Leftie prices :-(

[mrgeoff]

Why is it when I try to buy a leftie, it's rare and worth a zillion times more than a righty, buy when you try to sell one, you just can't, even for reasonable righty money, and end up dropping the price a load.
Am I just expecting too much from fellow human beings? :-(

Market share is ~ 1 tenth the size of the total market. Therefore they cost more to manufacture, and there's a smaller demographic to sell to.

My old boss told me that most geniuses are left handed and that all the people that have ever walked in the moon are left handed.

So suck it up, clever bloke. Us right handed masses have to make do with substandard brains and cheap guns

Pete the argument isn't about relative market size but discrimination which is illegal. I have always contended that selling LH products at a higher price than the same item for RH users is discriminatory but I am told that it probably is just about legal and no one would be prepared to risk the amount of money involved to bring a legal challenge to put it to the test.. Clearly all measures to aid 'minorities' involves an element of extra cost but in most cases the public is prepared to accept the extra in the interests of the common good.

Having a clear out.
Have 3 near new top of the range left handed Match target Air pistols.
Plus about 6-8 left handed grips.

Same price as the right handed. ;0)

Hi Nick

I am a 'lefty' and after a 10m pistol, can you let me know what pistols you have for sale and also which left hand grips.

When I was selling my webleys to raise funds lots (well relatively!!!) of left hand pistols for sale, now hard to find

cheers

Not true Geoff. You are right when considering new purchases but second hand I've always found buyers for left hand rifles-generally speaking, grateful left handed shooters!! Likewise when buying it doesn't usually take me long to find what I want.
