Webley Auction at Wallis and Wallis Yesterday!

[minibbb]

I have never seen so many gorgeous guns that I want! I met up with Paddy_SP (who had his eye on lots of nice things), and I was hoping to buy a nice webley air pistol. Unfortunately so did everyone else and one nice senior sold for £670! I had to leave the auction early for work so Paddy very kindly bidded on a lovely .22 walnut tracker which I got for £130 which I think is a bargain!
There were some bargains to be had. A nice webley spectre went for £170 and most of the break barrel vulcans etc went for £70-95. Just wish I could have stayed for the pistol auction! If anyone else went what did you buy?

I wish you hadn't told me that! I thought I wouldn't bother as everything would go for silly prices. Please don't tell me any more, thanks very much.

So should we expect a flood of webley guns in the 'For Sale' section now.Would love to have gone but I think one gun would have turned into five.Steve

There were two pistols for sale on the AirgunForum at 10.00pm last night.

Looking for a quick proffit?

I wasn't sure exactly when the auction was but that sales thread suggested that it had already taken place. Not a big surprise that some folk are trying to make a quick buck.

I just wish I had bought the mint webley premier that was there
Still, very pleased with the tracker. The "common" guns were going for good prices

[Sam Vimes]

Any ideas on what sort of price the MKIII's were going for, particularly the Supertargets?

[E-B]

The paperwork?!! The paperwork?!!

Philips indentures,,,, how much did they go for,,,, please don't say £200 I couldn't stand it, Argh!

Seriously though folks anyone know?

Cheers.

[Raygun]

[Troubledshooter]

The framed Phillip Webley Indenture paper went for £750.
The William Davis Business card went for £320.
The Webley Boyle Pneumatic went for £5K.
The Mercury Double Cock pistol went for £3K.
The tatty Webley Spares Box went for £240.
The really rough Double Spring Clip Mk.1 Pistol relic went for £520.
The Prototype Hurricane went for £1,050.
All these prices are + buyers premium including VAT of %17.62
There should be a full list of prices realised available from Wallis & Wallis in the near future, but I should have a few more details after I have spoken to John Atkins this evening.

I'd blown all my money (and more) before the accessories and pistols sections began, so gathered up my booty and left...

A nice webley spectre went for £170

Tom - Believe me - another one (the fourth item in the auction), went for a lot less than that!

I hate you


Would have liked to go myself but as long as people don't post what wonderful cheap bargains they had I should be able to keep my envy to a minimum.

So all in all a nice birthday?

I hate you

Not as much as my bank manager!

So all in all a nice birthday?

Yes mate - my good lady (who hates guns ) booked a swish country hotel for us to stay in where we had a great meal (but the PRICE OMG! ). The journey was a pain though as we got caught in a torrential downpour in the Brighton to Southampton evening rush hour...
Got back lunchtime today and have now unwrapped my new toys. I won't say any more as you will hate me even more...

Then I bet there's a room or two in your house she never ventures into
