Hi all, regarding members putting a piece of paper showing their username & the current date within the pictures in their sales threads, I mistakenly thought this was already a rule, but rereading through the forum I note this is currently only a recommendation. Any way this could be made a permanent requirement please, I just feel that with the ever growing membership, many of whom only come here to take advantage of the high member count & just utilise the classifieds, it's only a matter of time before we get another run of scammers trying their luck. I also feel this should be applied to the appraisals section, as some threads there seem to be worded in such a way as to generate sales interest, with members often replying saying things like "first dibs please", again without the op displaying proof the items are in their possession. Its a small point but fairly crucial in ensuring provenance of items shown in pictures.

PayPal provides an almost escrow service acting as the middleman between two parties. Friends & family is purely for transferring an amount of money and receives no other PayPal services Standard payments with fees (deducted from the amount the recipient receives) have a level of dispute protection It’s as simple as that - you have no right to a comeback on a F&F payment ‘Send me £1 F&F’ should be translated into ‘send me an amount of money that puts £1 into my account’ If they won’t let you pay £1.34 to enable them to receive £1 after fees then that should tell you there’s a problem Even better if the seller takes into account fees and postage before creating a listing with the price

I don't see why not. If @Jedi_Master is ok with it then I'll edit the rules.

I had an issue last year with ebay/hermes, gear was showing on hermes tracking as delivered, but no pod or delivery picture. Seller literally went "shown as delivered, not our problem, go whistle for a refund or replacement", hermes wasn't much better initially with a robot system that went round in circles & choked every time it got to the non existent proof of delivery, initially ended up jumping on the local delivery guy, who then gave me his ops managers name, she was more help & established the item had not got past the senders depot, & maybe not even collected by hermes ?, so was it the sender pulling a fast one, possibly ?. Even tracking down the European ceo of hermes email got an agreement that they would now consider it lost, but still ebay dragged their heels settling the claim, & PayPal weren't much better as the pod crap automatically closed down any attempt at a claim. What a cluster fuck, & trying to get any of them to talk to each other was like herding cats, very stupid cats lol. Only way it was resolved was my inability to not quit (which I think they were hoping for), it was only a £30 transaction, so while I wasn't prepared to devote much of my time, every week or so I'd fire off a pre-pasted email or make them call me with a couple of button pushes & then send them off to chase each others tails lol.

Kinda had this lying around 😂 It’s a proper cheeky wee scamp!

As mentioned above I'd be inclined to split it out personally. List the MWS itself with a single fully working mag in the £400 region (I'd be inclined to sling in the currently non-functioning mag as a freebie). For the fully functional mags I'd be looking in the region of £40 a pop, but I'd hold fire listing those and give first refusal to the buyer of the MWS. Just negotiate a price you're both happy with there, any remaining mags can be listed at £40 a go, with a potential for discount if multiples are taken. As for the M16 parts I'd go for £60 for the stock, and £120 for the M5 front end. £160 if someone wants to take both together. And just a general note, I'd advise unloading the mags which look to have BBs in them still. Keep those springs fresh 👌

I thought the title read "Provence In Pictures" and I'd mistaking clicked on the wife's holidaying in France forum 🙂

I've only played there once but definately enjoyed myself and would go back if it wasn't such a ball ache to get to. One aspect I really liked was that you have a good mix of short and long engagement ranges so you can be sneaky or pick people off (or at least try) from a distance. If it's a warm day make sure you take planty of water as the steep hills can be knackering

The added annoyance is that there is a UPS pick up point a mile away at a petrol station. In the good old TaiwanGun days, pre brexit, countless of their UPS deliveries were placed there while I was at work. I dont understand why suddenly UPS didnt deposit this one there too. When I got sent that by my partner once they got home I was convinced it would have been Evri or Yodel. Then again, beyond the order confirmation email, I was surprised that I got no correspondance from the shop or UPS in regards to it being dispatched etc.

I'd say that's the right attitude, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's liked the look of a gun and splashed the cash, only to find out it doesn't suit my play style. For example I prefer SMGs or carbines as I like to be sneaky and a long gun doesn't help when trying to get through thick bushes etc This. Most airsofters love to talk about and show off their kit, in fact it's probably harder to get them to shut up about it

Nothing wrong with getting shot to shit, some of the most fun games I've had have been when I've had my arse handed to me on a plate

I’d say there’s two issues here really - first one’s the delivery being left on the doorstep, unfortunately, as others have said, post-Covid it’s a fact of life, factor that with the huge increase in online shopping and demand for delivery, drivers are on a tight schedule. The second, and perhaps more important, is the fact that it’s clearly a RIF sat on your doorstep - I’d say that’s bad practice by the seller and it should really be fully wrapped and not obvious. My two’penneth - I had a RIF delivered by UPS, wasn’t in to accept it so it went back to the depot and I arranged to collect from a local pickup point. The package was also fully wrapped, so if it had been left, it was just any other unidentifiable parcel. But I’m lucky, DPD, Hermes, etc, round our way are all pretty good and we know, by sight at least, the drivers to exchange pleasantries with.

