Valuation please

[lodmoor]

Continuing my clear out I have a Beeman 2004E (also known as P3) for sale but do not know what to ask. It is very similar to the Weirach HW40, comes with instructions and box.

Pic here, more can be supplied if required.

Hi lodmoor, I bought one of those new probably five or six years ago, I think it was about £70 and very accurate. They seem to still be available for about £80 now so you might get £50 -60

cheers torrens

I've seen one new in a shop for £60!

P3 Made In Germany Shipped From United States A Better Gun £65 New

P17 Made In China Not Quite As Good Quality Supposidly

2004 se Not Made Any More .

So considering that airguns must be bought from a registered FAC dealer and cannot be posted unless a private sale, the 2004E is no longer made (does that make it collectable?) and post is included (bearing in mind that this is a valuation thread and I am NOT trying to sell it), would £50 quid be a reasonable asking price??????

Strangely enough it's not in the Blue Book, but based on the similarity to the P3 (does yours say where it is made?) I'd say £50 is fair.

I wouldn't pay more than £30-£40 for a 2004E when you can get a nice muchly superior HW40 for £60-£70...just my opinion for what it's worth.

Er, the HW40, apart from the sights, looks exactly the same as the 2004E and has the same mechanics.

Anyway, this one has Made in China inside.

Eric's partly right,
The polymer on the HW is a little more rigid and the trigger on the HW is better but the older under license models are still an excellent SSP and in good condition should fetch £50 and are easily worth that.
HWs in good condition have gone for more than quoted,
