Price appraisal on a truly one off, unique Mini

[deaallen]

Hey all,

I'm wondering what my mini's worth.

Now I know how much standard mini's are worth (£100-£120, they should not be any more then this!!!) and I hate it when I see a mix of different colours schemes being advertised as 1 of 1 etc.

However my one has had a lot of work done to it, the problem is that my taste isn't necessarily what other people want, and I know I wont get back the money I spent on it, I just wan't to know how much I've wasted

So about this mini, upgrades are:

• Boss infamous bolt £35
• Ball raced trigger £25
• On/off Reg £70
• Empire Axe grips - don't remember
• Empire Axe Forgrip - don't remember
• Custom Ano £80
• Custom one off lasering £100
• Shockwave board £20
• Freak barrel with two different fronts (annoed to match) £50
• Empire Low profile feedneck £35
• New Designz spinner detents (thanks MeDiC ) £10

cost of the work done and upgrades is over £425 not including the base cost of the mini which was £120

Pics:

The condition is also Mint, as you'd expect.

Thanks for looking, Dean

Honestly, you'll maybe see £150-160 if someone is taken with it.

 

[MeDiC]

I'd keep it rather than see it go for any less than £200...

It's not my cup of tea, but it looks stunning and it's obviously had a lot of work (and cash no doubt) put into it.

Keep it and show it off at events and games, you'll gen an interest in it from someone.

What it's worth and what it will sell for are two different things though.

 

[MeDiC]

True enough, it could be worth a lot more than £160. But if some one will only pay that for it

Out of interest Dean, what operating pressure can it run at with the bolt and the freak barrel ?

(Your detents are New Designz spinners btw )

MeDiC - As it has the Infamous bolt in it, i'd put it down about the same as my Axe...
140-150psi
3.5ms dwell
1.5 turns out on the back cap from being all the way in
Shooting 275fps +/-3fps
Make sure you underbore it a tad with the Infamous bolt.

My Axe is down to 125-130

Exactly what WildWayz said lol, I do have my G-1 operating at 130 with the same reg though

Yeah I understand what everyones saying, what its worth to me isn't necessarily what someone else is willing to pay. I'll keep hold of it and maybe one day use it in a trade.

This is always my problem, once I get a marker I can't leave it stock, I have to tinker with it or make it different

Thanks for everyones help

If it's any consolation, that's probably the nicest looking Mini I've seen - very clean.
