Need help with working out how to ship a large item
Austeyr replied to Austeyr's topic in General Discussion
I ended up sticking it into a vacuum bag, then just wrapped that bag in a bin bag and taped the fuck out of it 😂 Ebay wants me to use their prepaid evri though which is annoying, prefer to do my own shipping stuff 🙄 -

This has been the case for decades now. Over time the complexity of electronic products has increased, more functions are on ICs rather than discrete components, and the assembly methods favour small and closely packed board layouts to minimise size, which makes it an absolute bastard to perform repair on most things. Plus an unhealthy dose of Planned Obsolescence. If I never have to replace an 0201 surface mount component it'll be too soon. It's like handling a grain of sand.

It’s interesting and perhaps a sign of the times that repair and make do is becoming a bygone thing of the past.Yet the green agenda has never been so publicised ? However some of the higher end units are retailing at £250 and when warranty ends you’re totally snookered! Surly a repair would cost less then replacement?

Maybe there is one of those old style “Tv & Video/PC” repair shops in your city that you could ask nicely to have a look at It sounds like it just need a bit of accurate soldering It might be of interest and a challenge to somebody a bit old school with the “make do and mend” attitude

Some more items from the clear out excortech x3200 chrono - can only describe this as new and hardly used as it’s one of 4 I have £45 will include the free adapted pouch that I used as a bb catcher for indoor chrono testing large Bergen, old school British Army DPM, its used but clean enough with no rips or tears etc, all buckles and zips look good. - I have no idea how to price this so il accept offers, postage is going to be £7 on this because of bulk and weight. **edit it’s been suggested £25-30 plus postage and fees is a good price** 2 genuine Magpul PTS PMAGS 120? Round, fit most ar platform AEGs, feed great, I just have too many of them and not enough AR’S £18.50 each Next Tokyo Marui TM P226, great Tm gas blow back pistol, with 2 mags and a repro weapon light, £105 there might be a holster with this two, but it’s not light bearing. (If I can find it) condition over all is decent, but used, so has the usual holster marks. It has been well looked after and regularly cleaned and lubed. Postage is £3.60 tracked and insured for any items (other then the Bergen) buyer must cover PayPal fees.105.00 GBP

Mmm I wondered if it might be an Israeli one too, the red dot itself looks a little bit trijicon-esque. Edit*** Yeah here we go: https://www.trijicon.com/discontinued-products/details/rx01-10

Blackstone CQB started running such games. I especially appreciated the fact that they forced a certain "spirit of the game" by banning HPA-adapted weapons for the pistol & shotgun games so nobody could rock up with an Hi-Capa with an M4 mag.

Alternatively, you can buy it from a retailer and get some peace of mind with a warranty while paying £100 less for the privilege https://www.defconairsoft.co.uk/product/tokyo-marui-biohazard-albert-w-model-01p/

I don't imagine imagine there is much of a business case for repro PEQ/NGAL/MAWL/etc repairs, especially in the UK, because it won't be worth it for the customer. Outside of the wiring, spare components such as laser emitters won't have economies of scale that there would be much profit margin unless a repair business bought hundreds if not thousands. I side with Lyndication. Once you factor in parts & labour costs along with shipping, especially with something less expensive like a PEQ, buying a replacement is more viable than a repair from a customer's perspective.
