Daisy 2x Minty 777s

it was a great deal see that they sell for far more than that

"Minty"

Is that some sort of play on words ?
If it means that the subject is in very good condition...I've always understood the word to be..."mint". Not candy like good !?

Everyone on AGN when minty is mentioned:

I recently picked up a 717 and I’ve been impressed with it. I’d like to get a 747 or 777 and see how the Walther barrels are compared to the 717.

That is minty and SWEET!

You’re on a 10m pistol streak! First the IZH 46. Now the 777. What’s next the FWB 65? I highly recommend a Diana 6g if you don’t already have one.

I enjoy the 7 series pistols

They look like fun. Be Well, dito.

Two nights ago I was cruising Ebay, lo and behold, some guy was selling a pair of 777s in the original boxes and pretty minty conditions for 600.00 buy now for the pair. I contacted my pen pal air gun buddy 1000 miles south of me and said, "are you going to hit buy now or am I?" He told me to go ahead. So in a couple of days I will have a nice 777 to go with my NTM CMP 853. As my buddy will as well. As a 70 yr old I am kind of excited as I gifted my 717 recently due to the acquisition of a nearly NIB 46M. But after reading about Daisy 717,747 and 777 I have been on a casual hunt. I was shocked to see the pair for 600.00.

Wow, congrats! Good thing you spotted those before I did! Ive been casually looking for a 7xx in good shape for a few weeks now.

I owned a 747 decades ago but foolishly gave it to a nephew who later traded it for a skateboard (SMH).

Traded for a skateboard...that's sad, I hate those things.

graycrait That's a great deal. I always miss out on the good "buy now" deals.

There's a pretty nice 747 on ebay starting at $89. with 3 days to go and a new 777 for $475. That's too much but somebody wanted $599. for one a couple weeks ago.

I got the 747 back in the 80's after my boss brought his 777 to work. The accuracy is amazing. I always liked it a lot even if they're nose heavy. I sold it about 15 yrs ago but finally replaced it with a couple 777's a few years ago. After a rebuild and replacing a couple parts that were scratched, I have a pair but don't shoot much since I moved back to OH.

I'm thinking about selling one if anybody's interested.

@dfemmert , what kind of grip is on the pistol to the right?

A guy on ebay was making them a few years ago. I think it was around $65. I thought about sanding down the raised ridges, especially the thumb shelf. I think they stick out too much.
There's a wooden grip on ebay now but I think it was $190. It's more of a target grip with the flat base,

This is crazy ! I had to save a copy of this. I think it's crazy how much some people want to sell one of these for, even if it's new.

People don't respond to well to a buy now with a high price but when you sell something nice and let people decide the price it seems to have a better outcome.
37 people bid on a new ones like graycrait got for $300. ea.
