Considering selling my 1984 Sheridan Silver Streak.

[RunsOnAir]

Hello everyone.
I have a Sheridan silver streak from 1984 inherited from my wife's family (they had it since new in 1984).
A Previous post does show pictures before professional tune-up/rebuild and oiling of the stock here :

I will part with it, but am unsure what a fair trading price should be. What do you think?

I've observed E-Bay for a few months now, and seen (ridiculous) price tags all over the place, and some bidding wars that seemed more linked to egos than real value of the Sheridans.
I could try my luck there, but the sinking reputation of the platform for person to person transactions doesn't make it appealing at this point.

Please keep me in mind, I been wanting a Silver for a long time.
 That said, in all honesty, I would have a "conflict of interest" if I were to make you an estimate of it's value.
It does have dome dings in the wood, but it is drilled for a rear peep 5D-SH already.
  I would not be willing to pay the prices we are are now seeing on ebay.

I also find them ridiculous, and I'm on the selling side.

It was mentioned in the original post, but in case it was missed, unlike all the offers I've seen, this Sheridan was professionally overhauled by a Crosman repair service person in late 2020 and should be service free for 14 more years as per that person.

I think that this tread has run its course... nothing to see here.
Lets just say...
I have a Silver Streak inbound.

Wait!,  I didn’t get a chance to bid it up.

Actually, glad it worked out for both of you.

Now his search for the 342 continues.

As does mine....
The problem there is that need, means and opportunity must arrive at the exact same point... 

[Pellet Fun]

So glad you were able to be the winning bidder. Haha. I think everybody stayed out of this one just for you.

I will add that Ronan must be a standup guy. He deserves an ada boy since he didn’t go the bay route.

Hi Guys,
i did not want this to become a bidding war. I wanted to have an idea what a fair price would before placing an add in the classifieds.
i just happened to not be very patient and went the fast route.
Now, you can tease Scott/Hoosier Daddy, because he was very fast to shoo everyone away from the threads before higher offers than his could come my way

I ain't mad.. I'm happy with the 3 I own.

And to think I just gave my 342 away for free to a buddy who ended up moving and loosing contact with me.
I miss that gun and would like to own another,  but prices have gone crazy and at those prices I'm happy to do without one.

I'll take it, but I can't go over $825. 



It's a joke incase anyone forgot to put on their sence of humor today. 

[Hoosier Daddy]

Shoo.. Shoo... Shoo... Y'all
I honestly I believe I offered a fair price at today's selling rates... 2 years ago I would have walked away for that much... But I think Ronan and I are both happy.
