This was indeed a BIN (inc all fees) price in the unsold auction lots sale... (I had registered / viewed, hence getting the email - came out very quickly after the auction itself ended)

Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

Done my bit for the BBS: http://www.airgunbbs.com/showthread....-being-a-mod-… now I’m a game-keeper turned poacher.
The collector formerly known as micky
Was this the same rifle that was put up about 2 years ago at around £2000 starting price and didn't sell. or is my memory playing up again.
A good buy for someone at £1300 all in.
It wasn't me
I was at the auction where the Double Express that Gareth wrote about was sold.
It was a local auction in Chatham, Medway Towns, a local lady's brother had died and had left a large collection of firearms, including I believe some naughty ones, these were collected by a local FEO.
She contacted a local RFD who took possession of the non naughty ones and a load of ammo.
She showed him two airguns, the Double Express fitted with an Optima Gamekeeper scope and a Whiscombe JW 60 or 65 and said make me an offer, I don't want a lot for them, he said I don't do airguns, so they went to the auction with all the household stuff.
A local chap named Richard, posted on the BBS the details of the air rifles and the auction.
I thought I'd go and have a look, the bidding started very slowly and I think there were only two bidders, me and the other guy.
I went up to around £1400- £1600 or so on each one, but the other guy got them.
She saw me bidding, and afterwards told me she was astonished, she couldn't believe how much they went for, she said she would've taken £100 each for them and been happy.
I definitely got auction fever, because I think at the time the Whizzer was worth about £1300, the Double Express I wasn't sure about.
The Double Express went into the next Holts auction with a SP of £2500, but I'm fairly sure it didn't sell.
I know a member on here bought a Double Express last year that didn't operate for £2500 or £3000, he did tell me how much he paid but I can't remember
