No, it looks like Macks is doing it's job as a deterrent for idiots.
Can't help those young'uns that use Discord and the various other websites to buy their Airsoft wares, but at least this forum is actively calling out the deluded, ignorant, or downright scamming sellers.

tis a curious system, don't think i've seen anything like it on other hobbyist forums but i can't deny for the most part it seems to work.
ofc very easy for something like this to go south if folk don't approach it with the attitude of it being advice with a bit of humour rather than flaming folk for no good reason.

That is a very good point.
It's interesting that even with the ebb and flow of users over the years, it's managed to (just about) hold the delicate balance of piss-taking and education without becoming something altogether more...churlish.
I wonder if @Mack had any clue what he was going to inadvertently create here.

Totally agree I can be sarcastic as fornication at times(I am Welsh after all , it’s our TRUE national sport) BUT I do try to temper it slightly if an add does seem overly hopeful or just “oh dear that seller really hasn’t a clue on resale value do they !” and on the whole I do think Mac’s sticks to that BUT I do also enjoy it when some wankspanggle gets called out for claiming something their selling is blatantly not(SPR anyone ??
)what they claim it is AND then try doubling down on it ! ?when are these dumbasses ever going to realise this forum is populated buy a lot of players with even more knowledge about the game and the kit than most retailers ! ?????
EDIT ,
And low and behold I give you my exact point !
it’s an AA SA80A1 tarted up so I’m hoping it’s lack of resale value knowledge .
seller says based in Andover ? more like Bendover at that price ! ?

That one is £9 from PatrolBase, if they had any, but they don't. £25 from Bullseye, when they have them.
You can buy a different one from £69 from FireSupport, which is in stock because... well... you're not going to buy it, are you?
£60 from a UK manufacturer.
They're very cheap, if you're in the market for not buying one.

Is this fantasist melt trying to flip on some Collector's Edition toy that he doesn't even have yet? That's a new low.
100% chance that this geezer also has a stack of Dogecoin, and an NFT of a monkey waving a TAC-338, that he might be persuaded to let go for the right price.

A chap trying to flog on a Nobrich Barbie DreamHouse Edition for £900 while it was still (ostensibly) in transit to him. He would be selling it as "new" (as distinct from "as new"). The droppiest of drop shippers.
