Cheap Sheridan on Gunbroker.

[JDR]

Said gun was not in good condition but pictures look Ok to me. Seems the seller does not know much about this air gun. Current bid was $100 and less than 24 hours to go to end of bidding. Did not say if it held air. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/983229132

If I did not have the two I own already, I would have been a bidder on this one. There is nothing in the description that says stay away as all described issues can be addressed or minimized.

Does anyone have info on when they stopped engraving these rifles with the 'Blue Streak' name? My Sheridan looks identical (minus the rust) to this one, but I'm almost certain that it does not have the 'Blue Streak' name on the side. Mine dates from 1983, according to SN production dates I've found online. Any other informed info on this eBay rifle is also much appreciated - TIA

This has good info on the changes made over the years. It's one of the more comprehensive sites I've found.

It won't be cheap now!

Probably, I just hate to see such a legend disrespected. Generally on Gunbroker. in last hour of bidding the price of guns jump. Myself, I would wait till 20 minutes before putting in a bid. I have found rare collectables on Gunbroker on penny auctions ussually by pawn shops.

My biggest fear when bidding on auctions is someone on forums that isn’t even bidding will shoot off their mouth and queer the deal.

Who says I am not bidding?

IIRC, when a bid is entered during the last 15 minutes of a Gunbroker auction, doesn't the auction continue until 15 minutes of bidless-time has elapsed?

In some auctions, the eternal question: are you really bidding against a legitimate bidder ? ? ?

 

[JDR]

Yes, bids entered within the 15 minutes left in a bid extends the bid another 15 minutes. I was bidding on a gun a while back, one bidder would continually bid a few dollars over my bid when time the bid ending time was within 15 minutes. Did it for 4 hours. Bidders do have to register and are rated. Often sellers don't sell to bidders who have not been rated yet. Some sellers have complained of non responsive bidders. Both in selling and buying, I have had good experiences. For a seller, you have to send in 2 ids with one being a drivers license or official id. I normally do not buy from sellers that don't offer a credit card to pay except one time. Most buyers seem like they have not had problems. However if a problem, Gunbroker does nothing to help.

That wouldn't be very smart, would it?

Along with a couple of insults, the gun went for $130.

Well, I'm glad you got it anyway

A seal kit and some TLC and it will be a great rifle

Somebody else bought it. I already have a Sheridan. Just hoping somebody on this forum would get it or the seller (who seemed to not know the value of the gun and described it in bad shape when it was not) would get a fair deal. Those were my two objectives.,

 

[KWK]

I, for one appreciate your intention. But if you come across any guns I'm interested in please just PM me and then mum's the word! Not necessary to invite the whole world to the party IMO. FWIW I'm looking for any Webley Tomahawk, Longbow, Stingray, Xocet. Could use another HW50 177, older HW77k 177, And a few others IF the price and condition is right.
I had a Sheridan rocker and moved it on. I didn't really like the build. The barrels are good enough. Bless you, and all the other members. Seriously.

 

[JDR]

No, will just do like I did before (won't play favorites) but with a thicker skin. However, I do have a better understanding of others' biggest fear. For me, my biggest fear is Zombies and Martians except when in the woods alone at night deer hunting, it is Bigfoot. Just joking.
