Yard Sale Treasures.

Baltim0re28 · May 14, 2013, 05:36:10 PM

After recently finding a beautiful Crosman SSP250 at a yard sale/flea market last week, it got me to wondering what all Crosman related items have YOU found at yard sales/ flea markets. I thought this would be a fun thread to start to see our treasures, that was someone else's junk. Here is mine from last week.

$15 is all I paid.

Posted this separately just the other day BUT since its being started as a long term thread, I thought I'd put my entry back in the mix. I snagged this relatively new 760 PumpMaster at a local garage sale for $7. Came with a Gamo 4x20 scope and ~1200 CopperHead BBs

Rusting away as it was sitting there. It needed some serious Love & Attention.

After a total disassembly and rehab, she looks great and shoots great too! (pellets yes

, BBs not so great

).

Not quite as good a find as the first listing, but for $7, not bad. Plus the BBs and the scope were part of the deal. I'm happy. Flex

Was up in western PA last weekend, and spent part of an afternoon checking all the antique shops for airguns. Nothing

Some treasures have been found around here in doing that and got me on a mission to find something. Anything at this point lol

One of the ladies in one had a good point - "we don't see many of those often... you guys don't like to give up your toys"

I'm heading out tomorrow to see what I can find. Hopefully I have something to post in here when I get home.

I got my powermaster 66 at a yard sale for $5, but it was in rough shape... I've fixed it up now and it shoots like new...

You all keep looking! Why, because older is better!

The new Crosman stuff, IMO, is DUCK POOP!!!!!!

that ssp250 was a great find
have you seen the price tag on them lately?
be gentle with that loading gate they are fragile. a new one will cost you more that you paid for the gun in just shipping and handling charges not to mention the inflated price of the gate

I haven't seen what they are going for lately. I think I'm gonna go price a few to see what they are selling for. It looked like crap before I cleaned it up. Hopefully I never break anything on it so I don't have to go through the trouble of finding parts..

I've no idea what the SSP-250 goes for in the US, but there was one sold recently on the CAF. Hard to come by up here.

I hit two more yard sales this weekend and still not one single airgun to be had. I found a sad-looking PA397 in a pawn shop for $69 but I passed on it.
Cheers,

Wow, $135... Thanks for the link Gippeto. Guess I did get a steal with that one.. Jerry, I've had no luck since then myself. I've been out every weekend and haven't seen anything.

Nice finds!
I wish I have found crosman stuff at yard sales. Maybe this year
