    Valuations for rifles like this are difficult. (Mk6 - minter)
    There are a few for sale on the net at the moment - all dealers which will reflect the highest price possible, the highest £295 (which I would have thought was high) and ranging in price to £150.
    None are 'minters' nor are boxed or have scopes etc!
    The Mk6 (as far as I am aware) is not one of the very 'collectable' or 'rarer' airsporters, or particularly 'sought after', however, someone wanting one may agree to differ on that and any Airsporter is a worthy rifle. (and some may not agree with that too)
    A private sale will reflect in a lower price, but the mint condition, boxed with scope etc should reflect a higher price.
    Generally rifles like this will sell what someone is prepared to pay for it and the seller is willing to accept.
    Additionally, the price will reflect what other rifles of the same type/quality may sell for.
    Sorry I cannot be more precise - I am not an 'expert', nor a valuer - perhaps one of the other lads who know more about values will come along with a better valuation for you!

    P.P.S. Is that the right scope size as it appears very small?

    Factory fresh mint then £250 with the extras. £200 easy. All because it is boxed and factory fresh.

    Lesser examples in free fall.

    Thanks for the replies guys, the scope size is quoted in the auction advert . Going to have a look this afternoon will let you know what I find.
    You can view this item at Mitchells auction Cockermouth can't link it but fairly straight forward to find .
    Thanks

    Its a odd auction, some punters and a few dealers who know prices and some stuff goes for more than buying new in the shops and other stuff is ok. Think its 20 % commision on hammer price too so do your maths.
