Jay Baker Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Asking opinions on this trade. 80% finish on mismatched BNZ44 code, a shooter, which is what I want. Have a Wilson Tube but have a buyer on the hook. I won't sell the Wilson till I have an original incoming. Nevermind the accessories, does this look like an even swap or should one of us expect some boot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Baker Posted February 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Just one opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNKen Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 If the MP-40 is a C&R gun, even though mismatched, and the WH is valued at $10 to 12k, probably an OK trade, not great, and you might be a little behind afterwards. Here is a C&R that sold on Bowers for $10k. http://www.subguns.com/classifieds/index.c...query=retrieval My opinion only. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philasteen Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 At current prices you could get a matching MP40 for a WH gun. JMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Baker Posted February 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 I was of the opinion that the WH was worth a little more(who'd 'f thought), say $1500 or so. I won't trade it without getting extra cash. A couple of guys locally, one a dealer and another a poster here, both said I should keep the Thompson. With opinions running 4-0 against a trade, and my not being really hot for the MP40 with a Wilson already in the safe, I'll probably end up holding onto what I got----unless the other guy makes me a really good offer. With that being said, if anyone has a interesting offer of C&R emmagees, I would consider it. By the way, someone did offer to trade a T-16 for the Wilson, but I didn't think a WWII tracked vehicle would appreciate at the same rate. Thanks for the opines.

Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 The $12K figure seems dead on as to the outer limits value for a WH. There are numerous examples for sale on the many boards priced at $15K, or $14K, or $13K and they are still languishing without any takers after many months. But the C&R non-tube MP-40 will probably eventually shoot past that figure quicker than a WH will ever see that kind of coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
