An Air Arms Pro Elite .177 £800 plus fees, someone was keen
every time I added 30% and collection costs........not for me
well I got a couple of bits, one for far less than I was willing to pay and the other for what I was willing to pay so I have gone away a happy boy
Just been looking at the results. Looks like some stuff achieved really good prices, but some of the less rare items did go through at quite reasonable prices. I've seen some people selling things privately for higher prices. I imagine whoever the seller of the collection is will be feeling very happy with the overall result, and a lot of collectors have picked up items that will look good in their cabinets.
The collection belonged to the late Professor Mike Wright or at least the vast majority.
The park is already on freeads for sale for £750 along with a 8-32 x 44 scope. The new seller is even using the pictures from the auction to sell them both. Trying to make a quick £!!! Oh just noticed he is selling due to reducing his collection...wow and he only brought it today? Mach 1.5
With a few notable exceptions it was like watching an auction from 25 years ago. The dealers would have had plenty of opportunity to replenish their stocks (no pun intended!).
Surprized at the Abas Majors prices, more than some dealers ask. lst one at 650 with what looked like replacement grips. and the 2nd one going for 800 hammer prices. l sold one in better condition also with the plum cocking arm at Kempton in Sept for 525 l thought the cromed WR highest possible was a fair-good buy at 650 hammer. l though the early Webley Mk1 with all the engraving done by D.B in what looked like a repro canvass case was a good buy at 400 hammer. l would have thought the engraving would have cost a lot to do.
