Ltd. Not really my concern but can find out if I need to. That is the accounting department's issue.

Ahem

Lol damn straight I am. You haven't reasoned at all just tried to claim your right. Look at it my way do you know how many charity repairs I have done in the last few years that some so called techs charged for and fucked up? Doubt it because I have no clue all I know is it is too many. But I have a heart and hate making money off some poor sap who has been taken advantage of so will still end up doing it again. Anybody who can't even slap together a basic build and then calls themselves a tech and charges people money is frankly a cheeky fucker and a scammer. You talked bollocks and added a labour charge so you fit that bill as far as I am concerned. Can't be arsed pushing the point anymore but if I see anything like that ad again I will slap it down.

@Jaylordofwaargh is right used is used. But it doesn't perform exceptionally well though does it because you messed with it and couldn't get it right which is shocking you being a "professional tech" and all. What advert should say is: G&G TR14 used and abused. I took an average gun and diy teched it until it was worse. Fitted a basic Titan mosfet that will only cost you £45 to use properly. Put in a bunch of upgrade parts some of which are notoriously fragile but I have supplied the originals for a real tech to fit when it breaks. So please give me more money than standard gun costs so you can have the enjoyment of this badly built piece of crap costing you more money and maybe ending in a youtube tech vid titled "look what some ham fisted monkey did to this poor gun." Postage and paypal fees included.

Sorry but when you advertise something as professionally built then the person buying would expect some level of expertise. The fact you need no qualifications to be a tech is an issue I think needs solving as there are too many rogue so called techs ruining people stuff. I can only base my opinion on what you have shown and that G&G is not good an that noveske which you think is good sounds a bit off on semi. Based on that you shouldn't be let you near anybody's gun let alone get paid for it. That G&G is as simple as it gets and yet you broke connections spent ages setting motor height and knackered the original piston. I would never advertise as professional or call myself a tech when selling and my work is far better than yours. I have no issue with your price or you playing with your toys but drop the professional and tech bit. Edit: All the fact you have made money off it proves is that airsofters regularly have no clue and that you are quite happy to blag people.

@Rogerborg why the unhappy faces as I was totally right. The gun he was trying to sell as professionally built as he claims to be a tech sounded awful and the one he posted up as good sounds no better than a stock G&G or Specna. It scares me to think people might actually pay him and then some poor sod has to take it to a more responsible tech to sort it after, which costs even more.

No just believe if someone is going to call themselves a tech they should no the difference between good, bad and average builds. Too many people calling themselves airsoft techs when they have no clue or any real background in any form of engineering. Think so called airsoft techs should have a test and qualification to stop all the useless fuckers ruining peoples toy guns.

Nope that noveske is still too whiney.

Just because someone is daft enough to pay you to do something doesn't make you a professional and reading what you wrote and listening to that gun you definitely can't claim tech either. It is not professionally done it is a home d.i.y job that involved you breaking the connections from repeated tests. Tests that if you knew what you were doing you shouldn't need to keep doing. Fitting a Titan when you know what you are doing takes about an hour an a half with a re-shim and service. You spent longer setting the motor height than anybody who knows what they are doing would take to build the whole gun. When I get chance I will post how a good gearbox should sound with a Titan and re-shim and I will even use a split gearbox which are normally whiney little fuckers. Edit: No you can't add labour charges either.

Best one ever, professionally upgraded by someone who isn't a tech? Breaks bits when fitting say he spent hours setting motor height which should only take seconds. All perfect now except for the whine that makes it sound like a double eagle ak. But professionally done ........ erm ok. https://airsoft-forums.uk/classifieds/item/5543-professionally-upgraded-gg-tr4-18-w-gate-titan/#

The evo selector is crap to be fair

Yes mate it's just a shaped to fit torsion spring that sits inside the selector. See 2 minute job.

The boost is the budget motor. The CNC Ultimate is about as good as it gets at the moment and patrolbase have them on sale. Get the the 30k as it the perfect middle ground.

Ares own mid caps are very good, bit more expensive but feed well and will be totally compatible. Make sure they are the 2 part ones like this https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/ares-amoeba-140-round-m4-nylon-magazine-tan

FFS even as a piss take that makes me want to go out and slap a chav to get my balance back.

I know the guy who runs this and there is no way he would ignore you on purpose, not within his nature. @Steveocee is probably right on the I.T error but I will forward a screenshot of this post to him.

That is all fair enough but the price is still way over the top. Labour on that should be 2/3hrs so no more than £120 absolute max. But even so the labour charge is irrelevant as you can't really add that. Cost of base gun and parts is £930ish take 200 straight off that if you don't have the original parts as well. Selling upgraded guns is a pain as you always take a bit of a hit especially now. Fully upgraded 416s and cqbrs with titans/spectres and lots of upgrades can be got for £450-ish at the moment and they are the easiest tm recoils to sell.

Personal choice on the upgrading as some reckon they are the bestest a gun can be out the box. But then some people still believe the earth is flat so talking bollocks (sorry @Spuggy1uk) isn't just an airsoft thing. The part that gets me is when people advertise guns like this they add full value of the base gun and that is wrong. If you buy a £380 gun and then remove 2/3rds of it you end up with a £135 base gun. I always work out the cost of the upgrades then take off the retail of the stock parts and that is how much value you really add. Pull a £30 motor and add a £50 one you add £20 not the full £50.

Labour charges have no bearing on price only parts cost. This build in total is £930ish so £600ish second hand on a good day if he still has all the original parts if not then even less.

£1500 to build? really?

Agreed but doesn't mean that the one site that has it on sale is always checked so valuation is generally done on average retail.

Disagree because it is not like a seller should have to check every site just to find if it is on sale somewhere. What next daily price checks in case something has changed? If you know something is on sale point it out to the seller when making an offer to drop the price but sale prices are not the norm.
