I love it when people quote RRPs to justify their stupidly over-inflated pricing.

I wouldn't pay more than £300 for that.

 
Don't normally stray into non-AK pattern airsoft guns but this listing  price seems steep for what you get.

But the description dose seems to have the usual  embellishments this bit made me chuckle.   "The gun is a beast with a ridiculously long barrel so will outshoot most snipers. I’ve been airsofting for years and I’ve never seen a gun as accurate as this at long ranges."

It’s a bit of an exaggeration but not total bollocks. I’ve got about a 50-60fps variation moving the spring guide from the outermost and innermost settings.

Still wouldn’t pay that for a second hand gun tho!

This caught my attention, mainly because I like the fal/SLR family, then I saw the price, wtf, I'm thinking he's optimistic to the tune of £100-£150 ?, Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong ?

I really wanted one of these but when jd Airsoft were selling them they appeared to be £125 cheaper than BB guns 4 less now have it up at. Regardless I feel £300 would be a closer price for this but someone may buy it.

That's the price I had in mind, I too want one but if I was blowing £450 I'd do it on an all singing all dancing L1A1, ideally with plenty of mags, CA fals nice but the JG version from one of the polish shops performs just as well for way less dosh.

Moving on a tad.... Silverback HTI.... holy crap!. Have you seen the one for sale on prefred? It's like £1K... I had no idea a base model costs like £899!. I mean that's a lot of dosh for any gun (except a Systema PTW)!!

Is it like the ultimate sniper or what?

I've been deliberating going back to the SRS platform given the latest Gen has just been released, whilst the HTI is a beast, for what he's offering / what's with the package - if it can be verified with whom supplied it then the price is reasonable. however the god awful paint job has me running to the hills so one I'll pass on by

 
so here we have a wonderful case of lazy advertising.

i'm well aware that a sufficiently well put together hi-capa with high quality parts assembled by a reputable tech is an expensive proposition.

however how in gods name am i supposed to work out if i want to drop £800 of my hard earned on such a gun when the seller doesn't even bother to set out the parts list? or at least name-drop the tech he used if he doesn't know it himself?

I did say message for parts list . Either way I fixed it and I apologise

No apology needed mate, wasn't digging you out per se, guys here are super helpful, almost to the point of spoonfeeding lol, but at the same time we can be a bit critical, especially when it comes to this thread.

true, i'm kinda regretting jumping in so quickly with the scathing analysis now.

 
In stock on PatrolBase for £279.95

By my maths- £243 worth of upgrades

So on the surface a good deal, up until you see "under fps". According to a discord post- under fps here is actually 100 fps under what it should be. 

Yeah... in my mind that makes the upgrades worth exactly £0 because I've got no idea where the issue is. Yes is most likely an air seal issue and probably easy to fix but you never know. 

My advice, get it to a tech and firing at a good fps and then post it back up at the same price. Hell can probably even as for more (£523 * 0.6 = 313)
