Interesting plot twist.  If he actually means that the buyer needs to arrange collection, that can be done.  It'd be a big red flag for me though, and it's not like he's giving the thing away.

I'm thinking hoping that just means the buyer has to pay postage, but at £600 I'd kind of hope it would be included in the price. 

Brand new ICS L85A2: £399

Madbull DD Rail: £123.99 (From China)

Madbull DD ICS Adapter: £16

Grip pod: £11.99

Nuprol Susat: £99.99

Top rail: £16.99

Sling: £10 (Probably less from a surplus store)

Pouch: £5

So roughly £700 in total (Factoring in shipping costs etc), brand new (Except the pouch and sling, obviously) with no issues at all

So for £100 less, with no warranty or mag and a dodgy selector switch you can buy his. ?

Definitely seemed overpriced to me. I recently picked up another ICS L85 with all of the above (Minus pouch), as well as the LLM, Z-Mount and Acog as well as upgrades for £500 including delivery

"This is likely a simple fix."

If it's that much of a simple fix then why didn't they do it.

Cos they're either lazy, incompetent, or it isn't the "quick fix" they'd have you believe ?

makes it a 2 in 3 odds though, guess the 1 in 3 are hoping folk are ready to gamble.

and it's not as if a pew that appears to be functioning reasonably well on the surface can't still be a horror show once you get under the hood.

Call me cynical but I'd put money on option 3  being the most likely as a working gun has a higher chance of selling than one that isn't 

 
Found this beauty on the F&O discord.

No details, an exorbitant price, and only one poor quality photo with bad lighting.

Can't even tell if it comes with a magazine from that advert!

Best gnu ever + best upgrades ever = selling because I've "bought a better one".

As for the bit about postage is at the buyers liability, I'm sure distance selling laws say otherwise

It's another equivalent of @avenger63's "I’m not a retailer so no warrantees, refunds or returns" thing -- basically trying to claim that if it's posted, it's at. the buyer's risk (and their problem) if it gets lost or damaged during shipping.

Unfortunately that kind of person erroneously says this when *they're* the ones posting it -- so the contract is to deliver is between them and RM/Parcelforce/courier -- meaning the buyer often can't do anything, and it's up to the seller to claim for any lost/damaged parcels, and the liability remains solely with the seller.

Is that lanyard... cable-tied on?! They've not even cut down the tail on the cable tie... ?‍♀️?

Maybe that's where there £200 comes in -- a totally custom, unique, one-off lanyard attachment system... ?

There's definitely a direct correlation between not knowing the history of a RIF and taking a photo of it on your duvet.

 
TM Hi Capa with parts that could make it less reliable, sounds like a bargain....

I'm fairly sure people think you can just throw any expensive parts in guns that are known to be reliable and it makes them "better"

"these are selling around the £200 mark if you can find one in stock"

[citation needed] ?

So... £160 collected (£170 posted) from Mr. "no warranties, refunds or returns" / "only accept PayPal friends or bank transfer due to scammers removing parts etc" ...

... or £165 brand new with warranty, ability to return/refund if needed/wanted, and solid service from a reputable retailer who has plenty in stock ?

? He's now edited his listing without all the BS and repriced it at £140 w/ postage.
