No, no, no, vash - it's brand new. I bought it from Pyramid Air. That's what's cool about it - in continuous production for over 50 years, and still made in Germany. Still made to a standard that is unfortunately too often forgotten in this day and age.
You can still buy brand new R1's for about $600. An ugly used one would be lucky to fetch $100. A really nice used one, $200-$250, tops. Even "classic", out of production air guns are really not worth much, unless it's something really rare. They are certainly not rare, nor out of production. Pyramid Air has used ones, refurbed to original factory specs, for about $500. She's nuts...
I sure wish RWS made rifles in .20 caliber (5mm). You can get the same weight pellets as .22 caliber, but they have significantly higher ballistic coefficients. Everything helps when dealing with only 15-20 foot pounds of energy. I think Beeman is onto a good think offering that caliber, which was formerly only found in Sheridan pneumatics.
