  1. 60% of lowest current retail for anything that I did want (and I wouldn't want to pay 60% of the current retail for a G&G Raider), zero (or maybe postage costs) for anything that I didn't. Just tell the seller straight up what you actually want, and what you're willing to pay for it. But really, there's nothing there that you can't get individually elsewhere, so there's no incentive to go chasing after someone who got mugged and who now "kNoWs wHaT ThIs iS WoRtH AlL DaY LoNg, MaTe." Let them sit on it until they come to their senses, or split it up.

  2. Guns are an essential. It’s then a matter of which guns will suit them (and a sidearm isn’t essential to all players, so depends on site rules such as close up and if they will really switch rather than just end up carrying extra weight : G&G CM16 Raider (+NiMH battery) WE EU27 pistol (+ 2 additional magazines) Charger They ultimately will need BBs, but do they need a starting bulk 15000? Presumably it’s a suitable brand weight that they will use with those guns. But in their package purchase it’s a consumable rather than added value: About 15,000 bb's Are the optics relevant to them? Will they actually use them? Would they choose and use that type/brand/magnification ? Optics Luggage is an essential, hard cases are better than bags, but dedicated cases can also end up meaning that you carry more separate things and find that you need a case for each gun plus a bag for the rest. Are they wanted / needed / desired one day ? Hard Pistol case Hard carry case (100cm) A vest seems essential, something is needed to carry things in game. But will it be one they would choose/use, or one that they will take from the bundle just because it’s included ? Carrier vest Gloves are a wise thing to have and take care of fingers - but would they choose them and very importantly will they fit? Gloves Eye protection is essential. But even though I have numerous sets of goggles, including multiple sets of the same goggles in different colours (even a set in an obscure colour mix that I bought new and still painted for photography & marshaling) There was a point in time that ‘last seasons’ colour schemes went on sale and were the same as or cheaper than new lenses But they don’t need two to start with. Are they ones that they would choose ? Are they in decent condiition? (Lens, straps where applicable Full face masks (x2) In a bundle, to the buyer anything that they would not choose to buy separately has a value of nothing Anything the buyer would use today and replace shortly has some value, but diverts money from what they could be spending on something more preferred People may not be too keen in airsoft, and full face is often for only those under 18 who are required to wear them before going for smaller glasses etc …… But (especially with my background, accompanied by seeing BBs pass peoples ‘eye protection’) …… I recommend paintball goggles, or at least ski mask style goggles Good but entry level paintball goggles cost in the region of £20 - £30 ‘Premium’ paintball goggles can be had for £60 to £100 (and of course more) They need to be tried on to see how the fit is for anyone’s individual head. I have some Valkn/Annex goggles which are the most basic plastic which I bought only for the colour scheme - they fit my head perfectly and are very confortable My preferred goggles are VForce Grills which are a ‘premium’ and I have many sets, others have come out fetching higher prices but don’t suit my head as well (there’s one other that fits me like a glove, but made it to prototype only so are not an option)

  3. If you've checked the current prices it doesn't matter what he paid. Offer £400 and go up to £450 to 'sweeten' the deal. (£475 if you really want it) Otherwise be prepared to walk away...

  5. Turnigy Nanotech packs from Hobbyking are probably the cheapest option I know of. They’re also far above average quality, since they’re not intended for airsoft, and you can find just about any pack size and shape you want.

  6. 99.9% of the time prices go up over time not down so they're either talking out of their arse or know they were ripped off and so are trying to do the same to whoever buys it. Either way I'd walk away

  7. 25% depreciation is only for high end and collectable items. For common stuff I would say more like 50-60% it in good condition. None of this stuff is particularly sought after.

  9. Then I'd be asking the retailer for a solution. Well, I'd have disassembled everything that can be disassembled to see how the indexing works. But do as I say, not as I'd do.

  10. If the stock is a similar size to the TM recoil version a 7.4v 1450mah crane stock battery should just about fit. Those are what I use in my TM and a quick search brought up some narrower batteries than yours.

  12. I cut and then filed the rib off and managed to re-assemble everything, I've had a quick test fire and it seems ok, but I can't tell if the accuracy is better, or if the hop is working as well or better, as I've only got ~17m to shoot across. And as soon as I started shooting the wife went off at me, so didn't manage many shots! Sunday will be the big day!

