Immortal Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I'm going Friday, I can find out a rough idea of prices and post back here if that helps? He says they're open Saturday too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Reading the Zeroin post, the prices mentioned so far aren't amazingly good. About average for second hand stuff... Quote: "Trying to price this stuff up is a bit of a nightmare if Im honest, the appraisal values are wildly different, where it is at currently is going on what people have already paid and we would obviously like to try and achieve around the same but I am aware that they may be an anomaly. 1x m240 went for £400, the ares l200 went for £420. 1x m249 went for £200 and a non working one for £120. 1 scar gbb sold for £210. We sold an aug and mp5 for £190 the pair. A kJ m9 got bought for £75 and the sig 2022 was £85. One xm177 (not working) sold for £70 and have the same offer on another 2. Like I say these may be the oddities but without any real knowledge it would be good it this was the case" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDcase Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Note it will be cash only unless they can sort something out with A2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immortal Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I'm wondering what the prices will be like. On one hand he wants to shift the stuff quickly and on the other there's a shop whispering in his ear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasaran Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Well the classic army m249 is by quick google between £300 and £370 (combatsouth, why so expensive?) For the para version. A movie prop gun. By non lead character thats likely been dropped, thrown, bashed and blasted with sanf and dust (think black hawk down) is likely fairly prone for unreliability. id likely feel comfortable paying parhaps half of that. so £150 or there abouts for it, as i bet they need some major tlc to be reliable.

Yeah, there's a catch with the prop thing. It makes them of value to a collector but not all collectors have a defence to own it hence the airsoft sale as I think he'd normally have them goto a prop auction but the VCRA applies to these by default (which is good for us for once.... lol). The CA M16 variants from BHD are missing a motor and he priced them between £70-100 depending on condition. I suppose it depends on the item ultimately; new in box, used in a film, bust etc... soon find out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 The 'used in film' is bollox because there's no provenance. Even 'Hero' used is meaningless unless there's some definitive markings and a certified document confirming its use from the production company. No official documentation will come with the sales and a note by the seller will be as good as toilet paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The value is all in the head basically as far as it's origins and claims. I'm ok with that as I'm not looking for an investment as such, just something cool or a bargain if i'm lucky.

Duno what film it was in and don't care I was the unshaven bloke with a green body warmer over a black jacket and a big pile of guns to the right of the counter with a bag like what guns in movies are carried. Where you the guy I was chatting to whilst a fella wrapped my brothers gun? Or the fella interested in a Tom Cruise Scar? (digging a hole for myself if neither...lol) Sorry dude, didn't even occur to me that fellow forum members would be there! I'm so rude.

EDcase Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Nope, I was neither I was on the left side but didn't stay long.
