What is the current used price for KalibrGun Cricket 1 (.25 cal)?

[wyjiang]

Hi all,
I am thinking about selling my KalibrGun Cricket 1 in .25 caliber (long).
It is in good condition and functions well. Before I list it, I would like to get a sense of what the current used price is.
If anyone has recently sold or bought one, I would appreciate any info on recent going rates.


Thanks in advance!

There has been one in the classifieds forever and it’s under $800. I can’t believe it hasn’t sold. It’s priced right and I don’t trust used airguns any further than I can throw them. I think his price is $750. Almost bought it for my buddy but a Taipan popped up for $800.

Methinks $8-900. The used market is really stagnant now. Too many new new cheapies out there and people don’t appreciate the quality of top tier stuff.

Yeah I think that 800 something is probably accurate. A of A has a used version 2 for 1289. Dealer always asks and for some reason gets premium used price. Chances a 2 like that would go here for 1300 are zero so a version one value would be way less for sure.

With one listed and not selling at $750, I would list it at $700. I know this is a big hit but it is used and unlike AoA you do not offer a limited warranty. As stated above, the market is flooded with new gee wiz with all the bells and whistles. People are dumping older models to buy new. Not a good time to sell a used air rifle. Good Luck.

If one for $750 is not selling, then $800 certainly is not it.lol. $700 sounds right, when there have been plenty of the 2nd gen crickets sell for $900 or less in the recent months.

You are right about that, I bought a version cricket 2 from TT about 3 or 4 years ago for $1299 brand new, I can't imagine someone selling used for more than $900-$1000

AoA just sold 2 Cricket 1's (.22 and .25) which were listed for just under $800 each, and both came with optics and extra magazines. And store prices are generally higher than private party prices, sometimes because stores like AoA provide some level of warranty (60 days on used guns?)

There is a magic number for all used guns when they just sell quickly. Same goes for other stuff. I would have to agree, if $700 isn’t a perfect price for a nice used Cricket, guys are out of their minds. New guns in the $700 price range are absolute junk compared to a Cricket.

$700 is realistic.

I have one of the original crickets it is never cost me one penny to keep it up it's never broken down it's just accurate as you can get I got three inch circle with 156 yards and 25 caliber 34 grain I've got nothing to say about him that's bad except they're heavy

My original 9 year old cricket has had 1 replacement o ring. Never lets me down.

Would I sell for current market value, not a chance.
The cricket and it's reliability, accuracy etc has probably saved me 1000s of bucks in experimental purchases.

This last sentence is what quality top tier guns are all about .
EDIT: the S510 was first released in 2008 mine is probably 10 years old . never did anything to it , Just keep shooting .

About $650-700. Quaint gun with age and use. Which is close to 50% of when new at their initial release. I sold my taipan vet 1 for 50% of new.
