Ex Two tone Well MB03A "Customised" with some gorilla tape, a generic scope 3 mags worth a few pounds each and a broken(?) bipod. All for the low low price of £135.
Or you can just get the base rifle for just £51 from TG brand new. Mags are 4 quid each, a generic scope can be as low as 10 quid from ebay. Working bipod for the same sort of money. Shipping would be around £15.

You don't even need to buy more mags - the one from TG already comes with three.
So basically, £80 for the same thing. But brand new. And not a two tone covered up with camo tape.
And yet, someone will still buy it...

£125, and the sight is in the Netherlands. Plus postage and PP fees.
£125 + £18 (that's what he says postage would be.)= £143
Plus another fiver for fees.
So £148.
OR

£146, plus £6 post.
So an extra £4 to have a guaranteed genuine Vortex sight, shipped in the UK from a retailer.
Or save £4 to have one shipped from a private individual in Holland...
Vortex seem to occupy a strange place in the second hand world, as they hold their value due to the guarantee.
But the guarantee only stands if they're genuine - and there are some pretty freakishly good copies coming from China (look at @rocketdogbert ' s UH-1 as an example).
Asking what is effectively the same as RRP for a sight seems daft to me, no matter what the guarantee.

Agreed. Regardless of whether or not it's genuine, a potential £4 saving just doesn't warrant consideration.
What can I say, you're absolutely right! Guess they are a bit cheaper in the UK compared to the Netherlands, will adjust the price accordingly, should have done my research a bit better! Thanks!

you're doing it wrong, you are meant to start arguing with the person that posts your advert. XD
To be fair, it's absolutely disgusting that @Philby21 is selling that scope for that much money anyway.

Slide Kit - £239.99 https://wolfarmouries.co.uk/ace-1-arms-sai-g19-tier-1-rmr-slide-set-black-we.html
Magwell - £95 . https://www.evike.com/products/69846/ It's probably not the right one, but hey ho.
Extra magazine - £19
Base gun - £99.99 - https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/we-europe-g-series-g17-gen4-gas-airsoft-pistol
150% spring hammer - £6
150% spring recoil - £6
trigger spring - £3
£468.98
£69 saving.
So not even saving the VAT that everything went down in value by the second it was bought.
Then again, the SAI kit may be super, super rare, and someone might really, really want it.
They'd have to really, really want it though...
And I would have thought if they were the sort of person who really, really wanted something like that, then they'd really, really want to build it themselves.
But, you never know, all sorts gets sold on here for all sorts of bonkers prices...

Some crack being smoked here seeing as you can buy new for £380 in the UK, and sometimes for a lot less imported if there's a flash sale on Redwolf or Shootclub

thanks for the insight. Price dropped accordingly. Magwell on mine is a Gen 3. But hey thanks for the price breakdown. Peeps will know how much they are saving with the new price.
Cheers!

Correction - not a £69 saving. If we work off our standard accepted reduction of 1/3 for being used the price should be circa £310.
Much better pricing. Glad you took the thread in the spirit its intended.

The whole package came to £468.98. It was advertised for £400.
So if you bought from him, I was stating the saving was £69 over buying it all new...
And what's going on here????
That's two in a row who've acted reasonably? Bit of a result actually ?

Oh dear, whatever credit you had amassed through your positive engagement with the forum has now been rendered null and void via the gratuitous usage of the slang 'innit'.....
