Hi, they seem to go anywhere between £250/£400 depending on condition and if they have been resealed.

Thanks for that would you say anything above £400 is too much or does it depend on the condition etc for say a mod 80

I guess if it was mint, with all the accessories/ original case and new seals then maybe it would be worth more than £400. Its finding the right person that wants one.

I was just looking for one just seen so many different prices it’s confusing just don’t want to over pay but obviously willing to pay what they are worth

As with anything else, valuations are only a guide.
The true value of an item, will be the price it sells for.

Lots of external factors will determine value, including the season / time of year and how much demand for a particular item, there is at the time of sale.
What an item may be worth, to one buyer, could be very different to another buyer

Very true and thanks for your input

I've bought quite a few items, way above any given estimates
But, they're worth what I paid, to me.

That makes total sense definitely can appreciate where your coming from with that just wanted to get a feel for what people thought though what’s worth something to someone isn’t always worth the same to someone else thanks for your reply

Price is often higher where there is a recent service, as a seal kit for one of these is £70 just for the seals. Also can be more if more than just the pistol, even in good condition. Bits that could add £200 to a pistol would be FWB hard case, spare sight elements, weights, tools, manual, associated paperwork like an original receipt. Price is also variable depending on how many come into the market at any time. Holts have quite few on the sealed bid December sale, and while you will have to factor in sales percentage and shipping you can either watch to see what they go for or put in a bid and see what you get.
