...35 years ago and then offered to me for sale
Man tries to sell TV prop 35 years after nicking it from expo | The Sun |News
The Sun newspaper stole one of my photos of a Stun gun :rolleyes
Here is the message that he posted
***************
"Don't know if you're interested anymore, but I have an original Stun Gun from Space 1999 for sale. It came from the Gerry Anderson exhibition in 1977. I have to be honest, I stole it! I was a bit of a "do anything for a dare" type back then at 11 and really wanted one of these guns. Being egged on by 2 friends, we went down there one afternoon after school. The guns (3 of them?) were in the last display case near the exit (to an amusement arcade). There were no attendants in there at all and it was pretty quiet. While my friends kept watch at the exit, I smashed the glass with a large stone we had got from the beach. I grabbed the nearest gun, at the front and RAN!. We ran down the stairs and out onto Blackpool prom where we made our way to the cafe owned by my friend's dad. Never been so scared in my lfe, but we got away with it.
Anyway, I'm waffling. I recently came across this gun last week in my parent's attic and have no interest in it anymore. A guy at a comic shop near me told me to come to this site. I'm not a fan of science fiction or Space 1999 at all so I don't know how much it's worth although the comic bloke said to expect at least a few hundred quid!
It's in what I would call "good" condition. It's made of light wood (very dissapointed when I first got it- I was expecting metal!), has metal barrels on the front and 2 round metal dials on the side. It has a stun/kill switch on top (metal and wood) that still slides but is very loose, so it slides across when you pick it up), and some of the paint is missing on the left hand side, exposing wood underneath. It has a few chips on the edges too.
Open to good offers, and I would prefer if any buyer would come to pick it up in person at my house near Blackpool.
My number is 07425 *2*71* (phone up to midnight, text anytime)
Not interested in swapping for anything. Sell only.
Thanks."
