    The e-bay link seems to still be censored. For info, the item in question was an old BSA scope of the type for a MkII Airsporter or Meteor.
    Item ID 150414368529
    The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.

    Given that a lump of cardboard with a label seems to be worth around £70~£80.....A precision optical instrument for £151 seems cheap

    Is it perhaps attached to the said 'sporter or Meteor?

    Well it is unused, so will attract a super-anorak premium.

    Also, genuine BSA 15mm clamps for the odd-size four-slot rail! Although I think Knibbs has some in stock.

    And your BSA 'combo' looks very attractive too! What sort of groups will you be getting with the Mk 2 and decent pellets?

    I had a quick look at the bid history......one guy stopped at £100ish, and two others took it to the final amount. So 3 people were willing to pay £100 plus...The thing is, if you are lucky enough to have a mint Mk2 airsporter, then imagine how good the outfit would look topped with this!.....I have seen, owned and sold at least 20 of various types of BSA branded scopes, they can go for as little as £8 for the later 70's types, but in every case the condition/packaging seems to determine the price, with a box and papers normally making a huge difference...Like the Webley pistol stuff that was discussed on here a while back....as the guy selling said, he has been collecting for 35 years, and not seen another NIB example, so I suppose if you are looking for one, it was the best example you could have wished for, and may be your only chance for years!

    At which point, you can't use the use the item because it ceases to be 'NIB' and youv'e got a mint item in a very expensive piece of cardboard......I can see the point if you collect packaging, but not if you have any real interest in the airgun itself.
