BSA light ?

So would anyone think auction is the best way for them ?

With respect, if the others are no better than the L/Patt, I doubt they would fetch much. If I had to value and list defects on the L/Patt with things like, home made trigger guard, initials in stock and butt screw cover missing. I would say £50 -£75.

Hi Graham. You made mention of 'scrappers', I can only see the BSA.
I presume that you would be needing a valuation before deciding on auction or not?
Perhaps consider complete images in the correct orientation and both sides. full views of the stock, trigger block and cylinder, barrel showing the sights and linkages that would enable members to offer their opinions on value.
Auctions take a bite off the realised top bid and from conversation here, that bite can be a large one.
My opinion? A sale based on the straight up response from the membership would likely afford the best outcome for both parties.
How about images of the 'scrappers' also? There are many seeking to ressurect or source parts.
They would be no good to me as the bus trip is too great and post is probably uneconomic also.
Cheers.

Gareth and Binners good advice got there before me; obviously my typing speed is wanting

Wanted: rear sight for Milbro Diana MK4, the slide elevation type. Or images to replicate from.

Coincidentally the initials on the stock were my late fathers but he never owned one

Hi due to it's condition rust pitting, and the none original trigger guard, plus missing the stock plug. l would say around the £100 + mark.

£70-80 imho

There is a market (and it's probably quite a small one), for folks who like to resurrect "old scrappers", even if they will never be original, or anywhere near prestine, to a functional state and a reasonable condition. But one must accept that the prices are generally a fraction of what the same guns in nice, original condition would fetch. A nice (but not minty) original condition light pattern would be around £200, for example.

I would also echo the advice on selling privately (and this forum is one of the most active); auctions take a massive cut from both seller and buyer, so frankly you are very unlikely to get the best price, unless you have something very rare and desirable...
