    Goldstar for only £140 posted

    Dave (Bonnie & Clyde) is selling a .22 cal BSA Goldstar 10-shot repeater for £140 posted - Thought I would highlight this for collectables because it's a real bargain and won't be there long I suspect.

    In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

    Looks like I was wrong about it selling quickly. What is going on in the second hand airgun market? It seems to be FUBAR, unless it's a boxed Webley pistol or other perennially desirable model that's for sale.

    Don't think there is anything wrong with the market! There's collectable and there's well used knocked about models and if the latter, good pics are essential to aid the decision making process!

    I'm sure that when desirability and price match in the mind of the potential buyer; it will sell!

    Was very tempted myself but can't assess the condition!

    Fair enough David, I wouldn't second guess your decision on this particular gun. Having dealt with Dave in the past I would personally have no problem taking his word on condition but certainly wouldn't blame anyone else for being more cautious.

    It wasn't just this gun I was commenting on actually - there seem to have been quite a few guns coming up recently that I think would have been snapped up instantly only a few months ago. I know other threads have dealt with possible reasons for this so we don't need to revisit them.

    I'm just a bit shocked at the supply and demand equation at the moment.

    I pretty much agree with Garvin on his assessment, anyway, here is quite a well written report of the (American power level version) Goldstar for anyone not familiar with this model

    I don't think there is much spare money about these days
