    IMO yes you are mate probably by 20 on each and not wanting to post reduces market. I've got two nice mk5 that stand me at 55 for both.

    Hi, I bought & Sold these about 8 years ago from York cadets, ( 19 + Spares & Sights )
    They all sold for around ££65-£70 + post ( Around £8 then )
    I still have some spares & Sights.





    As was mentioned in an earlier post , The values of a number of older guns have gone down rather dramatically,Guns like Webley Mk111,s , Mercury , Airsporter,s , & Scorpion & Crossman 13** series pistols, & Even Innova,s.
    But especially Meteors ?

    The price of spares for all of the above have however gone up . Especially plastic sights, Obviously they break,
    & Are no longer available.
