Whats a dismantled Air arms TX200 SR worth

[polester]

I've got a tx200 sr in a box in bits and just want to know what it's rough value is.

The stock has been refinished ok ish
The barrel and action have rust spots
All the bits are there as far as I know, there is a new cocking lever but no retaining ball bearing end

Thanks

About 100 quid as it sounds like bits are missing and a reblue is needed

I'd have said a bit more Marty, maybe £150 ?

Here's how I work it out:

Really nice original SR, beech stock: £350

Less blueing, post, etc £80

Less missing bit £20

Less stock been messed with, reduction in value compared to nice unmessed with £80 (conservatively)

Assuming DIY so no reduction for reassy costs

Assuming stock is as it is and no further work needed

Gives a final value of £170.

BUT there is the why the hell should I bother factor - at £170, knowing it would end up costing me the same as a needs nothing doing example - I'd have to shave off the £70 at least to make it worth my while to end up with a nice but non originally finished stock for a reasonable price all in.

BUT what's logic got to do with it. As is usual cheap guns never are and this would sell for more than £100. Nowadays my policy is to buy nice guns that don't need anything doing to them. Even at strong money, they are still bargains compared to the cheap ones!
