For Sale - Webley Mk3 SuperTarget air rifle .177 with sights

[jmchattie]

Good morning,

Based on the valuations kindly received by the forum members, I have the following for sale:

Webley Mk3 SuperTarget air rifle .177 with sights - £350
I inherited it 12 years ago and it has been stored in a loft for at least the last 18 years. I have no history other than I know exactly where it has been for the past ~25years

I have placed a few pictures here:

I would certainly prefer to deliver locally because I will only sell to somebody over 18. I live in South Cambridge, near Sawston.

Any questions or for more photos, please ask.

Price now reduced to £300, including the sights. I've added a couple of photos of the Webley symbol (which some members have requested to see).

Please note I will not post. Pick up from Sawston, south Cambridgeshire or I could arrange to drive it to you if you're not across the country.

Thanks.

I'm open to offers - the valuation was made by forum members so I used that price but I'll consider offers by PM.
Again, I wont post the rifle because I don't know who it's going to.

Once sold I will add the sale price to this thread.

Refusing to post it does limit your market considerably...

Most people who sell on here don't know who their item is going to.

You are limiting your sale options.

If the buyer is a minor, I don't think "I didn't know" will go down very well. If people want to take the chance that's up to them. But saying that other people do it doesn't mean it's right.

I'll deliver locally, maybe upto 50 miles or so, but I'll still not post it.

Up to you, of course...

Taken from my stickie on posting airguns in Sales:

To protect yourself when selling to an unknown buyer via the post, you should at minimum demand a declaration from the buyer that they are aged over 18. If you have any doubts then ask for documentary proof.

If you sell to someone under 18 you commit a criminal offence. But you have a defence "if you can prove that you believed the young person was over 18 or that you had reasonable grounds for believing so". For more info see the BASC/ACPO guide to the VCR Act <HERE>

Cant really tell from the pictures; is the action rusty or is it dust?
