Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread


He's asking for more than 70% of retail where one of mags is boneyard and justifies the price to himself under that old chestnut of "Used only once".

People are free to buy what they like but buying a mid-range GBBR and having it two-toned is just diabolical. Surely you can play enough to get UKARA to not do something that will devalue your gun so much?

Don't forget all of his stuff is collection only too, he's got quite an arsenal he's selling but it's all two tone...



Granted it's had a bit spent on it but it's been used for at least 1 game day and only 1 mag included it doesn't seem like a great deal, he has reduced the price £100 to £800 since it was first posted.
 
Across all the listings, a few of them say used in multiple skirmishes. Surely they had UKARA or could get it. Have they actually decided to get them two-tone for some reason?

There are so many and they are not cheapy RIFs either lol
 

Given that £35 is the going rate for these used as they can be bought new for £50, £45 is optimistic or £42.50 each when you buy both.
I saw someone in a WhatsApp group trying to sell them for £60 each the other day. I think people are still on the "well, they're hard to find" train. Just glad I already have 10...
 
So, you’re the reason they are hard to find! 😁
Hey, I've been using MWSs for years. You accumulate magazines over that time period!

That said, I'd like 1 more as my current LBE setups can carry 11 m4 mags without any issues (10 in the LBE, 1 in the rifle) 🙃

They were hard to find but of the 4 shops I went to in person since July, 3 of them stocked more than 5.
And yeah. They're not that hard to find now if you do even a little bit of looking, but I think people are still under the (misguided) impression they are hard to find...
 
Double post, because after I posted this, the guy bumped his sales post. Details obviously scrubbed, but... yes... £300 for 6 well-used MWS magazines. I was wrong, it was £50 each.

Aren't they literally £50 new in the UK? Even less if you buy them from Asia...

THE CROWD v. ONE (1) AIM-O SRS 1x38, BLACK
Case No. MD/2026/0065

Before this honourable thread

May it please the court.

The prosecution brings before you a listing offering a used Aim-O SRS 1x38 red dot at £65 including shipping and fees. The defence description in full: "light use".

EXHIBIT A – The listing itself: https://airsoft-forums.uk/classifieds/aim-o-srs-1x38-red-dot-black.8461/

EXHIBIT B – The same optic, brand new, boxed, from AliExpress sellers holding good feedback: £65 delivered. The court will note this is not a comparable price. It is the same price.

EXHIBIT C – The same optic new from an EU retailer at €49.95, presently reduced to €49.19. That is approximately £43.

EXHIBIT D – New units listed on eBay at £57.99, again for an item that has never met a BB.

The prosecution submits that the defendant has achieved something the market rarely permits: an item that has depreciated by precisely nothing. Some months of ownership, some quantity of "light use", and the asset has held one hundred percent of its value.

THE CHARGES

1. Depreciation denial, contrary to all known laws of second hand tat.
2. Offering "light use" as consideration for full new-item money.
3. Charging a premium for the sole privilege of not waiting three weeks for a padded envelope from Shenzhen.

AGGRAVATING FACTORS

The listing's bullet points, offered as selling features, are the manufacturer's spec sheet, freely available to any member of the public with a browser and eleven seconds.

IN MITIGATION

The defence will say shipping and fees are included. The prosecution observes that AliExpress also includes shipping, charges no fees, and throws in a buyer protection window and an item with a functioning warranty, none of which are on offer here.

The prosecution rests. It invites the court to find the price silly, and respectfully suggests the defendant open a new tab before relisting.


(Yes, I'm having a slow Sunday morning, why do you ask? 😂)
