Checking to see what the market is like on these currently. Been out of the game for a while. Both shot great last time I used them 5 o 6 years ago at SPE.

I think I have a slightly skewed view on these beauties, because I've gotten mine for fairly cheap considering how well they shoot.
I have A 13" viper much like yours, but its CA only. I bought it from a local OG baller for $250. It came with the stipulation that I need to sell it to a Damage Inc player if I ever sell. I personally think it shoots like its worth more than I paid.
I have a 9.5" viper I bought from Gumbster on the forums. It has the same co2 drop out yours has. I think I lowballed him a bit for $350-370. That one doesnt really hit velocity, and I've been too preoccupied to mess with it. I believe the sear drags on the hammer to much.
I also have a project viper rifle body I got from loophole. I really need to work on that. It needs solder work and many parts to be an operating shooter. I think I paid 300 for it?
The intimitators are modified sheridans rather than scratch built, but I believe those are more obscure in the realm of manufactured numbers.
All that being said, after owning and shooting both palmers, Mac 1s, and rtp guns. I personally RTPs should be worth more than pps guns.
So asking $450 for the viper would be fair. You may not get a bite til $350 though.
I think the rifle should go for $550-$600 obo. And maybe you are going to get offered less.
I think if the market was better you could squeeze more out of them, but these seem to fall in the soft brass market even though they are far superior. They shoot like a $500, and $700 marker respectively.
I wish I wasnt strapped to nothing on my current projects. Id happily buy another viper.
Glws man they are beauties. Please, if you havent already, share them in the RTP picture thread as there isn't much in there.Comment

I purchased a RTP Viper similar to yours along with a One Armed Bandit from chplnstone for $350 a few months ago. Definitely a light pump stroke compared to Palmers and Sheridans.
Very interested in purchasing both if you decide to sell.My CollectionComment
