Crazy price of used guns

[d3vnull]

The used PCPs I have purchased on here I have bought at a price that if there was any issue I could send them to a professional tuner and still come out ahead.

I purchased an AA200 knowing I would be sending it to a tuner, but just have not sent it yet.

I’m curious what others think about ridiculous priced ads but with the OBO after it ? I mean let’s say there is a 2200 dollar ghost or a 1400 mk2 impact. I mean isn’t the price so far out of touch with reality that it isn’t even worth an offer ?

I’m in imperial, I do like Benji’s and have several of them. But not wanting another .25. You post it and put a decent price on it , it will probably sell quick. By then I might change my mind, ha. You might want to look into a Prod. Pistol Marauder. And put a stock on it. Light, should be easy to hand pump and whisper quiet. I get 3 mags per fill out of mine. There is also the 3622 single shot pcp, or if really wanting a pumper then a 362.
You can find them all here. https://www.airgunrevisions.com/?s=362 .
And Prod with stock https://www.airgunrevisions.com/product/benjamin-marauder-pistol/

You got me thinking. Now I’m torn between a pcp pistol and the dragonfly mk2. Any thoughts?

I use a sliding scale. Got a like new model unmodified that is no longer the latest generation? 50% of list seems reasonable. Is it the latest generation NIB and not in stock at the retailers right now - maybe 80-100% of list.

Got a high end gun that involves long lead times or is NLA? 80% maybe more. Have targets or good competition results with it? Fresh from a reputable tuner? Those can add some value too.

If you’re accuracy focused like me, you’ll probably agree with the idea to never sell your most accurate rifle. So when I see nice guns for sale used I always measure the possibility that it’s moving along because it’s below average accuracy. I’m not saying that used guns are less accurate- not exactly - but I think it certainly isn’t helpful unless the seller is proving it to be an accurate copy.

Got a highly modified project gun that is kind of unique? Unless buyers are looking for that particular outcome I’d bet 50% of list and zero adder for the work that went into it.

I try to think like a buyer. What are the risks and guarantees here? If I spend more and buy new with warranty what would that look like? Then I price with that and my urgency to close a sale.

I admit i am an accuracy nut ! But everyone's idea of accuracy is different ! case in point " this gun can pop soup cans @ 50 yards all day long " Really ?

Sent you a PM, don’t want to hijack thread.

Sometimes people will price to sell high with the option of OBO so that when they get an offer it isn't so low. There are high ballers, and there are low ballers everywhere.