  13. Just arrived this morning: WE Samurai Edge Gen 2 bought from @Daveoc33 <- big thanks. The mag is gas tight as it still arrived with some left for me to fire it full auto for the giggles. This thing is clean with very few signs of wear. Stripped it already and the inner barrel looks like it's never had a BB through it. I plan on clear-coating the emblems on the pistol grips to preserve them as i've heard these can wear away quickly. One issue i've noticed is that it looks like the hop isn't being applied centrally (when looking down the barrel) so I probably need to strip the hop unit and have a play with it however i'm going to replace the bucking with a new one due to the potential age of the stock one plus buckings have likely massively improved since this was released.

  14. Thanks @Lozart that's an 11.1v 2600mAH crane stock battery (3-way split) ordered for arrival tomorrow (or Friday at worst), £31 inc postage 👍

  15. Since the HobbyKing UK Warehouse shutdown and Brexit - Turnigys are not viable anymore. I have ~30 Turnigy packs (for RC as well as Airsoft) but they will be reaching their end of life soon. It's unlikely that I will be replacing them all at current UK prices. Not quick from the HK warehouse in my experience - they used to send LiPos via boat (that might have changed though) and they last set I ordered from the HK warehouse took 14 weeks - but that was around 8 years ago to be fair. Never bought batteries direct from them again. Is the EU warehouse an option?

  18. Excellent, Vapextech, yeah they've got a decent rep, I believe my 7.4v pack is one of theirs... The only issue is the (very reasonable) p&p of £3 might not get them to me in time. Ah well, I have other batteries, I should be able to get through the day, especially if my GBBR is sorted in time.

    Good bits Ra tech 6.01 inner 440 mm I also have 520 mm which I can include Maple leaf hop rubber and ikey Shoots well Ra tech trigger box New bolt Npas installed with adjustment tool 6 x gas tight mags Comes with aim point pictured Bad bits Needs bolt catch spring so at moment gun does not stop on empty and keeps dry firing, I have ordered spring from KY but will dispatch once in stock , can send once arrives. Slight crack on left side of receiver where bolt catch is (pictured) General wear and tear Gun shoots fine only issue is and this may be hard to understand without seeing issue, but whilst shooting the gun it can some times go off on full auto in semi, I diagnosed that the issue the trigger box is not fully secure and when shooting the bolt slowly puts it out of place which will then cause the bolt to not reset the trigger properly, the simple remedy to this is to either whilst shooting put pressure upwards on the trigger guard where the gun will shoot fine, or you can find a way to secure it so the triggerbox does not drop slightly. If you are interested I can show vid explaining this. But all in all the gun is skirmishable and is beautiful to fire, great recoil and it is loud, the metal pinging sound makes your ears ring!! for me the minor drawbacks are just slight inconveniences. I have set up as dmr so the auto selector has been removed, this allows youcto access hop up adjuster from the side, I have the fire selector to include though. I wanted to keep and fix up myself but want to cut down on my collection . So I have priced to factor in its issues so 450 collected.

  21. @AirSniper If you want all of the stuff then offer what you’re willing to pay If not then don’t. He has the choice to sell partially or as a whole A bundle is handy for a starter, but it’s never what they really want - like @tackle said - it’s a few ancilllary items that you may or may not use, potentially could sell or pass on items But most of these things in bundles end up in the bottom of a bag or back of a cupboard

  22. In fact, buying such a mixed random loadout is actually more likely to saddle you with odd bits you don't need/want, so essentially your doing him a favour taking the tat as well as anything decent, so 50-60% is definitely the max I'd offer, if he don't like it, move on, nothing he's selling is particularly mouthwatering lol.

    An Amish woman and her daughter were riding in an open buggy one cold, blustery January day. The daughter said to the mother, "My hands are freezing cold." The mother replied, "Put your hands between your legs, the body heat will warm them up." So the daughter did, and her hands warmed up. A few days later, the daughter was riding in the buggy with her boyfriend. The boyfriend said, "My hands are freezing cold." "Put them between my legs," she said, "they'll warm up." The next day, the young couple is riding in the buggy again when he says, "My nose is freezing cold." The daughter figures to use the same method as yesterday and says, "Put it between my legs, it will warm up." He did, and his nose quickly warmed up. Again, the next day, they were driving and he told her, "My penis is frozen solid." She once again, gave her standard advice. Later that day, the daughter is driving in the buggy with her Mother. She asked, "Mother, have you ever heard of a penis?" The slightly concerned Mother replied, "Sure, but why do you ask?" The daughter answered, "Well, I just wondered......do they always make such a big mess when they thaw out?"