I remember it used to be a few years back, before the new classifieds launched. It is nice to have as you always hear the horror stories, and many out there still are happy to pay friends and family...

Just went on a bit of a spree in Osaka, ended up with an TM SD6 and a MK46. Prices too good not to. Pics to follow when I return next week

I would mention it. At this point those with less morals would take it in and then claim I never arrived. Get a second one curtesy of ups as its their insurance that would be picking up the bill not JD.

pretty good deal at airsofttiger for the elusive original Pmags for the NGRS M4's etc. $10.90 per mag and they also do a hicap at the same price. remember that shipping will be around 40 quid for 6 mags. it works out about £17 per mag. https://airsoft.tiger111hk.com/p52171/Battleaxe-120rds-GEN.2-P-style-magazine-for-Next-Gen-M4/SCAR/HK416-NGRS-AEG-Black/product_info.html

This is the wrong forum really as it’s an air pistol rather than airsoft, but the interests may cross over Theres one for sale here for £50: https://www.guntrader.uk/guns/air-pistols/diana

A man walks into a rooftop bar and takes a seat next to another guy. “What are you drinking?” he asks the guy. “Magic beer,” he says. “Oh, yeah? What’s so magical about it?” Then he shows him: He swigs some beer, dives off the roof, flies around the building, then finally returns to his seat with a triumphant smile. “Amazing!” the man says. “Lemme try some of that!” The man grabs the beer. He downs it, leaps off the roof —and plummets 15 stories to the ground. The bartender shakes his head. “You know, you’re a real jerk when you’re drunk, Superman.

Yeah it was a complete horror show. Remember there was a thread on Arnies with a chap that was going through the various problems. That particular individual was one who has made his own replicas from scratch. God help the average airsofter trying to get one running.

Sell this dude the kit and me the MWS 😬

Happy to have been able to help.

it worked, Id just installed the NPAS a couple of weeks ago and left it as it, Id not tested it etc so didnt know the ins and outs.. The more you know!

Unusual for JD airsoft not to wrap parcels well. Brought from them several times and it’s always been in UPS wrapping. Got one this morning funnily enough.

That's absolutely depend on that particular situation. I bought an HolyWarrior S1 from a forum member a week ago and because he has good reputation here I did F&F not even thinking about it twice. But in general I wouldn't pay for guns on prefired, airsofthub, usedairsoft etc.

The problem is deeper than making 'complete' listings show as 'sold'. I don't want expired listings to show as 'sold' (which is what this would do). Many people dig through old advertisements and send messages to sellers looking to buy items in the hopes that they may still actually be available. I currently judge it as the lesser of two evils that we might find a sale for our listed items that we've not been able - or forgotten - to relist. Even many months after the fact there is a lot of potential for niche listings to find a buyer. I understand that this can be annoying for sellers who do stay on top of relisting their items. What would be required is the ability to show hidden, 'expired' listings and for users to easily mark their items as sold, withdrawn or otherwise even after they are 'expired' (this may already be possible). Additionally some kind of timer on 'expired' listings moving from simply marked 'expired' (perhaps for 7 days) to hidden by default (as mentioned).

Surely you can't be serious

I wonder if it’s programmable 🤔 tbh I am going to print a base that will let me run 50rd mags

Before the invention of the crowbar, crows had to drink at home.

I'm just glad to see some different historical pistols. What I wouldn't give for a TM browning hi power or makarov. I mean it's not like they are uncommon...

Think you forgot the linky dude.

What kind of muppet leaves a RIF on someone's doorstep? Imagine if someone nicked it but UPS reports back it got delivered... You can mention it but I higly doubt anything is gonna change. All of these companies have contracts with these couriers I'm sure it's not that simple to replace them.

Inform the seller for info But items left on doorsteps are now a fact of life. Time constraints and delivery targets mean that carriers take the added risk of a claim for missing items which haven’t been delivered in person Ideally the seller should have sent it without the ability for an unsigned drop off, adult recipient etc - which they may have paid for

To be fair, even the edited vids are like watching paint dry lol, if my introduction to Airsoft had been via YouTube I'd have probably never started playing.

Fancied a change in colour 😁

Funny you should post that, my latest purchace was a WE P99. I did have one of the Maruzen NBB ones years ago but I hated the mushy trigger so sold it. I know what you're getting at though, half the reason I got one was to be different from all the Glock and Hi Cappas out there Me too. Christ I feel old now For me I'd say the golden age was probably around the late 2000's. The ACM guns were relatively cheap but effective and social media wasn't a big thing so there was less of the egotistical bellends spouting nonsense (well there were some, but they usually ended up being put in their place). Also I was nice to not have every other player wearing multiple cameras and thinking they're the next Steven Spielburg while pushing their crappy goontube channel

Technically, technically - cotter pins are the tapered pins with a thread on the end used for holding cranks to shafts. Like pushbikes used to use. Them darned colonials are the ones that use split pin and cotter pin interchangeably. Bastards.

Aww friend... airsoft friend.
