrived and all was well and good. To cut a long story short the rifle was sold early last year but when clearing out some shooting gear I came across the original bottle which is now surplus to requirements. I see that new valves can be bought or some can be sorted quite easily and restored to working order. my question is, what would be a fair price do you think to sell the bottle as it is?

Okrang Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Just been looking at prices on Bestfittings.co.uk Given that a new 400cc buddy bottle with rebuildable valve costs £90.00, if you deduct the cost of a new valve (£30.00)that gives you a bare bottle price of £60.00. If you allowed 30 - 50% for depreciation (as it is second-hand and a few years old)that gives you a second-hand value of £30.00 - £40.00. I think £30.00 would be fair because your bottle would still require the fitting of the new valve. I would give you £30.00 for it! Cheers, John.

Okrang Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 That's okay Evo! I guess it's all a matter of opinion - something's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it and that was my marker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
