Price advice, please, on two rifles

[stevew]

I need to sell two of my rifles. Neither is run-of-the-mill, so fixing a price is a problem:
Theoben Sirocco (not the 2000, the older version), FAC, .22, L/H American walnut stock by Don Robinson but actually quite restrained and pretty, slim silencer, old Tasco 4x40 scope.
Diana 34, .177, beautiful L/H Tyrolean stock, Venom silencer, RWS 4-12x40 PA scope.

Neither rifle is mint, the Theoben's stock is used but not abused though the metal work is in VGC. The Diana's stock is better, two small dings and again the metal is very good.

Any ideas/suggestions for pricing, please?

Sorry Steve; no idea but cursing that the Diana's beautiful cheekpiece is on the wrong side...

Steve, The Diana is an akward one to price. Customised spring guns seem to go for less and less lately.
If you worked out how much you spent on the rifle (assuming you have had it from new) you would probably go white (i have done this many times with my cusomised springers lately!!).

Most go for 65% of their origial cost you could try it that way??

Dont have clue on the Theoben

Nice idea, and I know exactly what you mean - I've done that with other rifles - but I bought both of these second-hand ( the Diana from this forum) and other than TLC haven't really spent on them. The 65% rule is difficult as, given their age, new prices aren't easy to discover or, I suspect, relevant this long after they were new.

nealie I'd like to say thanks for your suggestion......but I can't
