inherited vintage air rifles and spares help needed

[Grayling]

I just hope something can be sorted so everyone is happy, Bat gets the price he wants, which seems an excellent price IMHO and the amassed parts then get sold on to us at a decent mark up for the guy who has £1500 to spare. But there is a lot of work sorting that lot out for some one, so maybe a large mark up would be fair to the buyer. Problem is, most of us have Champagne taste, but only beer money to spend . A lot of the parts I saw on those photo's are highly desirable to a lot of guys on here and we haven't seen what stocks there are yet. But there's also bound to be a lot of those bits n pieces that are more or less worthless or next to worthless at least. I would still dearly like to see this ''Treasure hoard'' in its entirety even if none of it ends up in my grubby little hands .

^^^ My thoughts put into words ^^^. You've had sound advice from the great, the good and the extremely knowledgeable. Everyone with an interest in this sort of thing ( not tucked up in a Trappist monastery anyway) must surely be aware of your hoard by now so I think you'll simply have to make your mind up. Toss a coin - and then see how you feel about the result. It works for me.

To sum up - maximum profit versus minimum effort , or a combination thereof , target contentment .

Good luck with that !
ATVB, Mick

Gary makes a good point Bat. If you've now decided to sell the parts as a single lot, you'll need to illustrate more clearly what is there. From what I've heard there's quite a lot more than appears in the pics on this thread and it would certainly help someone work out more closely what sort of margin they could make if they bought the lot.

Apologies if this has been mentioned before:
Have you considered taking a load along to the sale event being organised in Sutton Coldfield on 1 July? Details are around on the forum. Although I guess this may mean a little legwork to set some prices .... But then some attendees may help you on the day as well.
Cheers, Phil

I know I'm getting old and have had way to many blows to the head over the years, thought I was going senile there for a bit, yet when I logged on this morning I could've sworn there were a lot more posts on this thread than there are now . Whats happened to some of the posts .

Gareth oh vernerable and hallowed MOD of collectables and beyond, can you see whats happened here.

I have a feeling that the OP stated a price for the lot, making it into sales thread technically. As such, I suspect related posts may have gone bye-bye

i deleted a post which did say that paul as not to get thrown off.

Ye that makes perfect sense, they are the posts that have vanished.
