Time to part with my Phantoms but have no idea what’s a fair price

[zim]

I’m a magfed player that bought these new to haul to Fulda Gap, but got injured before I got to use them and it’s not looking like I’m going to make it back onto the field. They’ve been sitting up for about 3 years and the cup seals are shot, but I have new ones. Also, have a spare 12g kit and a few misc. parts. Neither have been dropped or dinged. The Duck Slide is pretty much just that. I have a spare barrel for it that’s freak bored, but one of the 10 inserts I have for it is stuck. The ‘rifle’ is also freak bored and has an ICD 12g quick change T-stock and the upgraded pump handle.

I’d like to pass them along to a good home and I’m not looking to squeeze every dime out of them, but I don’t want to give them away, either. I would appreciate your thoughts on what they’re worth as an a package or as separate parts. I want to give someone a good deal but not cry a month later when i found out i took half of what they were worth.

(PS, not sure what happened to my original account. I have tons of email from the forum, but the address is no longer recognized here.)

You should pull the lever changer and make the top one VASA - should get $425 - $450

you can sell the lever changer for $100 - $125

and then your duckslide phantom is probably closer to $600 ? I haven’t seen one in a while, so I may be off base on that one

I know this isn’t a sale thread….but I will shamelessly call dibs on that duckslide phantom when you’re ready to sell 😂

Nice to see so many old members stumbling back as of late. Phantoms are not my forte, so I cant help with values on those, but it seems you have some super desirable parts, so I expect some good appraisal numbers from the guys.. i also suspect some frantic PMs from people who want your goodies. Lol.

I dig both set ups. Ill give my uneducated guess.. Id say 350 for the rifle, and 500 for the duckslide? Again. I know nothing of them, but I assume the duck bits add a lot of value..

The forum got hacked, and held hostage a while back it was rebuilt from the ground up after that, so all old accounts are now dead. Many people are just coming back to find out recently.

Hope you enjoy the new MCB.

I'd be interested in the lever changer stock if you want to part it out.

[AnarchicArctic]

JeepDVLZ45 is pretty spot on to what I’d say.

[zim]

I'd be interested in the lever changer stock if you want to part it out.

I can’t reply for 10 days, I’m told, but if you want to shoot me an email address in an IM, I have a second one on a Hammer 7.

[Loophole]

I sold a duckslide in the same exact setup for $650 and it sold in less than two days. I would say that = a fair price. Mine did also have a CCM 86 which could jump the price.. but yours has a freak bored barrel and is in way better shape than mine... so I reckon $650 would still be fair!

Part the lever as stated above for $150 with the stock

Top make it VSC for $350-400

Edit: Also i am not interested an any of these beautiful beasts, just giving you fair prices.

[Chuck E Ducky]

I would take the other lever changer if you want to sell it.

zim Did you have this posted on Reddit, 2 days ago, for $900?

zim Did you have this posted on Reddit, 2 days ago, for $900?

I did, but not getting any real reaction on it, i figured i was off base with the price and should ask in better place than reddit. I wasn’t sure how many redditors even knew what a duckslide was so I deleted the post there.

[Carp]

Just checking.. When new accounts appear with multiple sought after parts, Duckslide and 2 ICD lever changers. It always makes my eyebrow raise. My Google image search of that picture lead me to, a now semi-deleted sale thread, directing you here to MCB. I could see you were offered a trade and then the OP was deleted. That just seemed odd and a little suspect to me. What was your old MCB user name? I can possibly locate your old feedback thread to help put my mind at ease.

[zim]

Carp I believe it was ‘zim’ then, too. The email is the same. I can understand the hesitancy, too. It was the trade offer on Reddit prompted me to repost here. I had mentioned that I was unable to play anymore, so the offer of a trade told me people weren’t seriously reading the post there. Another suggested MCB and I was like ‘duh’. It was here where I discovered the DuckSlide and lever changers even existed. I was also on the CCM list here and both bought and sold an SSR here or at least set up the sale via eBay with a member here.

I killed the post on Reddit and made a change to a better venue.. here. I thought it might be wise to ask what they were worth in the What’s it Worth before posting in the sale board with a reasonable price. I should have known it would happen, but did not encourage anyone to make me an offer here. I’m sure the rarity of the DuckSlide was going to do that either way. I had no idea the lever changers were still a rarity. I remember waiting a bit for both mine, now, come to think of it.

Anyway, I got lazy with the pic because.. well, i already had one. Here’s one you won’t find on google until this forum gets crawled. I’ve got a lot of gear I would like to part with and I am anxious to restore my name here. Just let me know how.

Thanks!
Mark

Once you start building feedback again, it’ll build up your name again.

To Carp ‘s point, we had a nasty rash of scammers the past few months. All claiming to have “just what you’re looking for” or rare, higher end markers with pics pulled of Reddit or Facebook/eBay etc. We became pretty cautious because of it.

Just hang with us…

I’m happy to leave you some feedback when it comes time. Just start a feedback thread here:

[Mr. Hick]

That's about the best way to prove the point. damn fine looking gear right there.

[Chuck E Ducky]

That I’ll do. Just been a bunch of people/bots lately looking to scam so people are a bit hesitant when dealing with new members. We all try and lookout for each other. Nobody is going to buy stuff outside a PayPal purchase with purchase protection so they are really spinning their wheels but that don’t stop them from trying.

Welcome back to MCB

[Carp]

zim thank you for indulging my curiosities...👍 I searched for a while, for your old member profile and feedback, on the wayback machine. Unfortunately, the closest user name I could dig up was a zImsKee from Canada. Heck, I still haven't been able to locate my old feedback yet either.... At this point, after posting that other pic, the only other thing you could do is...... Bring us a Shrubbery! 😁

[zim]

I’m still having a hard time replying to some of the IMs, not sure if it’s my account too young or theirs, but for all intents and purposes, this is pretty much closed. The duckslide and the two ICD lever changers have sold and I’ll be putting up an actual sale post for the remaining gear now that a few folks can vouch for me. Thanks again for the info and for taking the time to vet me. My only other option for some of this stuff is giving it to some zit faced newbie that will just bitch about having to pump. That would just somehow feel wrong.

Ciao,
