Any takers for a used nearly stock SSG10 A1 for a bargain £400? Why buy new?

It's... it's in stock, in the UK, for £300.

https://www.ukfob.co.uk/Novritsch-Airsoft/SSG10/Novritsch-SSG10-A1-Airsoft-Sniper-Rifle

Does a €79, er, "official" sight add over £100 to the value?  Does it only work with the "official" sight?

I don't know whether to pity the seller, or anyone daft enough to pay close to that much for a low-powered pre-fiddled example without warranty.

 
Here's an absolute stoater.

https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/evolution-airsoft-by-100461-devgru-dg74-aeg-rifle

Missing multiple parts and requires reassembly. Yet on sale at full price sans any warranty (these were actually in stock tail end of last year for £85).

Or an even better one from the same page:-

https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/evolution-airsoft-by-100444-dg74-aeg-rifle

Another EA 74, this time completely and utterly fooched. Decisively u/s, does not work at all, and stock and handguard busted for good measure. A bargain at almost full price with zero warranty!

Spivs.

 
'This could be a good start to a Kyber pass style AK build, but only for the advanced tech, since the gearbox is completely dead.'

Translation:

'It's so fucked that you could build an authentic looking fucked up rifle from it, but only if you know what you're doing.'

 
"Fucked" doesn't cover it. It's complete junk, in and out. Fit for the skip IMO. Rogerborg has it right, it's predatory.

I really like PB but ffs that's ripping the pish. There again if some mug buys it its not really their problem...

This was not so much "this isn't worth the money", but more "I would have cropped the thumbnail images myself..."

Wtf. Pics of someone's todger are not summat you want to see in an ad...

 
Shouldn't have let the laddie play with it then... a harsh lesson in parenting! Idiots.

Looking elsewhere £185 seems to be the going rate new. This one's pumped and add on 11 quid postage, it's dearer than a new, functional piece.

Dreamers, spivs, walts, charlatans and con-artists, all. As bad as politicians.

The reason for sale is a little unique, though.

"You need to fully compensate me for my misfortune" is certainly a fresh twist.

Mind you, so is being told that you're responsible for demonstrating that an item isn't fit for the purpose for which it's being sold.  Unless said son was helicoptering the thing around by the stock, I'm not clear how it's reasonable for normal handling to snap it, or how, if it did, you wouldn't be entitled to a repair or refund.

If I sat my 75kg in a demonstrator car and one of the road springs collapsed, would I be billed for the full price of the car? ?

Unlikely but if you decided to recreate the dukes of hazard and slide over the bonnet and then bugger the spring yeah they'll make you pay?. Those stocks maybe pot metal but it will still take quite slot of applied force to break them.

 
The walts aren't half out and about eh. Is there summat in the water? Is it an undiscovered side affect of covid or the vaccines?

Overpriced, over the limit (I.e. illegal), nae thanks.

Generic M4, Section 5 prohibited firearm, lost the M90 spring, doesn't come with the parts shown, lower specced than the Edge series, £30-£60 more than full retail.

But it's beige.
