Opinions on my advert

[Wegalaxy]

Hello,

This is my advert for a valken which I have owned for a year.

I would just like a second opinion on my own appraisal.

All details of the rifle are in the add and its condition.

Thanks

Personally I think you're asking too much, if it was used but perfect you could expect 70% of the new price but every tiny defect lowers the value, it's also an ex two tone which you haven't declared. If I was selling I'd want as much as possible but if I was buying I'd only offer 50% which is £130.

Just my opinion of course.

I agree with @gavinkempsell. There are too many 'issues' (missing pins, ex 2 tone etc.) to ask anywhere new money. £130 is more realistic but expect lower offers.

Thanks I appreciate the feed back I have adjusted some of the info.

A quick Google search shows these go for £260 new so if it was in good condition and wasn't a repainted 2 tone the 70% rule of thumb would put the asking price at £189. Unfortunately though with the issues already mentioned that's going to knock it down further so is say £130 sounds about right

I have dropped the price to £150 posted.

Is this reasonable?

Thanks

As Dan said, you shouldn't be surprised to see lower offers.

There are M4-based RIFs with programmable MOSFETs (albeit with a shorter barrel and handguard) in that price range that people can buy brand new...

I would say less than £100 with the issues. Valkens pretty much a nothing brand when it comes to AEGs.

Thanks for the help everyone I sold it to a friend of mine for a reasonable price and he is very happy with it. I really do appreciate it.

As long as you're both happy then that's all that matters.
