Rabid 1,936 Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 I need to value a gun, a friend has asked me to advertise his daystsate as now he has fac it gets no use whatsoever, but I have seen such a variation in prices on these lately, what's the general opinion ? This is NOT a sales thread, but once I have a value it will be going in the classifieds as per forum rules. Quote Link to post

Rabid 1,936 Posted December 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Sorry lads, tired. Its a daystsate airwolf, not sure if it's an Mct or mvt (not opened the case as yet). It's .177, carbon wrapped I believe, no idea of age, will check the serial numbers. It's electronic, comes with a charger and key, 1 mag, fill fitting, daystsate hard case, and instruction booklet. He tells me it works perfect with no faults, at least it did when he last shot it a year ago ! My mate is coming over tomorrow for a shoot, and been a mega daystsate fan he will have a look and give me the lowdown, we will no doubt shoot it and see what it does. Should I chrono it for the sales thread or not bother. Quote Link to post
si brown 8,486 Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 depending on how good the wrap is will affect the price, a lot of lads who own these never take them out in the field and when they sell on are in pristine condition! mine looked like new and i let it go for £800 for a quick sale on its own, no scope just box mag and fill probe! atb si 1 Quote Link to post

So I will guarantee it has never been out in the rain, or cold, or wind......get the idea yet ? It was shot a bit in his yard, no idea how much, but knowing him not a great deal as he goes through phases, then gets bored and tries something else. The wrap looks in fairly good condition, not mint, I have found a few tiny marks, but overall I would say it's good. Quote Link to post
si brown 8,486 Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 yeah mine was the mtc too...there should be some paper work with what ft.lbd it was putting out when tested witch will be dated! might be worth taking the wrap off if its not tip top cos its the wood work that generally sells these rifles. 1 Quote Link to post
Rabid 1,936 Posted December 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Your the 2nd person to suggest removing the wrap ! I ain't touching it, knowing my luck it will be some dog rough stock and I will have to pay to get it wrapped again. No paperwork with it other than the instruction booklet 1 Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Could be looking at a new battery, they like to keep topped up every couple or three weeks. Failure to do so - equals knackered battery, which is a good £50 to replace! 1 Quote Link to post

It switches on, but that's all I know. Quote Link to post
Rabid 1,936 Posted December 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 So, gimme a rough idea on value, I think he would like £700-£750. Is this realistic ? Quote Link to post
si brown 8,486 Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 easily... don't budge on it regards the battery if it turns on it works Quote Link to post
