BSA Mk11 Airsporter Valuation Required

[Mark D]

I will just let the pictures do the talking on this valuation:

How difficult it is in the current financial climate to put a value on an item, However, what a beauty!
Personally I would not feel robbed to part with £250 for this example. ( this is a personal opinion and not a professional valuation )

Yes indeed a beautiful example! Despite the recession someone will fall for this!!

Spot on for me Mike

Are you looking for a valuation with a view to selling it?

This is not an offer to buy - just want to know whether I should be keeping a 24 hr watch on the sales sections for the next few days!!!!

There was a complaint here recently about valuations being of little worth because they don't involve people putting their money where their mouths are etc etc. Well here's mine: I will pay £275 posted for this beauty if that is the price on a sales thread (and if I see it in time).

I've already got the Red Bulls in and I'm refresshing the Collectables and For Sales sections every couple of seconds. looks like it might be a long couple of days

We both know that you don't need it Paul, give the rest of us a chance, eh?

You're right of course - but how can you look at a gun like that and not want it regardless. I still say these are the most beautiful air rifles ever made.

If BSA had the sense to make (in England) a top quality reproduction of these guns with top notch walnut and modern full power internals, I'm certain they'd sell as many as they could turn out even at £350 ~ £400 i.e. Prosport territory.

Thanks for all the comments guy's, it is clear why this is the best section on the BBS - best keep stum about the red bull, just in case we get any more visits from undesirables If i put this up for sale it will only go on in this section and it wont be before Friday 11th Sept

Thanks for telling us Mark - I can now go to bed and sleep soundly! (Hopefully to dream though!)

Seriously though, its a beautiful example of a great gun. You'll have no problem selling it if and when you decide to do so.

What a beauty to behold!

My own Mk 2 has seen many winters, and many summers too. The related seasons 'spring' and 'autumn' have engraved on it a patina reflecting its use as a working rifle and I would never part with it.

But if it were to disappear, I should be glad to have another such as the one advertised.

The best thing is to have at least a couple of such guns in reserve - at least that's what I'm trying to convince my wife.
