You speak for yourself, I'm like Peter Pan me

Definitely, but if people are going to comment directly on a thread, it needs to be polite, & ideally informative with a retailer link to the item. Unfortunately what some of the older members used to consider "banter", now has serious connotations irl, which of course the snowflakes are all over it.

Hey guys, I've had 3 reports regarding respect & bullying, while I think some members bring it on themselves with their absurd prices, the forum rules are fairly specific about respect & perceived bullying, something that can't be tolerated. There is only one thread where sales threads from anywhere can be discussed, & if needed, the piss ripped out of them, WITHIN REASON, & that thread is here, on Macks. On this occasion I'm not going to issue warnings to anyone, but I will ask you all to familiarise yourselves with the rules, especially the snippets below which seem especially relevant here. I will also speak to the reportee, who needs to be aware there is generally "no smoke without fire", & he's definitely fanning the flames lol. Be nice to other forum users Treat others as you would like to be treated to yourself. There is absolutely no need to be abusive on these forums. If you are then your posts / topics will be edited or deleted, you may be given a warning, you may get your account suspended, and persistent offenders will be banned. Be Constructive If you don't have something constructive to add to a thread then don't post at all. This applies especially in the "Classifieds" section, if you have something to say, PM it to the seller. Comments like "good luck with the sale" or "nice gun" are also not appreciated. Thread bashing/trolling There will be some posts or threads in the forum that you may not like. If you dislike somebody's thread or some of the people participating in the discussion simply don't bother reading or replying to it. Posting/trolling in it with the sole purpose of having it closed (bashing) will not be tolerated.

Lol, probably not the best application of the term ?🤔

Yeah I was going to add, for a regular walk on day , no big deal, but for a dedicated milsim or similar, it should be taken more seriously.

Agree, never touch anyone's kit, but spoofing people, especially with stuff that clearly doesn't look like a grenade, that's just a giggle😜. Rubber chicken anyone 🐔

I'm guessing you mean the elasticated velcro inserts, given the chunkiness of g36 mags you probably want to be looking for a twin 7.62 insert. Something like this maybe ?: https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/8fields-tactical-plate-carrier-double-ar-10-sr25-7-62-magazine-insert

@Arek_ your thread is locked, you need to make a new one in the correct category: https://airsoft-forums.uk/classifieds/category/12-hpa/ & also consider whether putting your phone number in the public domain is wise ?, number redacted for now.

While lacquer is good, anything hard-wearing will be oil/spirit based, plus a spray based lacquer may create more issues due to the propellant gases, all of which might lift or disrupt the artwork. I'd be more inclined to look at a tough exterior matt varnish, & gently apply the first layer with a small roller, or laid on with a brush. But literally one thin coat, any attempt to apply more before the first coat has dried & completely cured will feck it up. Good luck

I think you're all being pussies about them 😜

My understanding of the options: As New = unmarked, stock, no visible signs of use. Used = working but visible signs of wear & tear. Obviously anybody can claim something is brand spanking new, never fired, but as with most things in airsoft, including gameplay, everything is based on trust. & if we can't trust players to take their hits, what hope have we got that they'll be more honest in their financial dealings. So claims of new must be taken with a pinch of salt, only pay what you think something is genuinely worth, & always use a protected payment system. As for what your selling Rob, goes without saying that you're one of the core of members who has exceptional, often rare kit, that is meticulously looked after, so if you say it's as new, then it definitely is.

You're correct, they're not allowed here, in fact anyone who's found to be repeatedly selling new stuff, say purchased cheaply on Aliexpress & then immediately posting it here at a higher price is quickly banned. That's not to say that members can't ask whatever they want for items, or claim they're "new", but they need to be aware that they'll usually be quickly outed on threads such as Macks, or even on their own sales ads in the comments section, as you've pointed out, technically nothing sold here can claim new status if it's not accompanied by a full warranty & all it entails. All we do ask is that if your going to post on someone else's ad, please be polite, be constructive & maybe share a valid link to show their price is overly optimistic. If their response is negative, feel free to rip the 💩 out of them on Macks 🤣.
