    Ultra rare vintage BSA part on the bay

    I thought I would be a gent and share the chances of winning this, as I don't need one...item number 330868674157.

    Don't forget to say thank you for this heads up if you are the lucky one at the head of the stampede

    (as the seller rightly says.....you will never see another one!!!).

    Bloody ell Edster £95. Bet it goes at that price as well. Guy selling sounds a wee bit shady to me by the way he worded the auction description IMHO re the serial number.

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

    I take it from comments on here the seller is already known to members Danny.

    Yes, Gary. He is listed as a dealer on Gunstar yet offers to send post-War airguns direct to buyers (illegal for dealers) and uses descriptions like "ultra-rare" or "you'll never see one for sale again" for common or garden rifles.

    I've never dealt with him so as far as I know he is harmless, but various things about his selling style ring alarm bells...

    He was on here for a little while before the mods rumbled him as a dealer, which wasn't hard since he used the same name he uses to trade on Gunstar...

    Heard the name mentioned on other forums to Danny, but thanks for the heads up. I'm still fairly new to actual collecting so that is valuable info, certainly worth remembering and watching out for.

    If you go on gunstar you can buy it right now without bidding on Flea/bay.
