Title: worth trading ? Barnett Spitfire for a "steroid" Blue Streak
Post by: ujmrider on October 31, 2013, 01:31:59 PM
I have a .177 Barnett Spitfire in VGC that was part of a collection. I don't really want to use it but need something to shoot.  Is it worth trading for a Benjamin or Sheridan that has been power tuned  by Mac 1 ?

Its worth MORE in my opinion ....
Picked up a like new Spitfire this summer for $200 and figured it a great price !!

pending WHAT MODEL those other rifles are, shape and such may be useful to get some valid feedback from GTA members.

a steroided Mac1 dan is worth more than a spitfire barnett. they are also a lot more practical. but to each its own.

Had a Spitfire, same as the Webley Tracker.  I would say that a trade for a Steroid would be a good one.  The Spitfire is better in .22, BTW. If the Steroid is in good shape, go for it.

I agree with Redfeather, to my mind that's a pretty even trade.   The guns are rather different in nature though, might be difficult to find someone seeking such a transaction.

If you would be interested in making such a trade via the intermediate medium of good old-fashioned cash, I might be interested in the Spitfire.
