Going to be selling my gear soon, question about air bottle

[Daston]

Hi guys,

The time has come for me to move on, I just don't seem to be shooting paint as much as I once did and I have other rather expensive hobbies that I seem to be doing more often.

One thing has me stumped is my Guerrilla Air bottle. It is a .8L 4500psi carbon tank which has been used for 1 walk on and 1 big game. The retest date is 2016 but the born date is 2011. I am not sure how much this will impact on sale price.

I was thinking of putting it up for £100 including postage and jacket. Do you guys think this is a reasonable asking price?

Cheers

Dave

It's 3 years in to 15 years of life, so still worth a good sale
Second hand value is what someone is willing to pay
My general depricitiation formula for cylinders is:
Purchase price + 2 test fees / 15 * remaining life - remaining tests

Average fees at £25 and it's £200 / 15 (= £13.33 per year)
£13.33 * 12 (= £160)
£160 - £50 = £110

This is just over your £100 estimate
However the most common sale price for cylinders is £80
If no one is keen for it then the sale probably won't happen until its £80, but ask for your higher price and someone after that bottle etc would be happy to pay more

Peanut tanks are almost like gold dust on here so you should be able to get around that price

That's good news. I did like the little tank was really good for the few speed ball games i played.

Thanks for the help guys

Just out of interest - how do you plan to send the bottle to the buyer?

My Hermes don't seem to have a problem with them.
