Optima Super Moonlighter Value ?

[pastie]

How much would you value an Optima Super Moonlighter 3-9 x 56. Excellent condition and crystal clear ?

[guy]

Anywhere from 75-100 poss more if truly mint with no mount marks or scratches to the donish

[barrel]

I would say you could easily add £50.00 to the above figure, have seen some of these go for silly money on evil bay, if you do want to sell it bide your time as I am sure there will be no shortage of silly low offers.

Kindest regards

I was offered a minter around Christmas for £160 which I was happy to pay but the vendor backed out as he said he didn't need to sell after all. 🙄

Thanks guys...the only thing missing is the original Bikini caps...flip ups instead other than that no crimps or scrapes and very clear lenses and a duplex reticle.
Monster of a scope with a lot of quality even against today's offerings.

Seconded. For some of the airgun mid-life crisis generation (been there, done that), you just have to have a replica of John Darling's HW80 or whatever 80s premium springy/scopy thing you lusted after shortly before you discovered girls.

Give it a couple of years and there will be a rush of interest in buying old AA S300s and Titans. Actually that may have already started.

Hay I resemble that remark! I'm now on midlife crisis 6/7 and I'm still buying 70,s -90,s stuff, I have some serious rose tinted glasses 🙄

[pastie]

OOOhhh mid life crisis....I have owned my HW80 since 1984...and it's still as good as ever...used a 4x40 then before the Moonie ...I couldn't have imagined how I would ever have given my rifle up (girlies or not).....My old man and I used to have competitions shooting the heads off matches...He's gone over a decade, and my son has his shoot outs with me now...(the old man), it's like the circle of life !....Or death if a rat !

3rd'd I sold one here last year for £150, in great condition with original box & literature. It came with a big titan mpt & with the big tasco 50mm i sold too made the mpt cost me £90. (Grins smugly) the mpt got a little whitetail stuck on it straight away which suits it perfectly.

It wasn’t last year it was the year before as I bought it and the other scope that came with your mpt but as younsay it was boxed mint condition. As said above it may go for more on but every one has their own view on what is good and mint condition.

I have never done the PCP thing, but if I did, the MPT would be at the top of my list.

My objective, logical, rigorous and wholly scientific assessment of the MPT, based on looking at pictures in magazines in the 90s, was that it was cool.
