falconer2406 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Hi All, I hope it is acceptable to ask a direct question on here and that this is the right place to do it. I am looking to advertise my Beretta Silver Pigeon 2 on her for sale, I am told its called "The Gothic" because its the model with the slighty raised engraving. I bought the gun second hand in Nov 2009 from Greenfields in Canterbury and since then its been out of the case on only about six occasions I am resting shall we say from shooting for a while having developed a keen interest in photography and would like to sell the gun in order to buy a new lens. The gun is in immaculate condition has gorgeous woodwork and comes complete with all the extra bits needed, cleaning rods, a few cartridges etc and padded and lined Beretta hard plastic travel case, happy with any inspection. Can anyone please give me an idea as to what to ask for it, ideally i would love it to go to someone who would use it on a regular basis. I was think of asking circa £850-£900 what do you think please? Thanks for looking Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retromlc Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 a m8 of mine is a professional photographer(newspapers,classic mags etc),do you want me to ask him if a swap would be an option,i think he has large quantities of high end equipemnt,might be "cheaper" that way.

HDAV Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Hi Keith check prices for similar guns on Guntrader/Gunwatch etc if your after a quick sale try Greenfields, if not then advertise it here (gunwatch) get some good photos (should be easy for you) as much detail as possible and hold out for the price you want.

falconer2406 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) Hi retro, by all means ask please, i am looking for a 500mm f4 canon lens or simmilar, which even second hand is worth way more than my gun but am happy to swap and pay a cash balance.

falconer2406 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Thanks HDAV looking at those sites as we speak, cant find any real comparisons, however I'm not in a busting rush to sell but dont want to negate any chance of selling it by putting it up at a silly price, i would rather it be sold and someone get some use out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixer1 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) Falconer, as has been said have a look on gun trader or uk gun room for prices, while looking please have a look at my thread on SLR cameras in off topic and leave any advice as I am a bit lost!

HDAV Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 The "gothic" bit doesn't mean much, what does is the spec, the condition and the wood take some top photos and try it, always amazed at the useless photos people use to try and sell guns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
