Tackle

@Frankierafie you've been here nearly 4 years, & your eventual first post is to try to coax members over to your own "platform", I should be deleting this thread & banning you, but this is THE forum for the airsoft community, where, within reason, free speech is allowed & anything potentially positive for airsoft is encouraged. So, unless the head mods decide otherwise, this was your one chance to advertise your existence, I'm locking the thread but members will still be able to view it, read your posts but also the responses & make up their own minds whether your place is worth a look.

I see the word "forum" 😏

What are you ?, sounds like your a forum with "support" from one or more retailers ? This being the case, did you not feel it necessary to ask before posting about your "rival" platform here. Bit of a piss take ?, don't be surprised when this gets taken down.

You hit the nail on the head..........FAD. Looks purty, that's all, no benefits to it.

Maybe it's made from "gold leaf" 😏 (The precious metal, not the tobacco😜)

Well done you👍

Very helpful new member, very informative first post, but probably copy & pasted from somewhere else as he's in Nigeria, not exactly known for its airsoft community 😏 👋

Agree it should always be mentioned, especially if it's a pricey gun, even if it's had a good spray job over the two-tone, at some point somethings likely to rub, such as a holster, & the offending neon's gonna peek through🤮

Images yeah, can be an issue without context, although the video footage where you actually see him sliding it in to his trackies, kinda speaks for itself lol🤣

The fear is real 😱

Completely unnecessary Gav, you did nothing wrong, in fact you prefaced your initial comment by admitting that you may have got it wrong in assuming, but were going to do it anyway due to a lack of info & context, & then continued to give good advice. BUT Big of you to attempt to defuse the situation AND give further good advice. 👍

AEG's rock, but for true realism you've gotta have a length of pipe running from your gun to a bloody great scuba tank on yer back 🤿............. I'll get me coat😜

OR WHAT ? As has been pointed out, you could have introduced yourself, given more info & context, instead of asking about "super realistic".......why ?, planning a bank job ?, fancy suicide by cop ? They're generally all realistic, especially as 99.9% of the population of the UK have never been anywhere near a real AR platform. Everyone here, even butcher bills post that caused you to spit your dummy out, have given you sound knowledgeable advice, wind your neck in & take it in the spirit it's been given.

Welcome, are you based in that area ?

Looking at the state of him, & the size of that coat, he's probably a seasoned shoplifter feeding a drug dependency, the vector was probably the most expensive gnu on the wall, leading him to believe he'll get the best return on it, or maybe he'd been asked to steal it to order ? Either way I can't see it filtering through to the mainstream sales for a while.

No problem, FYI the seller has replied to me via email, says it was collected on Wednesday afternoon so should be with you soon. He also said he'll be in touch, so hopefully all be sorted on monday-ish ?. Sometimes the pick up times, if they're in the pm, can add an extra day to getting in to the system.

I've emailed him, if you've had no response or update on the tracking by Wednesday pm I'd consider initiating a paypal dispute. If you do open a dispute, be aware that if you then cancel it you can't then start another one for the same transaction, so you never stop it unless you receive the item, or a full refund, irrespective of what excuses a seller gives you.

He's not been on since Wednesday, could just be pressures of work etc, I'll give him a nudge via email. Out of interest, did he specifically ask for PayPal f&f or bank transfer ?

Someone must know the scrote. not the best picture, definitely got a face like a rodent though.
