    Question A collection of collectables for valuation.

    Hello Folks. Some years ago I inherited this collection from my father and I've decided it's time for someone else to enjoy them. The trouble is knowing what a fair price to ask would be, Fair to me that is, and fair to the buyer and I hope you will be able to give me some guidance in this. I would also prefer them to go as a job lot at one price, easier for me that way.
    The collection is as follows:-
    Airgun Condition
    Feinwerkbau Model 300S excellent in wood case
    Feinwerkbau Model 65 pistol like new in wood case
    Feinwerkbau Sports 124 excellent
    Feinwerkbau Sports 127 excellent
    Weirauch HW 35 excellent
    Sharp Ace .177 fair with fore & back sight
    Sharp Innova .177 fair with fore & back sight
    Original 50 very good
    Crossman Model 377 .177 very good in box
    BSA about 1906 S/No 11341 works very well, exterior deeply
    rust pitted, but interesting
    BSA Airsporter Mk 1 works very well, surface rusted
    BSA Airsporter Mk 1 AS above
    BSA Cadet Major Recently restored
    Plus a number of scopes, Tasco, Weaver, a Merlin and a ASI.
    Also a dozen or more main springs, some new and some used,
    and at least 3 dozen tins of pellets of different types and manufacture

    This was my fathers hobby in which he spent his time tuning and maintaining his guns, so the buyer can be sure they are all in good working order.

    Anyway there you have it. I know it maybe a bit much to ask but what do you all reckon? Dave.

    Condition is everything. You should get about £1500 give or take 20% for the lot. You need pictures for individual prices. Nice collection though prices are a bit low just this minute. I'm sure there is a home to be found for all of them.

    OK Dave, here are a few very rough ranges based purely on your descriptions and relating to my impression of the sort of values realised on this BBS in the recent past. But as Muskett says, prices are low at the moment for obvious reasons. For more detailed estimates you will need to attach some nice clear photos. Often it's small details as to the exact model, condition, accessories etc which make all the difference in a valuation.... and of course even then the actual values will depend on who's viewing on the day you put them up for sale. Hope this helps a little.

    Ideally several people would chip in with their own opinions and you can take an average of the contributions.

    Sharps

    As stated difficult without pictures but as a rough guide:

    Sharp Innova - about 120 quid

    Sharp Ace - about 200 quid

    Just my opinion

    Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
