Other Highest asking price for an air gun?

[OldDude]

Let’s start a new tread for the airgun with the highest asking price.

I think this Daystate Timberwolf on eBay might be it for $18.5K

Pardon Our Interruption...

Unfortunately it may not be the highest since the seller opted out for free shipping

LOL, and they hung a flashlight on it! Oh my goodness.

I wouldn’t live long enough to even see the look on my wife’s face before she snuffed me out.

maybe its the gold parts?

 

[WoodWelder]

Yeah but there was only 100 made and this one is the 45......

 

[MOhunter]

WTH?? Surely it's not worth anything near that price. Is it?

Probably listed it so he could tell the wife he's trying to sell it.

I just did that yesterday LOL

This is the only logical explanation.

A few years back I did the same thing and it sold on eBay after sitting for four months. I felt bad and included a decent scope, pellets and a few other extras.

Great thread!

I would add the highest SOLD prices, or actual values. Some like the Lewis and Clarke Girandoni are priceless, while others have risen to collector holy grail status. The most recent one that comes to mind is the Lefty FWB300 running target, which sold two weeks ago on GunBroker for $ 3,700.00 plus.

Whiscombs can go for 4k, Theoben 88s and Dual Magnums are 4k.
HW Tyroleans, Venoms, Air Logic Genesis, Air Masters...

Others?

Which PCPs are getting collectible?

In the case of that eBay gun it isn’t the gun that is so high but the seller may be a different story.

I stand corrected. This is indeed another very plausible explanation.

Even if the seller priced it at 10% of what he is asking, the price would be too high. His problem is that while the gun started out as a collectible one, it has seen way too much use and is too worn to be in a collectable condition. There also are no photos of the original documentation on it, which are part of the value of a collectable item (if they exist), and since there are no photos one would assume he does not have them.

I have a wonderful Air Ranger (almost the same gun, except for the color and labeling) that is in as good or better condition, and if I sold it it would have to be discounted due to the normal wear that it has on it from tens of thousands of rounds shot and maintenance over the years (but I won't be selling it). At this point, that gun is just an Air Ranger with different labeling . . .

His only hope - even at a discounted price - is to find a really, really stupid buyer with money to burn . . .
