    Sheridan worth?

    It is the ones in Near perfect/Mint condition that bring the big money. That extra bit of nice, triples the price. Sheridan has a huge and loyal following of "collectors", I had 200+ of them before blowing up that auction site with dozens of mint perfect examples. I did well... D

    Shady "Expert Opinions" offered on Value of Highly Collectible Items

    but that is the value, your rant makes no sense at all. So goes the stock market, but today, that is the going price. You don't like it but it is what it is and you have no control over it. Your comment is exactly what I am talking about. Supply and Demand in a free market economy sets it's own...

    Old Springers stored for years - how to lube/clean before use - vintage mint cond/NOS Beeman imports

    I saw one of these sights sell for almost $200 the other day on Ebay, and it was not in so great of condition either , not like this one. This one is that older 13mm I believe. I looked up the serial numbers and the rifle is a 1969. It looks like it has never been used, not a scratch on it, no...

    Vintage Air Arms Springers

    Wish I had a couple of those catalogs now. I am not the original owner, was quite young when these were made, and knew nothing about them. The gentleman who I bought them from really knew his stuff and knew where to get it. But like many others he has passed away taking all that first hand...
