Chill Phil 😁 If you'd taken maybe a day or two to surf the forum, you'd have got a feel for the place, it's actually fairly laid back & very community minded, but this thread, while mostly light-hearted is intended to hilight overpriced kit, hopefully to stop people getting suckered . I appreciate you've been "out of the game" for a while, personally I see kit for sale & I could weep knowing how much I paid originally, but that's the way the market has gone, in much the way that some kit that would have sold within hours, now hangs about for weeks or months, usually experiencing multiple bumps & price drops.

Just another example of someone joining the forum with the immediate sole purpose of trying to flog their overpriced shit. I hated it many years ago when I joined Arnie's, only to find I couldn't access the classifieds until I'd hit a certain amount of posts, but it doesn't seem so silly now, given the number of chancers we get joining, ffs it's not even the school holidays lol.

Damn right, only time it might be deemed acceptable would be to separate players during fisticuffs, even then with measured appropriate restraint, they are paying customers after all.

That is fuckin mental 😲

This "argument" has been going on for years, the usual consensus being that unless your the retailer, & probably the first to handle the item from the manufacturer or their approved agent, then the item is secondhand, irrespective if whether it's had a BB through it, & as secondhand the price should reflect that. In fact it's even more relevant on the item we've been discussing, what if it's a lemon straight outta the box, only the first owner, who's now selling it on, has any warranty claim against this, the next owner can go whistle. The post about the default setting for items being "used" is very valid, DO IT NOW.

While I never believed a word of Seth's BS from the moment he joined & haven't followed the goings on at "his" site, did think it odd his recent absence. Thanks for putting us all in the picture, seems he was the Walt that most of us suspected .

Ha, you won't be saying that when I 360 no-scope you 😜

It'd be less fair if the first few games were spoilt for everyone by stalemates due to players abusing full auto. End of the day even semi only is credible, nothing to stop players spamming the trigger & even the most basic AEG can manage 4 shots a second on semi, so it's no hardship .

Clearly all cheap/fake tingtong knockoffs 😜 (I'm well jell really👍)

27st down to 18st, jeez, well done mate, I'm sure it wasn't just Airsoft that helped you lose it, but it's a great incentive when your trying to find kit that fits, & not pay an arm & a leg for it. 👍

Looks like it's gonna be a AFUK get together then ?, I'll give it another go (which I said I never would lol), we'll have to work out a date in the new year 👍

That would definitely work, good thinking 👍

The night game option sounds reasonable. While the location your refering to may have services until midnight, that won't cover all connecting areas, many parts of Kent are almost inaccessible after 8pm, not without a lot of aggro .

He's not joking, this was him at his last gameday 😜

Bunker 51 has a captive audience in a very large heavily populated catchment area, & is supported by an immense public transport system.........you could literally run games there at midnight & people would have no problems attending, I doubt the same could be said of ANY towns in Kent, personally I wouldn't travel for an hour or more for just four hours of gameplay at £30, no matter how short your briefing or how fast the turnaround between games. I realise your overheads so far have been astronomical, but your not going to recoup them with your only real selling point being "it's cqb innit". IMHO, maybe it's just me ?

That's why Jokers like him advertise on the slightly more obscure sites, & not places like AFUK, they know they're taking the piss & will get outed for it, even zin won't let you " question" members prices, quickly deleting posts if you do 😡

This is why I avoid certain sites in the winter, slipping & sliding all over the place equals injuries that then affect the weekday workdays.

By "impressive", do you mean a faster rate of fire ?

For the money that's awesome, end of the day if it shoots straight & is an ok FPS, 280+ish, then it's doing what many sometimes struggle to do at 3 times the price, early tavors were notorious for problems, mine included ☹️

Nobody's obviously told you that when you get to 99, change hands 😜. Only kidding, shame no one's made a gas Spas, that would be cool .
