Are these asking prices or achieved sales? - both are very different animals.
Both come up from time to time, but are not exactly ten a penny here either...
This week in US on the bay 2 different Hy-Score Phoenix Sporter Air Pistols.
1. Normal blued in box
2. Chrome with silencer in box
The only Hy-Score I need to complete my collection was left in the dust well before the last day. The Chrome I know is very rare and in the US you never see any of them. You guys need to bring them over here!

Final selling prices. The blued Pistol didn’t surprise me but the chrome showed a couple of guys just would not let go. Though in good shape the chrome was not mint at all. Very surprising to see 2 in one week from different sellers. Only seen one other in my 3 years as a collector. Irony the US Hy-scores are fun to collect and very affordable. I have the 5 models they offered. Sportsters are the only real challenge they made those only 2 years.

I traded four cased ones to the USA. When Young's Airguns put them on display I couldn't resist them. bought 8 in the end!
I bought a blued .177 Phoenix Hy Score a couple of months ago.
Mainly because I liked the blunt looks and the calibre.
Good condition.
No silencer or box but a good shooter with more power than the USA ones I've had.
I paid around $150.
l have to agree with what you say on on paying a lot of money for something that is rare, like the Firefly gat type pistol that goes for a lot of money. something that l would like to own. but you can buy a Westly Richards Highest Possible pistol for the same type of money. but each to their own.
They don't seem very common here in the UK but do come up for sale occasionally, I swapped two Webley pistols (slant grip Mk1 and a Senior if I recall correctly), The wife wasn't happy as for some reason she likes Wobbly pistols!
