Man, he just ruined whatever collector value that thing had with all that bubba.

My grandkids got me a Daisy BB gun for Christmas this year. I have to say it is just as much fun to shoot now as when I was 6! DR

That's some nice work!

That's some nice work!

Agreed
But it's still lipstick on a pig.

Nope. A 40 dollar gun did not lose value. it gained value from this nice work.

Collector value is relative to what?

I have probably a much older King air rifle. Yep, collectible, but still not worth much. If I wanted to polish it up, because I could, it'd be worth more to me than the little bit I could sell it for.

Nice work. Not sure that Daisy was worth the effort.

Man! You guys are harsh!

When I was a teenager, I refinished my J.C. Higgins .22 rifle.

In roughly 1962, my Dad bought it for me, and paid 5-bucks. Even today, it's not worth much, but it sure is gorgeous to me.

I'm glad nobody told me way back then what a piece of crap I had and I further lessened the value.

I'm sure he completely blew an opportunity to create generational wealth by ruining such a iconic symbol of Americana. Lol.
