Thank you guys for pulling my attention to my post

No worries. The fact you've taken onboard what's been posted and adjusted the price accordingly shows you're not an arse. Far too often the poster digs their heels in and refuse to accept any criticism and wonder why their trashed pos gun (usually listed 'as new') won't sell for the same as new

It's all props to Mack's rally for most of my understanding of the Airsoft 2nd market, which many others with other crippling expensive hobbies will say is probably a microcosm of most hobby 2nd hand markets....

Same here. It also makes me avoid airsofthub and used airsoft as they're both a hotbed of overpriced tat

It's only right mate.

I've no time for blaggers myself. As soon as that discrepancy was brought to my attention, was rectified.

World is full of ??'s and I don't intend on being one ?

70% of retail for a two-tone. That's optimistic.

It looks like our old friend still hasn't heeded advice that he is is mislabelling his gun as something by Specna Arms despite numerous people pointing out with evidence that it is almost certainly a Cyma product.

He's jacked up the price too above retail. I hate to cast aspersions but how can one lack a basic understanding of supply and demand economics?

From a WhatsApp used airsoft gear group.

He paid £530 but didn't consider rentals or buying something cheap to invest in getting UKARA so he could avoid two-tone?

He'll be disappointed with his offers but as I assume he isn't a UKARA member, is he not stitching himself up by offering to respray a two-tone unless he still uses a bright colour?

 
Not exactly a steal - £500 in total new if you used the most expensive retailers in UK & Ireland, these things are being sold off left, right and centre ffs. At best £250, £330 is a few steps into lalaland if not doing posting and fees included (which is not)

Unspecified upgrades? Check

Horrible 2tone? Check

No details? Check

Crack inspired price point? Check

CBA to actually post in Classifieds? Check

Eventually reposts in correct place. Check

Claims 335 fps on.25s. Check

Apparently 370+ fps on .2s. Check

Too hot to run on UK sites. Check

Congratulations thats a solid Mack's entry right there and on your first ever forum post no less.

Did you not see that he has posted it in classified, with details? 




 
If we needed another reason why stating joules rather than fps is important, his admission that the 335fps is on 0.25g BBs puts it at above 1.3J so he's selling an airsoft gun that could land him and/or the buyer in serious trouble.

100% this. About to edit above post lol.

 
Seller admits performance on semi is "sluggish" and with that fps it's either busted or they're using seriously heavy bbs. Either way you'd need to be dreaming to think someone would swap a working gun for a broken one




 
Considering people are trying to get around £300 for smersh rigs on eBay, they're dreaming if they think a seemingly boneyard RIF is that valuable, "rare" model or not.

It seems he is a bit of a cunt as well; this is from his FB page.

That stupid cunt is probably best described as a pizza cutter. He's all edge and no point

 
Jesus.... have you scrolled down his profile page?  What a prize bellend LOL.  Looks like most of his "friends" are much the same.

Now that's 2 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
