    Tempest prices

    I'm not very good with computers and the like and the wife has to get me onto sites. I've been interested in gettting a tempest recently and have been looking around for one. Ideally a boxed one would be the thing, at the right price. I was looking at another site and saw one advetized for £180 plus post. Surely that is well over the top for an unboxed gun?

    £180 should get you an boxed brummie Tempest in pretty much as good as new condition.

    It depends where you buy from. £180 is more of a shop retail price, but there are plenty of decent boxed Birmingham Tempests out there, so be patient for a little longer. A decent unboxed one would be about £120-£140 posted from a private seller. If you pop an ad in wanted section on this site you may well get some response. Good luck - they are great little pistols.

    The last UK production run were sold for £120 in a brown box. There were a lot sold. Anything above £140 should be virtually mint. More then mint and the older retail pictured box with extras.
    Just a good example then £80 to £100.
    Great guns.

    I have an unfired brown box tempest that I paid £275 for from a dealer and an as new older black boxed tempest with a paperwork and accesories that I paid £250 for as a private sale

    They seem to be going up I price lately so expect to pay £200-250 for a nice boxed example
    £140-170 for a tidy unboxed example and £100-£120 for a used working condition example

    Tempest.

    Most certainly £180 to £200 for a unboxed nearly new example is about the right price. But a basic near new boxed one would be £250, in a original deluxe Webley box a bit more £275 280. Like said prices are doing well you can not buy a new one from Webley G.B. The name went to Turkey. I have sold a few at these prices with very satisfied buyers.

    Time flies. Last May I bought a mint unboxed Tempest on here for £125 posted from HW777

    For comparison, a gun shop I use in Broadway has a near mint (I’ve seen it) late Hurricane in brown box with papers, pellets etc for £295

    Perkin Guns currently have a nice condition unboxed one for £130 (http://perkinguns.co.uk/nvn-22/) and a boxed one with literature for £215 ( http://perkinguns.co.uk/nvn-22/), which are not bad prices for a dealer. There is the usual problem of delivery of course, if you do not live in the vicinity (Staverton Northants.), and they charge an extra £30 to send to your local rfd.

    I bought both the above tempest and hurricane from perkins,they have a nice selection of classic pistols,a little on the expensive side,even for a dealer but if you want something that's not easy to get then you have to pay whatever price it is to buy it I guess although I always try to buy private if I can

    The grey card postal slip case is also included.
    There are only a few pellets remaining in the tin.
