lister1 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 As per title really. i have a bettinsoli diamond x that is 5yrs old. Has all its original hard case; manual and chokes. top condition, i was thinking of trading it against something more suited to the foreshore, perhaps a sx3 with 3.5" chamber. anyone have an idea of what i should be getting as a trade in value?

Dazza9t9 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 You'd probably better selling it private than trading against a new gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humperdingle Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 It'll also depend on the value of the gun you're trading up to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gemini52 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I would expect in the region of 300 to 350,think you would be lucky to get anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lister1 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Cheers. so about 300 to 350. I was thinking of trading in for a sx3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisAsh Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) So why trade it in at least try to sell private first and if you do you have a chance to buy for cash and maybe get a small bit off the new gun (never ask never get) Edited January 15, 2014 by ChrisAsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 You'd probably better selling it private than trading against a new gun +1 yes. go to your local shop and ask how much. you`ll be surprised on how little it will be worth to them. then there is nothing stopping you selling it privately for more than the dealer is willing to pay. either way you`ll get screwed or only 1/2 screwed.

lister1 Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 See what ya saying. just couldnt be bothered with the hassel of selling private. i think go see my local shop and see what they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sishyplops Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 £700 Minus vat =583 £583-£400=£183 Divide by three years = £36 a year depreciation Not bad going you cant minus the vat as you will have to pay it unless it is for business use, so it has to be factored in, but agree with depreciation costs as even adding the vat back on its still a cheap gun for 3 yrs use. The dealer will haggle that he can obviously but the gun ex vat, minus his profit he is probably buying new not far off £500 so giving you £400 for yours might be pushing it , however lets say you traded it in for another gun at his asking price, he makes his profit on the new gun , then will sell your for £475 so he has made money on both and can only charge vat on the margin on the used gun. dealers are always happy to trade guns in as they make profit on both guns, its a no brainer, as if he sells to a straight (ie not gay ) buyer he loses margin on the new gun, i work in sales and always want trade ins as you can charge your advertised price for your goods, it makes me laugh when i see dealers saying XYZ gun is £1000 cash or £1050 px price, i cant believe people actually pay the extra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktattoo Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Doubt you would get £400 trade in but may. Got £400 for mine as a trade in, depends on what you trade it in against and what profit the Rfd is making, plus my Rfd I do quite a bit of business with so to him probably worth paying slightly more as no doubt he will get it back over the years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Your about the mark at £300 against a SX3 with maybe something thrown in, box of carts or cleaning kit etc. Always get less than you think trade in. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
