Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

Another one only signing up to try and sell their tat for almost the same price as new. Roll on September and all the kids go back to school 




 
Seems all of his listings are taking the piss. Gate titan for £100, £109 brand new from PatrolBase

Magpul AFG in the same horrible paint scheme £25, £29 brand new from LandWarrior

Action Army 45k motor for £60 or a brand new one from Cage Airsoft (Who tend to be expensive af) for £68

The only “good” deal is the acetech tracer but again in a horrible paint job (Not that I can talk, looking at the hideous g36 I bought…)

 
The fuck is this dude smoking?

I had a quick sale listing for £280 for a GBB SR16 build with 6 mags. This dude offers me £170 for the gun, attachments and ONE magazine.

We finalise on a deal where I offer £210 and said I'd throw an extra mag in.

Cut to today, this geezer messages me saying I've essentially scammed him by nocking him down 7 mags? I don't even have 7 mags! 

Asking £210 for a GBB with 6 mags is beyond insane, especially for a listing that is asking £280 for it all. Wtf!

The handguard I can understand, however it was mentioned in the listing that it was missing a grub screw.

He's now threatening going to PayPal for a refund! How am I supposed to get out of this!

You have the message receipts of the deal so if he does dispute it, that should be enough evidence to side with you...

However the "experts" at PayPal may read your message as "Pay me 210 for everything and I'll give you one extra magazine" which this highly intelligent individual also seemed to think you meant. Re-reading the conversation I can kind of see where he got the miscommunication from.

Offer for him to return the replica to you in the same condition it was received and tell him you'll issue a refund excluding fees and postage if he's dissatisfied, 9 times out of 10 that's enough to dissuade them from seeking action AND if he refuses then you have further evidence to prove you did try to handle the situation and he, the buyer, refused your help if he does open a dispute

Ive offered him to return it and have it fixed free of charge. He's declined every time I've offered it (4 times now) and is still being a bit of an arse about the mags. I've never been in such a situation before with PayPal. My primary issue is I don't have that money as I've had to take an emergency trip for family reasons hence I was selling it cheap

 
I saw that ad (although you've deleted it now, which doesn't do you any favours tbh). I was tempted by it but wasn't quick enough.

Just tell the guy it's refunds or nothing, and I'll have it off you for the same money, no fucking about.

Keep records of everything regarding it, him denying the help etc. If he does open a dispute then you'll have the evidence you've done the best you can do to help him with the issue. However, whilst I appreciate it was probably beyond your control in the future don't spend the money until you know the purchaser is happy lol
