I stopped by on Saturday. There was someone selling a Ruger 10/22 replica air gun for $450. It was new in box however.
There were a few used air guns but were they were selling for more than new.
I didn't buy a thing. Prices just seem insane.

It is not uncommon to see ludicrous prices being placed on used items. Just have a look on FB Marketplace. Sometimes it's a joke but sometimes not. In any event, the seller is generally under the impression that their piece of junk is a treasure. For the Ruger, $50 may have got him a sale - maybe not. NEXT.

It was the umarex version. The week before he was at the Lombardy gun show The were 2 with a price of $450.
I thought that's still way over priced for 2. He had one left at the Perth show selling for $450. They were $450 each!
I just ordered one from Al Flaherty"s for $88.99. It's the kit. Should be fun as a back yard plinker.

Yeah~ my wife got home a owl decoration piece from Value Village for 4.99 something a few days ago... And I put it on the front yard...

And later, my wife showed me the below finding from eBay... And I said, quick, bring that piece back home, don't just throw it on the grass outside... [emoji38]

I couldn't tell the difference between ours and this one on the picture... :) I should check carefully again on the piece to see if I found Any signatures etc on it....

Wow! That's exactly where I got mine from recently. Can't believe they were trying to charge that much. I ended up ordering 3 extra cartridges from pyramid [emoji17]. Unfortunately they are unable to be found in Canada. Decently accurate too, you'll enjoy it [emoji1360]. Tedious part is filling the rotors with pellets.

Yep you never know what you'll find at thrift stores. It's a true saying one man's junk is another man's treasure [emoji12]. I thought you used it as a target until o scrolled down lol.

[emoji38] never think about shooting those things especially after my wife showed me it might worth for 50 bucks~
