if i sell what would my "a" series daystate mk3 be worth?

[WILBA]

hi guys, this is just a query as i have not decided 100% yet but what would my mk3 be worth? it has only had about 200 shots put through it as i work perminant nights now so it is not getting the use it deserves. just looking for a ball park figure. this is the gun only!
thanks
chris

What cal. mate ?

No-one wants a 12 FP .22 ( <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_razz.gif" alt="Razz" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:--> )

PS don't use royal mail if you do flog it <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt="Roll Eyes" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:-->

[gary_cooper]

was my next question :-)

I was toying with the idea of a .177 MK3

[Russ6357]

Several issues here:

1) What condition is the wood/metal work in

2) Can you convince someone you have a good reason to sell it

3) It will have to be significantly less than the cost of a MKIII model b otherwise what would be the point.

Assuming the answers to 1 & 2 are positive then I would think that the value would be between 500 and 600 quid.

Thinking about it, usually 60% of new is a good yardstick for most guns

russ. read the 1st post, iam thinking of selling as i do not get the chance to use it these days due to nightshift being perminant. and at the price i payed for it it is a shame to just leave it sitting in the gun cabinate going to waste. condition is 100% as i really look after my kit. there is not a mark on it anywhere.

.22 is my prefered cal. if you dont want the mk3 bacause its .22, send it to me and ill think about using it on the farm. only thing is theyre bl00dy heavy.

[WILBA]

lighter than a logun sweet16 and much easier to point and shoot. infact it is not much heavier than a rapid. mind you it takes a man to shoot the quality airguns as the wimps can't hack it <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Big Grin" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:--> <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Big Grin" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:-->

p.s. i weigh 11 stone and i found it no trouble to carry!

This is going to hurt.
Like many others, I own an a version. But if you look at jsr's advert you will see what price he is selling them at the moment. It dosent do those who payed full price of £800+ any favours.

I spoke to Tony B at a recent hunter FT and as far as he was concerned, bringing out the b model would not devalue the a's. IMO the a version does have a better stock and a few other finer qualities the b version does not. Owning both models, my preferd version is the a.

Good luck if you decide to sell.

Put an A stock on a B action?

500 is close enough to 60% for my money and since it is so new then a bit over that ahould be OK.

If you are thinking of trading it ask for 450 and they can punt it out at 550 and make a quick ton.

Private sale start at 550 and take 500 or so.

I am on the waiting list for a MKIII with AofA but have bought myself a Pro Sport to play with in the meantime.

[ossypete]

well if anyone is intersted i may have a mk 3 in .177 for sale , sorry to hijack the post please mail me if you want drtails :-)

[Feek]

I had the same conversation with someone from Daystate when I was asking if it was possible to upgrade the original MkIII to a 'b' model. I was told that it's not possible. When I expressed concern that it would devalue the 'a' model I was told that it won't.

Yeah, right <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_frown.gif" alt="Frown" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:-->
