    Air Pistol

    I purchased an .177 air pistol on a bit of a whim, with a silencer and one of them red dot jobby sights. I have not shot 10 pellets through it, and it is stored and doing nothing, laid in my shooting box. It's a pcp single shot by the way.

    I will not name the make as I don't want the Mods to think I am trying to sell on this post. I will post it on the sales section.

    But here is my question guys, pistol £300+, silencer £25, red dot jobby £40, and accucover £20, say £380. I don't want to rob myself - or anyone else come to that, but what % of it's new price will it have lost. Where should I pitch the price, I know it would be just a ball park figure, but it would help me. What are the "best" single shot pcp makes, as I have no idea.

    Thank You.
    Calm or unflinching in face of trouble, defeat, or loss. May God defend me from my friends; I can defend myself from my enemies. If you can read this then thank a teacher. If you can read this in English then thank a soldier!.

    Search this site for old posts on your specific brand 1st to get an idea.

    If no joy, search the likes of gunstar, guntrader, gunmart, etc for similar items.

    Some makes hold their values more than others

    Name the pistol and just ask for a valuation if you like, its not against any forum rules and plenty of others do it on here.

    (just don't start selling it off the back of that thread....)

    the general rule of thumb seams to be about two thirds of the new price.
    but present it well with good photos and it might do a bit more

    Best makes, that is, most familiar one's at top level: Morini, Walther, FWB, Anschutz, Steyr
    At beginners level, Rohm. (= most familiar).
    I suspect its a Rohm.

    We win........A Brocock Atomic has just popped up in the for sale section from the OP

    Although why he entitled his ad 'Crossman' spelt wrongly, I'm not sure?
