Thanks in advance, Just tell him when the time comes to sell/px a Yildiz be prepared to give it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That really is great news. You have obviously seen these used Yildiz Pro Sport at amazing prices. Or perhaps know someone trying to sell one at give away prices. A link would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance, A sure-fire way to sell a cheaply made gun to somebody who knows very little about guns is to put some pretty wood on it.

You need to do a bit more research on the Yildiz Pro before you post such a sweeping statement which is untrue😲 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfectly adequate and fit for purpose. But compared with a gun which you have paid three months wages for a skilled worker to finish the stock, and similar for an engraver they are cheaply made. I have not yet seen a bad review on this gun, I am still waiting for the information on where we can buy them used for peanuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure £2000 is peanuts for a used gun costing around £2000 new 🤔. please could someone show me a pro sport selling for peanuts if it’s 30” I’ll buy it as a coaching gun.

DUNKS Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Seems the new price is adjusted up or down depending on the quality of the wood. There are folk prepared tp pay a premium for a really stunning bit of wood, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wylye Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 With regard to cheap s/h models. a new £1500 gun is carrying 20% VAT, plus the dealers margin so I doubt if he's going to give more than £1000 for a used one - if that. If you p/x then the actual price can get hidden by the margin he has in the one you're buying. Hence all these stories about being given the same price you paid for the gun originally. Dealers have rent and wages to pay so the money has to come from somewhere - and we all know there's no money in cartridges! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
