Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

Thanks for clearing that up mate, I know I had seen the label but wasn't sure which it was on. Strange that the JPC 1.0. doesn't really have anything other than what I can only describe as a Mil coloured size label and nothing else.

Very odd.

Needs a tag on the Plate Bag like the 2.0 has. 

 
not really the price per-say, but this feels like it must surely be on the borderline of legality given it's using what appears to be explosives to lob rounds?:

The mortar rounds and TLSFX mortar is totally legal as they are sold by TLSFX (obviously as they are named in the ad) what wouldn't be legal is them trying to ship them using a non regulated courier. They would ideally either have to do collection only or arrange the appropriate courier (which even some airsoft shops seem to fall foul of as I've had deliveries of large pyro orders with no specialist courier)

The mortar rounds alone would come to about £115 from TLSFX if I recall their prices right. Not sure how much their (the TLSFX) mortar is but the home made one I'd scrap.

fair enough, i hadn't heard of them but i was under the impression using explosive propellant automatically made it a firearm regardless of power (at least that's how i understand it).

In fairness I was under the same impression but the mortar rounds have been around for a considerable amount of time and never been called into question. The home made mortar though is questionable.

I'm more outraged by it being posted in "electric rifles".  That should be a banhammer offence.

Mind you, I think that about most things.

 
This caught my eye. I thought "wow! £40 for all these is a decent price!". Then I read the description..

Saw the same thing, surely being 4 he could have just listed each one separately....

Why, what’s the point of filling the classified thread with individual listed items when I can have them all in one post? Does it really make that much of a difference?

Because its a deceiving advert, says £40 in the advert title for 4, I and other interpreted that as all four for £40 which isn't the case. Change the title and maybe people wouldn't have picked up on it.

plus people don't usually pay that much for single secondhand unbranded red dots, hence why its in the "dreamers" thread?

 
It’s not a deceiving advert and there is no intent to deceive. 

The advert clearly states £40 each item, posted. A price has to be added to the post and it’s either put £40 or £120. Anyone who goes into that advert thinking they’re going to pick those 4 items up for £40 total, clearly has no idea of the value of the individual items. A quick scroll through the threads will show that items are regularly clumped together in one post with a price for one of the items on the main page. I’ve use this method often when selling multiple items and never had it questioned. It just shows the importance of reading an advert before looking to buy.

£40 is a starting price. There’s usually negotiation in sales. Just because I can’t remember which brand they are doesn’t mean they’re cheap, nasty knockoffs.

Ah yes, must of missed those bulk sales listed at £500+ and then broken down in the descriptions.

Did I say you were intentionally trying to deceive no, I said the title of the thread was deceiving.

?

 
@Super64 Regardless you're not shifting those at £40 a pop when you can buy them new for half that, which is why I posted it here. Adjust the price is my suggestion.  :)

 
@Super64, call my cynical if you like, but why not repost them in a few weeks when its half term, more likely to find a punter who'll pay your prices.

And no, you not being able to name the brands doesn't necessarily mean they're shite, but it does tell me that they're unlikely to be top quality ?.

 
I get the point that’s being made, and the prices on everything I’ve sold in the past and will sell in future are always a starting point and I’m not to proud to drop my prices if items don’t sell. Yeah, maybe £40 is more than some people are willing to pay for these and if they don’t sell I’ll change the price. But I’ve had some enquires about them already, so I’ll wait to see what happens. Offers are always considered and replied to on any of my sales.
