Wegalaxy Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 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 nighthawkkhan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavinkempsell Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 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.

DanBow Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 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. gavinkempsell and Rogerborg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wegalaxy Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 Thanks I appreciate the feed back I have adjusted some of the info. gavinkempsell and DanBow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 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 nighthawkkhan and Rogerborg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wegalaxy Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 I have dropped the price to £150 posted. Is this reasonable? Thanks nighthawkkhan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... nighthawkkhan and Rogerborg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asomodai Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I would say less than £100 with the issues. Valkens pretty much a nothing brand when it comes to AEGs. Tackle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wegalaxy Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 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. gavinkempsell, DanBow and Galvatron 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavinkempsell Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 As long as you're both happy then that's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
