What's a decent price for a used .177 CFX?
« on: October 09, 2009, 03:38:12 AM »
2005 vintage only used this summer with light handling marks on stock.  Thanks in advance!


PS - Sure wish the fellow who bought by Kral CFX clone would hurry up and get tired of it (hint, hint!)  :D

Hello Red !



My Blue Book, Seventh Edition has them listed as :



100% = $250.00, 95$ =$175.00, 90% = $140.00, 80% = $105.00, 60% = $75.00, etc.



I hope this helps.

Thanks, Bill.   That Blue Book needs some updating, though.  PA has them new for $200, not including the usual 10% off.  I've found the air guns version of Blue Book to be a little less accurate than the firearms version, although that one varies greatly depending upon where you live.  (As a dealer once told me, handguns do well near the city while rifles bring better prices up in the mountains.)

Call this one maybe 90% with a Simmons 4X32 tossed into the bargain.

That's the latest Edition currently out, and the best that I can do. :)



I have found that the value of anything goes up directly, by how badly you want it !



I would rather have a HW-50S, than a R-1 right now, so the HW-50S will be worth far more to me than the R-1. Tomorrow however, who knows what will be on my short list ??? :)



Then it may be too late :(

Well, sometimes the BB can be pretty far off.  I've seen it say some guns are worth big bucks, but try to actually sell one for that.  OTOH, they will list another at $50 when the going rate is three times that.  It all depends upon who is telling them.  I always felt the BB's were a two-edged sword.  Good for looking up a gun and getting an idea of value, but bad because now most of the pawn shops have copies.
