Wilcox RAPTAR Value?

[LRShooter101]

I am not having any luck with my Google skills finding an answer for this one. I am guessing that is probably because it is a fairly uncommon occurrence for these to come up for sale, and because there is just not a lot out of them out there. I am trying to find what an "average" or "realistic" price would be for a used Wilcox RAPTAR, and I was hoping that I could some feedback from everyone. This would be the civilian legal model. It would NOT be a "S" model with the onboard ballistics. It would be in good condition with no damage or significant wear & tear. Thanks in advance!
*EDIT, this is NOT an attempt to sale one here in this topic!

The problem is dude, now everybody knows you got one and can PM you with offers

So it kind of doesn’t matter what your intentions are because the effect is the the same, and your intentions are known only to you

So if I were you, I’d get a membership list the thing for your highest price, then come back here and ask this question

I have a membership, so I could post it in the PX for sale. Without trying to get an idea of what one is currently worth, I have no idea of where to even start with a listing price, nor what kind of an offer I should consider accepting? I am only finding current prices on the newer "S" and "Xe" models. In the past I had seen prices on the standard model anywhere from $4k-$7k, that is a big range, and I have no idea where those prices are at today?

The older RAPTARs seem to be going from $3-5k these days, but with so many S models available for maybe 30% more, not a lot of people are biting. On top of that, newer generation WMLRFs are making those old guys a hard sell.

So a RAPTAR ES or a RAPTAR LITE ES? If the former maybe 3K and the Lite ES even less to move it

The real deal FP units with the ballistics solver move pretty steadily 7.5-9K but the happy spot is in the middle as comparison

Do a search in the Sold section of the PX. It will tell you what others have sold for.

Tried that https://duckduckgo.com/?t=h_&q=site:www.snipershide.com+raptar&ia=web

Going through many pages, I can only find 2 examples of the standard model, one from 2023 and one from 2022. Once again, they don't come up for sale anywhere very often.

It is the ES (LRF and IR), NOT the LITE. Thanks!

I would be hard-pressed to believe you could get more than $3,500. My FP Raptar without ballistics would bring $4,000-$5K.

The Raptar S with AB is routinely getting $7-$8K.

I’ve had my Raptar listed for months inside the values people are stating here with very few nibbles. Either they are wrong or these are selling in the 7-9k range somewhere else.

I actually thought I got a good deal on an older unlocked RAPTAR ES , but it turned out only the vis laser would go to 7 and the IR was still limited to 3. So I guess along with my PVS-21s that just makes me a modern militaria collector

It may be that we are truly wrong.

It is a specialized piece of hardware. It is also an EXPENSIVE piece of hardware which reduces the number of people interested. Is yours an FP unit with AB?

 

[Conqueror]

Eye safe but with AB and in essentially new condition.