    Well, we've already had our Shadrach in the furnace moment in the VCRA, and our regulatory reprieve by the grace of God (and the Association of British Airsoft, as-was). Now we're actually in a pretty strong position, as airsoft guns have been well defined in primary national legislation since 2017. Contrast with (e.g.) New York City which raged out and criminalised gel-blasters on a whim, with a definition so broad that it would also seem to cover all piston airsoft guns and many Nerfs as well (and had about as much effectiveness as you'd imagine). While it's true that we could lose RIFs at the stroke of some future Home Secretary's pen, I don't think it's actually likely. If there's one thing I'm sure of it's that Parliament hates to admit that legislation has failed, just that it needs more of the same. For example, constantly adding new and ever more specific types of weapon to the list of prohibited ones. We might see tweaks to the definition of our defence, but I'd be very surprised if it were removed entirely. In terms of the activity itself, nah, we'll be fine. Slinging small, low energy things at each on private land other isn't going anywhere any time soon. We might end up doing it with day-glo gel-blasters eventually, but the core of the activity (dressing up, yelling at each other, and taking it all far too seriously) is safe enough.

  28. Cool story bro. Did you actually read what I posted? It was broken. Particularly the post first game use report - where the gun ran so hot it became unusable, the weird velocity issues and the trigger switch that was in self-destruct mode - all of which I have fixed. One look on the KWA Owners group will show that the stock piston is one of the most common points of failure and the first thing replaced - sometimes within a couple hours of use. Then there's the massive tappet-timing issue that will cut the power output in half as the nozzle and tappet wears. I'm glad yours is working fine. There have been plenty that haven't - right out of the box. I stand by what I've said - not recommended. At all.

    1. When one door closes and another door opens, you are probably in prison. 2. To me, "drink responsibly" means don't spill it. 3. Age 60 might be the new 40, but 9:00 pm is the new midnight. 4. It's the start of a brand new day, and I'm off like a herd of turtles. 5. The older I get, the earlier it gets late. 6. When I say, "The other day," I could be referring to any time between yesterday and 15 years ago. 7. I remember being able to get up without making sound effects. 8. I had my patience tested. I'm negative. 9. Remember, if you lose a sock in the dryer, it comes back as a Tupperware lid that doesn't fit any of your containers. 10. If you're sitting in public and a stranger takes the seat next to you, just stare straight ahead and say, "Did you bring the money?" 11. When you ask me what I am doing today, and I say "nothing," it does not mean I am free. It means I am doing nothing. 12. I finally got eight hours of sleep. It took me three days, but whatever. 13. I run like the winded. 14. I hate when a couple argues in public, and I missed the beginning and don't know whose side I'm on. 15. When someone asks what I did over the weekend, I squint and ask, "Why, what did you hear?" 16. When you do squats, are your knees supposed to sound like a goat chewing on an aluminum can stuffed with celery? 17. I don't mean to interrupt people. I just randomly remember things and get really excited. 18. When I ask for directions, please don't use words like "east." 19. Don't bother walking a mile in my shoes. That would be boring. Spend 30 seconds in my head. That'll freak you right out. 20. Sometimes, someone unexpected comes into your life out of nowhere, makes your heart race, and changes you forever. We call those people cops. 21. My luck is like a bald guy who just won a comb."

  30. Hi, I’ve just received my brand new SA-H22 and I am a bit gobsmacked by the iron sight. The rear iron sight is a metal ring with 4 holes or different sizes. You can rotate them and they click in place. The only problem is with WHERE they click in place I can see that there are two screws which are probably used for adjusting windage and elevation but I can’t imaging you will be able to adjust it but that much. I haven’t found anything on the internet on how to adjust these sights. Has anyone got a link? One other thing I am having problems with is my battery. I got a crane stock battery but it won’t fit in the stock. It seems the H416 stock can only take very small batteries (the diameter is about 1.8 cm and the battery i have is 2 cm wide).
