You can ask what ever you want , NO ONE MESSES WITH THE MOD SQUAD ! ?

???

 
General rule for airguns is two thirds of original price if mint.

Less if signs of use.

I hhave always stuck by this and had bno problems selling thi gs over the years.

Of course you lose a lot of money doing this but why should others be expected to pay for your mistakes. Buying second hand always involves a risk and this should be factored in where pricing is concerned.

The important thing is to buy wisely and keep the stuff you buy.

  • One day I might get the hang of it.?
 
And another contender, joined an hour ago & first post is to flog kit for more than the new price... love it ?.

Maybe mods should think about a minimum post count before being able to sell ?, might discourage the fly by night chancers who don't actually contribute in any way.

I totally agree with this.
I understand that having a well used classified section benefits the forum as a whole.
However, having a reputation as a decent place to buy stuff, from regular members, with some form of track record would be better in the long run.
I'm a member of forums for other hobbies and generally the for sales section is behind a "wall". 
And to get past it, you have to have been a member for x long, with a post count of x many.
It means that to get to the sales, you have to be engaged with the forum.
And the advantage of that is that people end up staying well beyond their need to sell y or buy z.....
I'm not suggesting that we put the classifieds behind a wall - but making peeps work a little for the privilege of being allowed to post sales is definitely worth thinking about imho.

Problem ive noticed with this however is forums ending up being filled with complete pointless posts that people make just to get post count up to be able to use sales sections as fast as possible

That's alright, banhammer the spammers, I'm sure they'll be easy to spot.

Yup.

That's why there's the "engagement" element as well.

Passing the time/post barrier means they can ask to be given access. Doesn't mean they get it....

I'd say two-thirds of the cheapest current retail price, including from TaiwanGun / GunFire.

I mention this because I can only assume that some of these comedy ads are from people who didn't bother to shop around, and who don't think anybody else will either.

It's funny, but also a little sad that folk are apparently paying way over the odds for cheap guns.  Rip Off Britain writ large.

Fair point.

 
Can get it cheaper from a retailer, & have a warranty !.

Guys got some other sales threads, haven't checked but bet predictably high too.




 
This has to be my all time favorite so far ! ?



OR you can buy them from amazon for £9 all in ! ?‍♂️

 
Scuffed 5.1 Hi-Capa with no mags.  If it could shoot, it would shoot at 320fps though. A steal at just £200.



Hurry, hurry, he's only been trying to flog it since March, it could go at any second.

(Or, buy one brand new for £128)
