ProPain87 reacted to Esoterick in Round about prices please
£100 for the p226 is sensible provided the mag holds gas, otherwise you might need to price it a bit lower as they are 25-30 quid each. Not sure about the rest

If everything is working , clean , tidy & boxed I’d work on 3/4 of new retail price ( forget any labour for custom work ) but expect a little haggling , if your wanting quicker sales then go 2/3rd from the off .
broken , faulty , missing parts , modified beyond being able to put back to OG , painted etc then expect less .

If it’s working then ~£100 for the P226. Looks like the E2 variant?

Update picture of my striker 😍
changed the cheapo high scope mounts to better quality hawke medium mounts to match the hawke scope, put a bespoke flat trigger in and changed the stock and grip. Firing .43s like a dream. Going to finish setting up the scope this week and get to test it on Saturday
not chrono’d on .43s yet but firing .4s at 2.2j

Disco 3 is awesome. Electrics can be fun, and some of the maintenance is expensive(clutch and rear cam belt). I own 2 disco 3’s and they are definitely the best of both worlds, versatility of the defender, comfort of the Range Rover. Complimentary picture.

@Asomodai - I remembered I owed you photos of the ASG Strike red dot on the PDR-C:
I really like it! Fits the PDR frame really well. Not too bulky at all.
It's a shame the dot refuses to adjust at all. Way off to the left.
Explains why it was a £12 bargain bin dot.

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.

It will be, it’s just a chopped down version. Also, in my opinion, utterly pointless

@Lee_3120Airsoft As others have stated, the purpose of this thread is to highlight adverts which are potentially exploitative or (as the title says) living in the clouds.
If you look back over the last few pages or so there have been various adverts which have received criticism for a variety of reasons but namely due to over ambitious pricing. Just because you paid £120 (example price) for something doesn't mean it retains that value, or even 90% of that value. Quite the contrary, as virtually all goods in airsoft are subject to wear and tear thus increasing depreciation. You also need to factor in manufacturer, model and condition.
In this particular instance you're attempting to sell a HFC pistol, a brand which is far from well regarded and which is firmly in the budget end of the price spectrum due to the product quality and usual pricing. Unfortunately in this particular instance it sounds as though you got caught you by one of the more nefarious retailers in the market and overpaid significantly.
I'd also suggest taking time to consider the advert itself. If you're looking to sell something then right off the bat you need to have high quality pictures which show what you're attempting to sell at its best, something which your current advert completely fails to do. Secondly you need to price the item accordingly, based on the above criteria, should you have uncertainty or doubt about it's value there's always the appraisal section of the forums.
Finally the way you decide to communicate and interact with the community goes along way. As it stands you're new to the community here with no previous seller/buyer feedback and with no post history on this forum, something which will immediately sound alarm bells for most. While it's disappointing to hear that a product you paid for is worth significantly less than you expected you have a few different choices when it comes to the way you react. The most productive reaction would have been to seek advice from the community, there's a staggering wealth of knowledge here and no end of helpful people. Alternatively you could have elected to ignore the post here and leave your advert as is (in the hope someone picked it up) or adjusted your advert accordingly. The last choice was to react in the exact way you did, which was to become defensive and abusive, something which will never garner a positive result.
Where you go from here is up to you but as a first impression on this community it leaves a lot to be desired.

My new genuine peltor comtac XPI's with boom mic arrived! (was an absolute pig to install but I got it done)
They are such good quality, way better sound than the shitty z tactical knock off's (save your money and get real instead)
