My first PCP airgun was a local used,1000$ unregulated- 22 and a 75cuft 500$ SOLD both tank and gun 1500$ And My second gun was a used for !000$ SOLD for 1000$ -I bought my next .22 New.1700$ late 2015 and really enjoy it But its worth 1000$ or so a year later.My latest (New) gun was 1500$ a month ago I,ve thrown another 1000$ at it,for personal enjoyment,fun-ya never get that back I know- and now worth what? 1000$ or so.I could own another gun if I'd of bought used guns every time I purchased,I'm realizing Peace of mind ,knowing I'm the first person in, other than the factory might be a waste of my time/money -Is it really worth it,I used to think so -But the math is plain enough.
