Boxed hurricane .177, rough value?

[512k]

I've had a dig around in the sales section but there doesn't seem to be too many of these around in .177 so I'm a bit stuck. I've also temporarily misplaced my camera charger so I've not got any pictures for the moment.

I have one that I may be looking to sell, I took it to MAG last week but their offer on part exchange was frankly insulting so I kept hold of it. It's in excellent condition, the lettering is 100% intact, sights all present and correct, the breech seal looks like new, in full working order, complete with cardboard box which is intact but a bit worn, scope rail, allen key and paperwork. The only mark on it anywhere is some very minor wear on the barrel at the breech where it locks up.

Ballpark figure anyone?

£100 - £120 plus postage? Maybe a bit more if it's the nice white printed box, before Webley saved money on the plain brown box?

Plain brown box. MAG only offered me £70, miserable gits.

Ah, well that's probably all any RFD would want to give... as they'd say, they have to charge 20% VAT when they sell it on, guarantee it, bank charges, overheads etc.

Don't be offended mate its just the trade price. Most tight gits on here would only want to give you £80. Posted!

£70 seems reasonable to me, remember they are taking on stock that may or may not sell and they have all of the liability. Of course, as a business they want some profit in it as well.

Without the scope to go with it, and considering it's a fairly late one judging by the plain brown box, I'd go with a £100-£115 asking price.

Too low IMHO, I bought a near mint .177 hurricane with a case for about £85, a boxed .22 hurricane will get £120 so add 10% for a .177. Example.

Try protek for a guide price, if no one buys it, keep it and hold on as you don't see many .177 hurricanes about.

The shop not only has to make a profit but also pay 20% VAT, if MAR re-sold the gun at £100, they only make a tenner.

Sounds reasonable really, you want the easy option & they've got to make a living...and they certainly won't be holidaying in St. Kitts on the profit from your Hurricane
