Vulcha Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 So i have a super sport .22, with a hawke 4X40 scope, some shody, £9 mounts and a sling and swivels. I was hoping to get about £80-£100 for it. My mate came in to work yesterday and said that he wants to replace his old meteor and wanted to know if anyone as selling a scoped rifle for around £150. So i said i was selling mine and i told him it as going for £150. And i got it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 What happens when someone tells your "mate" that his new outfit is worth between £80 - £100 max ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roblade Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 dont think that price is too bad at all, i think we get spoilt by the cmoputers and all the bargins out there. Things just arnt the same in the real world. E.G go to ebay look up a few compon things (tvs, videos, BT phones) then go to a second hand shop and check out the prices they are selling them for! how the heck do they stay in business?? I would have said though even on here £100 would have been cheep for that set up as long as its all in decent condition, and not abused. You try and get a decent set up for under £150! especially second hand froma gun shop!!!!! Plus i guess he got the chance to have a good look at it first, and he always had the option of walking away from it. I have owned and sold almost 30 rifles in the few years i have been shooting and only one of them has ever been sold localy, and that was to a guy that said he wanted to buy it from me if i ever sold it. The only rifle i have ever made money from was a career 707 i bought via ebay was pulled two days into a 7 day auction and the guy said i could have it as i was to top bid at the time with £175 quick drive to surrey and two hours latter it was mine :thumbs: and when you take postage into account i think its safe to say most rifles i have lost money on. all the best ROB :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
