I don’t know and maybe it’s just me but this is insane!
Of course, none of the bidders had much feedback, so maybe “something is rotten in Denmark"

There you are, a manufactures gun modded and restocked for $2k. Not bespoke but off the shelf polished and smoothed over and a pretty piece of wood.. Its the namesake That sells. I am not a collector. I use all of my guns as well as some Venom ones
colleciting air rifles and not shooting them is as bad as not doing your wife ,to save her for the next guy.

As someone who collects them I agree. Not shooting them is just wrong. Keeping them locked up in a safe 24/7 is even worse. But yeah, the first thing I thought of when I saw this post was your post. I really cannot imagine you couldn't sell yours for what you think you'd need to. Once a couple get into peoples hands and they make their way into the public eye at FT matches and whatnot, people are going to start knocking at your door for one of their own I think.There you are, a manufactures gun modded and restocked for $2k.

My Wife would laugh at the next guy after 40 years with me....I watched that auction also as a good friend got beat out of it...I always bristle when admonished to shoot collectable guns....Some of these guns are nigh on to impossible even to fine...FOR ANY PRICE, and getting harder to service every day. If you were astonished at 2k for that Venom, just wait if EVER an SLR88 goes up for auction...better bring your lunch, you won't have to wonder who's bidden' against you! Not gunna' shoot it either...Why do you think my wife let's me buy these expensive toys...2k is a bargain for some of these hard to find ones.

Not bad when you add everything up. Scope, rings, custom stock and probably breathed on by someone who knows what they are doing. Glad it was not left handed.

I’ve dealt with the seller before and never had an issue, but I notice bidders with no feedback or very little seem to drive prices pretty high on their stuff. Could just be because they start their auctions a .01, no reserve, but in my experience of being on GB for over 20 years, they usually drop out earlyMarket manipulation is not a new concept ... sold for $1900.00

Price was high, but seller didn't really know what he was selling: Hull Cartridge marketed early 25mm piston K length Venom tuned gun with early version CS stock with pretty good figure, nice scope, Venom or Airmasters moderator, in somewhat used but not abused condition.
I'd assume it really a Venom gun and not just labelled as such, (those labels are being reproduced I believe)?
Someone got an interesting airgun but at a high price?

If it helps the scope and mounts are worth $500+ the stock $500- so say $900- Venon name $200.Stock used HW77 $350+Should be more like $1200-$1400, me I would pay $800.Yes, a bidding war with rich people or they got caught up in the bidding war.

Examine the pictures closely and note the presence of the entire breech seal stuffed into the breech end of the barrel in one picture.
Possibly caused by dry firing the rifle? Would that even matter?
Venom HW 77 owners just got a benchmark price to steer towards, and there may be more examples pop up on the market as a result.

...yup, pellets...but seller didn't really know what he's selling, and removed the pellets on later photos?
Who really knows what your getting when you win that sorta airgun?
Wasn't that scope a non-airgun scope; I thought airgun scopes are made with "AO" for adjustable objective feature???

How do you rate a bore that highly when it is stuffed shut in the breech? Tough to light up that way?
