I found one without sights on gunsamerica for $350 so the price is comparable. The seller likely is basing his price off of what he found online, but you can offer less, $350 isn’t making people jump on it, so maybe too high.

Someone was selling a nice one at Baldwinsville for $200 or $250 two years ago.

These are very cool guns. I got mine in mint for $150 several years ago at Findlay.  I thought it was about half price so jumped on it.  Very accurate rifles and so unique.  In mint I think most go for $300 not a easy find?

I bought it.  It is a .177 and is in excellent condition.  Very accurate.

someone should offer $300

Yeah. I kept looking at it. Were it .22 I couldn't have resisted. There was a nice Beeman Bearcub there this year.

Joe, you obviously need to buy that gun.

Yep, I bought the Bear cub this year. It goes with the C-1 i bought earlier. Have to check, I think the C-1 was .22 but can't remember now.

NO-I have another bid riding and I bought the LG55 on impulse

The 3rd pic of the C1 looks a little sketchy, like some of the metal might have been painted black. It might also be grease- not good pics.

[joek]

your right the metal finish doesn't look up to Webley standards

Good eye that does look strange?  Should be a mirror surface?

[45flint]

Bet it’s grease, hard to believe it needed painting with a stock that nice?

I just bought one off ebay myself.
 Remains to be seen in person, pics looked decent. $160

Cool, good price. Just bought a rifle myself and am waiting to see if it’s as good as the pics.  All part of the hobby, the impatient waiting!   Lol

Steve.... There is a worn spot in the carpet here where I pace.

Looks nice! I just got UPS notice mine comes tomorrow.  That was quick but he’s only 3 hours away I could driven there. Lol.  See if dreams = reality?

The C-1 is one of my bucket-list airguns, along with a Crosman 600 and a Mark 1.

I picked up a used Mark 1 for $40- just needs some seals, and 600s shows up often neough.  But the C-1 is always available when I don't have funds.

C-1 is just so unique, well made and very accurate.

I've been wanting one since I saw it in the Beeman catalog.  I recall the original announcement touting it as a compact gun intended for sporting
