woeful fwb value please

[Mole trapper]

Morning all.
I have been haggling with a chap with an fwb 124 it has an original period scope , 3-9X32 I think, anyway it started out at £350 went down to £300, then the guy showed some different pictures, rust on the barrel and worse still stock has been broken off at the pistol grip, put back well, but still there, the guy says he will take £250 for a quick sale! I said I would ask the learned gentlemen on here for a true valuation.
Thank you for looking,
Jamie.

Look for another example, if the guy hasn't told you from the onset about it's condition who knows what other misery awaits

£250-70 ish should buy you a really, really nice original example once you’ve waded through the overpriced stuff on g*nstar etc. Hold out I say.

Look out in freeads or gunstar, you'll get a really nice example for 250-300. Frankly he's taking the p### and thinks it's worth more than it is.

I bough a slightly tatty one with light surface rust but intact stock for just over a ton. £75-£85 sounds right.
For £250 it should be damn near perfect.

Walk away is what I say.

Lots made, popular rifle.
£250 should get a lightly used one, excellent. Two years ago you could have got a mint one for that.
Scrappy ones £140, broken stock ones with rust under £100.

Again still plenty out there. Unless you have a pile of FWB Sports to repair and need spares then why bother at any price for a poor example??

Period scope? Depends what it is. Can be £80 or £25. Mounts £5 or £45. Most that are quite nice add £30 to the value.
