CA M134-A2 and M1919A6 appraisal

[CosmicHorrorPrincess]

Hii, I'm moving house & having a clear-out! I'm unsure what price to put on these two replicas.

One is a Classic Army M134-A2 (the 'new version' vulcan / minigun) it was skirmished once and has a dual tank regulator, tank, & the included toolkit but needs a battery for rotating the barrels (stock tamiya connector)
The other is an M1919A6 from Dave's Custom Airsoft. The A6 parts are the stock, carry handle, flash hider, & bipod. The gearbox is also fully upgraded & it's wired to deans, but I don't have a parts list & the page isn't on Dave's website anymore
I've attached a few photos of each.

They're both so bulky I was going to list them each as collection only from the Surrey/Hampshire area. What's a reasonable price I should list them as?

Thank youu!

The Classic Army will run you about 3k new, but is hard to get hold of. So 2.5K is not unreasonable asking price. The issue is finding some one with that sort of money to dump on an airsoft gun. If you have 2.5k to buy a second hand gun you probably have the 3k to buy new.

That's fair, maybe I should just list it as 1k? I can't take it with me where I'm moving & hopefully someone could make use of it

Well after posting that you are a bit stuffed now. I would have stuck up at 2.5k, then have had minimum amount in your mind you'd take so you had negotiation room. you stick it up for a 1k you still getting people offering you £800.00.

That's generous... More like they offer £300 and then they ask for it to be delivered the same day half way across the country

I assume the m1916 is the EMG and it's just been converted by DCA? If so, and the parts are legit A6 parts then I'd say it's around the £1.2k mark, if it's reproduction A6 parts then still maybe £800?
The issue is, they're a lot of money - It's not your average £100 M4 that a large percentage of people can afford and want. They're both quite niche so would need to find the right buyer that's been looking for specifically that model and/or something similar... That being said @ButcherBill I bet you don't have either of those in your collection

 

[CosmicHorrorPrincess]

Yes, the M1919 is converted by DCA with real M1919A6 parts. I'm not fussed about getting a lot of money for them, it's more time sensitive before I move as I can't take them with me, so I'll likely price them a bit low for a quick sale

Evening all, im just going to say, anyone who is considering adding these to your collection, please do your due diligence to the authenticity of these items, & if a sale is agreed, either pay on collection or via PayPal goods & services, NOTHING ELSE.

@CosmicHorrorPrincess , I mean absolutely no offence to you, but you're a new member & are offering very desirable bits of kit at potentially bargain prices, due to your changing circumstances.
Unfortunately we have had MANY new members join, wanting valuations on what appears to be nice bits of kit, often with unexpected reasons why they have to be sold quickly, we've even had supposed bereaved wives & mum's needing to shift their loved ones stuff.
& if my memory serves me, none of them went on to sell stuff, most, if not all made a rapid exit when asked to prove the kit was in their possession, so im sure you'll understand why im asking all interested parties to proceed with caution, literally every day im banning numerous false accounts, whose only intention is to defraud the members here.

Should I include a test firing video in the listings as well? They're awkward & bulky to ship so I was going to do cash on collection.

That sounds great too, like I said, i wasn't looking to cause offence, & tbh you'd already covered our rule 5 in your pics, which again is great, I just didnt want members to get so excited at the prospect of potentially owning almost legendary airsoft gats, that they forget the basics of safe deals, but collection sounds like the best option given the size & weight if what you're selling.
Thanks for replying.
