mossberg-operator Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I've found one but it is way to cheap... Seller says mint condition. Any ideas on this, pls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 What ideas , if he says its mint look at it , if it is good and cheap like you say take his hand off , bit of a no brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that it's not that easy in as much as the gun is miles away. If that is the case, could the OP get a local member to have a look at it should there be somebody. If I'm wrong (again!) and it's local and you don't feel happy about checking it over, ask matey to let YOUR RFD give it a once over. He won't mind if it IS mint.

HDAV Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 They have had a bit of resurgence prices getting stronger but some are keen to sell unaware of the value others I think are chancing it with silly high prices.... I found a gun I had been after for ages for 30% below the going price but 100+ miles away and seller would not post. So I couldn't buy it....

Gordon R Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Depends on your idea of cheap. A minter for £500 is cheap. £800 - not so cheap. Also depends on which version of Grand European - Game, Sporter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I suspect this may be another of the guns that appear from time to time, have had very little use hence the MINT CONDITION, but when you get a look at them they all seem to have had the chokes rubbed out! Steve you have a text! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Found one for £101 in excellent condition. If this is the one the OP is referring to - a nought is missing from the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) There are two 101 GEs available and both are well in excess of £1000. A very basic typographical error!! :lol: :lol: Edited October 31, 2013 by TIGHTCHOKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Yep, now that 101 IS in nice condition. Must be a typo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunman Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I often find that the word mint has several meanings , like Polo it has a hole in the middle , or like Wriggley's , well chewed . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
