    Auction prices

    Ive given up collecting,so I took two of my rifles to a local auction
    One was a boxed Stutzen which sold for £540,the other was a Goldstar
    which went for £500.Both were in very good condition.

    Cracking prices. I usually find the complete opposite if I'm honest, tho I did make £9 profit on a single barrel 12 bore recently because I spray painted the barrel 🙄
    Super soaker 3000 (water), nerf fang (foam), noisy cricket (energy), m41a pulse rifle (10x24), Gat gun (.177)

    Great hammer prices. How much of the £1040 did you actually get after all action fees had been paid ?

    That is the acid test of how good the sales were.

    Comission Fees are charged to the seller & the buyer on the hammer price, for a buyer it will be 15% for a small auction house to 25% for a major outfit.
    The seller also pays comission of 15% So the auction house earns from both of them.
    For many years good guns particularly English have been seen as an investment, with the coming ban on lead shot i suspect many will have their values slashed.
    Airguns prices seem to be high at the moment, you can bet that if an airgin cert was ever introduced the arse would drop out of the market!
