Talking about people deluding themselves as to the value of their treasured artefact...
It's amazing to me that people can spend their time advertising fairly common airguns at absurd prices, perhaps in the hope that someone with more money than sense will happen along and pay way over the odds.
It's either self-delusion, extreme laziness in not bothering to research what else is on the market, or worst of all, wilful intent to deceive.
For a particularly egregious example of this, check out this Gunstar advert asking £775 for a boxed Webley Senior. It's either disgraceful or very careless.
