There can't be many places doing them new for £199 any more.

Places near me sell them for around £240 not that i would ever buy anything from my local shops out of principal !
That was two years ago they wanted to charge that much .

Although they are almost the cheapest hw they hold there money better than the rest.

I'd get one new at £195, why take on someone else's bodge ups as the will be plenty of crap 99's about. I'd save yourself the hassle having to sort one and buy something else.

Yep , have to admit , I know they are not everybody's cup of tea , but my Walther Terrus shoots better than any HW99 I've ever had .

I was going to suggest the Terrus Alan, if I could get past the cheap internals I would say it was a 99 beater all day long.

What would you consider an appropriate second hand price?

What would you consider an appropriate second hand price?

Must admit the 99s do seem to hold there value slightly higher than the 2/3 usual rule.

For example say for arguments sake £200 new price if using the 2/3 used selling price for something in say decent condition by my maths that would make it £133

Very rarely to they come up for resale at that price usually they seem to be in the £150-160 area.

Obviously the 2/3 rule is only a guide as anything that’s popular or in demand can create its own niche price.
