    It would be advisable to list all of the guns and spares before seeking values, as it's virtually impossible to advise without.
    There are many forum members knowledgeable in different makes, so I'm sure advice on values won't be difficult to obtain.

    lots of people on here can help. It would be best if you listed them and when you can photograph them. Condition is everything for a collector and makes a real difference on price

    On here? Hundreds of folk. You will need photos to host via a photo hosting site like Photobucket, and manufacturers names, model names (where displayed), and serial numbers as a starter for ten . Good luck and I/we look forward to hearing what you have. Beware the silent helping hand by p-m however, as anyone operating under the radar like that may have an agenda?

    Offers to buy via pm from a valuation thread is seriously frowned upon and often results in the perpetrator being banned!

    The very thought! And voiced in the venerable collectables section too. Shame on you Gareth.

    P.S. message to bat7x64: I'm available 24/7 for a no-agenda consultation by PM. Obviously, if you felt a first refusal when the time came to sell would be an appropriate gesture, who would I be to argue with that...?

    In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

    As stated above, a full description of each gun is needed. Plus good quality photo's, if you need photo's hosting then email them to the address in my profile.

    You may not want offers by PM, but don't collapse with shock if you get offers by email.....
