New Pro-Elite owner

Good morning guys, there's a bit of a story behind this one so bare with me.
About six months ago a guy on another forum posted a "what's it worth" thread for his pro-elite, .22 in very good condition, he didn't get much interest so I PM'd him to initiate a sale, unfortunately there was too much month at the end of the money, so couldn't buy. However comma, a close friend could, so I passed the sale onto him, he covets his guns so the pro-elite sat in his wardrobe for the last six months more or less unused. He has recently had to move house so needs any spare cash he can get hold of, so he emailed me offering to sell the pro-elite, which I jumped at as I love the look of them. But, since paying for it (it will arrive early next week) I am having second thoughts, I already have a heavily tuned HW80 as well as an AirTech Daystate Regal, so not sure I need or want another rifle as I only really hunt with the Regal anyway, the 80 only comes out occasionally.
So, I may be moving it on, what sort of price should I ask?

I would say a walnut stocked 22 would be £400 in good condition.

Excellent, or could I trade for a TX200HC? Always wanted one of those?

The problem at the minute is who would pay it. Scotland are giving up some cracking guns at the minute.
They were intended to be fac and don't shoot that great at sub 12.
As you have said it's better to get a tx200 that's good all day long.

The elite is in the collectors market.

yeah, I have heard they're not great under 12 ft lb, I bought it because they are becoming rarer and I have always liked the look. If I keep it then I'll look at putting a tune kit in it and try and make it as smooth and recoiless as possible, a TBT short stroke extension really transformed by HW80 so I'm hoping something similar will do the same to the pro-elite. I'll gauge interest when I get my hands on it, I may use the pro-elite and the HW80 to trade in for something I really want, like a .20 Rapid

If you ever fancy parting with the Pro-Elite let me know. I'm sure you would be better off than trading it in.
