Valuation Please, FX MK 1 Verminator in 22 , Good Condition / Working Order with Case

[angrybear]

Hello, Thanks, i was thinking around £450/£500 plus post as it cost quite a few ££ss to have a service, have seen some in gun shop at £650 plus

I'd think £500 about correct, dealers by law have to give a guarantee plus have a shop to support so will always charge a lot more.

They're well within size to post RMSD with the full value covered by insurance,
But do remember to mark it "surface mail only", many years back now but mine was refused air freight by the CAA as obviously a gun when Xray'd.
Luckily the buyer immediately reported it's non arrival to me & I spoke to RM customer services, told them it was an air gun, and they sent it on by road.

Hello, i have always used Parcel Force 48

Hello, i have always used Parcel Force 48

As do I for long rifles, because it's the only legal Parcel-force service but the insurance/compensation is limited to £150.
But
Royal Mail (a different company to Parcel-force) also legally carry 'guns for sporting use' if they fit the RM size limits,
RMSD has basic compensation of £750 & I have an email stating they cover enhanced compensation on guns, which Parcel-force do not.

The only issue is that RMSD will move by air, & the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) do not allow guns as unaccompanied baggage,
so guns must be marked "surface mail only" to go by road.
