Was that because it was a Systema or because you heavily upgraded the internals?

Me personally I was never that impressed with them , totally accept they feel like a real one and the way you could use RS parts but equally unimpressed by how much you frequently had to do to them to get it really tip top . Do I think there worth the money ? No I don’t BUT you hit the nail on the head , your money your choice .
edit .
my equivalent is loadout’s , I love putting new ones together I really enjoy sourcing everything I need for it to be as accurate (but not full on thread counter accurate!) as I can get it , but then I’ll play one or two games in it and move on too the next one ! ?
So subsequently I’ve a cupboard full of kit I’ll probably now only wear once in a blue moon if I’m lucky ! ?

I bought my ptw with a rebate "free money" i had it made to my ideal spec and it set me back around 2k.
I've had it for 6 years and it's the only gat ive had thats not needed any money spending on it. You could argue thats because i spent it all initially but it's really my most faithful performer.
The trigger response on them was streets ahead of anything else on the market at the time which was my motivation. Plus they also seem to hold their value reasonably well.
I've owned the cheaper TW platforms since and sold them all on as they just don't cut it like a Systema.
Would i buy another one? Probably not, I've a hankering for a recoil given the hysteria anout their performance. (I'd still buy a systema TW5 tomorrow as thats one of a few i regret selling).
As you all say, it's horses for courses, but i would argue mine was worth it.

A0 because it systema
B) because the hop was modded by Tac
That's a bloody good price considering I've seen them going for £1200 recently

Some have said they haven't had to touch theirs for years others have sent off for either repair or service maybe once or twice a year (depending on issue) agreed mate its always going to personal circumstances and what you like/want. Not for everyone but can say the same about anything these days.

Like with so many airsoft toys, it's apparently been "only fielded once". Buying/building one to keep, I can get. Heck, put it in your will that you want to be buried with it (me, that's my Paul Binns sword). Buying/building one to use once, and then get regrets over, eh, not so much.
Not listing the secret extra amount of PayPal fees that you'll want added on is disgusting. I mean, I feel viscerally repulsed that anyone could be so fracking lazy as to not bother to work out the number that they're going to have to work out anyway once they have an interested buyer. Not to be hyperbolic, but it's literally worse than Hitler.

Just to put my spin on it, my "go to" is my tm m4s, bought from another player probably 15 years ago, he'd had a buying frenzy (as many of us do ?), so had only used it once in the month he owned it (I saw the receipt), & I gave him £140 I think, saving £100 on something that was essentially new.
In the last 15 years its been used on hundreds of games, both by me & numerous friends, its never been serviced, never even been opened up, completely stock as the day it was "born", shoots straight & accurate as any gun I've used.
AND NEVER EVER LET ME OR MY MATES DOWN.
(prob jinxed it now?)
Irrespective of how much dosh is in my pocket, would I spend upwards of 1k on something that flings bb's slightly faster than my tm, & feels a little bit more realistic?
FUCK NO ?
Just sayin is all ?

I think it was a typo, looking at his other auctions, they're all low start prices, still quite funny though?
was going to post about a cyma shottie but was beaten by two hours by @Rogerborg

A cheap £20 PC with a few Valken M4 mags. Yours for only £99.95! Act fast because somehow there are 12 watchers!

He mentions an airsoft m4 in the ad, maybe that's "code" for its included ?, its the only reason I can see for asking that much for his shifty vest lol.
BUT I take your vest & raise you £250 for a feckin' torch ?

Which apparently was £430 when they were sold initially, can't think why its discontinued, they must have sold loads.
NOT

Seems like a reasonable price for a piece of equipment that has never been available for civilian purchase. Especially given its function, it does a LOT more than just shine white light out of the front.
