He does takes a while to reply but seems to be a very nice guy. He is selling around 1200 airguns from a collector's estate so he's obviously very busy. I've just purchased a gun from him, he checked it first as some are not in great operating condition as JS mentioned earlier. What's more, he charged me a very reasonable $20 for dealer to dealer delivery so I'm pretty impressed I'd have to say.

He is totally flat out with all the enquiries from the trademe listings. I managed to talk to him a couple of days ago.

How did you manage to get a response from Andy? I've emailed him and done an enquiry via his web site with no response.

Might have to hide that one under the xmas tree with a "love from the labradors" card on it

You are quite right - anything is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I think you will find lots of people in this forum who share your "problem" |

Value ? I think the value of anything is what you - or someone else- is prepared to pay for it .
Something I paid 200 bucks for might sell next week for 50 or 500 - the value is still what someone will pay for it ,irrespective of what I may have paid. "old enough to know better - not too concerned what others think" might be more to the truth

Yeah - welcome. At least you are spending $$$ on something that should at least hold it's value - not like booze and slow horses! Maybe your tag line should read "old enough to know better - young enough not to care"

Yeah - I know David at Magnum Sports well - we have similar interests in rifles.
My oldest airgun is a 1931 BSA Tap loader , then on through post WW2 Dianas and Milbros and Crosmans and assorted other , mostly non-break-barrel guns up to modern times pump up rifles and side levers. And a Gat pistol cos why not?

Check out the Treasure trove of airguns for sale topic in the Flubs General Discussion forum. There are some nice old rifles and pistols available in Christchurch at present.
