Harvey......I agree with all of this, I was just trying to work out why it was worth so much to somebody!.....the "box" actually looked more like the insert packaging/protection you get on a scope in a mark I meteor set, rather than the boxes that scopes come in when bought as separate items, so maybe the Mk2 airsporter came in a large box with an accessory tray, which may explain it......Plastic oil bottles, hang tags, and targets and holders etc. for later Airsporter/Mercury models all sell at far and above what you would think reasonable due to people wanting to fill all the sections of a gun box, and get "the full set" ...Has anyone on here got, or know, how Mk2's came in those days?
