    Afaik isnt it -1 reputation? I cant say i've ever paid that much attention to how that whole thing works.
  2. Adolf Hamster
    probably because this thread works both ways, if something isn't overpriced (like our very recent case in point) then it doesn't get crucified.
  3. Adolf Hamster
    waaait a second, is this a mack's first where a seller is annoyed at being called up and everyone else agrees with them?
  4. Adolf Hamster
    figured it'd be worth adding to the pile of glowing reviews. ordered a few bits and bobs over the years from ak2m4 thanks to this site's recommendations and as with everyone else always had good fast delivery. last order i had a rocket motor with a bit of an issue ended up contacting pete who sent a pre-paid postage label to return and swapped out the motor for a new one. on top of that he's been very communicative and helpful about the build from a technical standpoint. all i can say is that's about the best customer service you could wish for which is a rare commodity in the airsoft world.

    Everythings different yet the same.

     

    Its weird.....

    The issue your fighting is this: https://www.taiwangun.com/en/electric/cm-028c-cyma Same gun, brand new, and without 2-tone if you have your ukara for £35 less than your asking price (from last i checked just before writing). The general (although not exclusive) rule of thumb is ~60% of retail for a secondhand item. This thread for sure is a strange way of evaluating the classifieds, but it can work well if you take it in the spirit of the same kind of banter youd find in your average airsoft safe zone. You are of course free to ask whatever price you like, and you may be able to sell just fine, but at least now you know what you're competing with.

    I'd question, without further information at least, the quality of a shimming job when a "lightly skirmished" 2-tone suggests an inexperienced owner. Maybe he had a tech, or a more experienced mate do it, but it's not explicitly stated.

    hmmm, think i'm changing my opinion on lct....

      their reputation was certainly good.

       

      i mean maybe i've got a friday afternooner on the gearbox but the rest of the elements are still not ideal.

       

      maybe nuprol's ownership and getting them to make guns for them has had an impact.

      I've heard enough about lemons from both sides to be fair, only ever purchased/used LCTs but had a go with E&Ls and they've both been great. I think the best bet is to lean to whatevers cheapest and that tends to be E&L now that Nuprol have price hiked the LCTs, fire support is no longer my go to for 'premium' AK shopping like it has been 😐

       

      Can't you just unscrew the hop and push it forward? I'm pretty sure I can do that with my 74u to get at the gearbox without removing the outer barrel, etc.

      i've done a bit of a review which includes photos of the hop unit issue. at least once i get the photos to load.

    dear airsoft manufacturers

     

    please stop using press-fit pins that require removal for regular maintenance purposes.

    all we need is the seller to come and tell us which one of us is right now don't worry man, we won't tell
  11. Adolf Hamster
    yep i'd wager his subconcious is responsible for the price because it knows he'd regret selling it.
  12. Adolf Hamster
    Looking at the description i dont think he actually wants it to sell
  13. Adolf Hamster
    Thats the low profile version, so you can get nice and low to the ground when sneakin
  14. Adolf Hamster
    or in my case, to load the magazines.....
  15. Adolf Hamster
    how you finding the npo mags feed?
  16. Adolf Hamster
    lemme sense timeline of events: new player, super excited wants a sniper like all the youtubers buys l96 fires it a bit in his garden, realises airsoft sniping is an acquired pursuit and here we are.

    so here we have a WE F226, not much fancy internally she's just had a new hop unit fitted (original broke the arm) which has a WE USA "tightbore" barrel, i'll include the original barrel and hop bits as well. externally the slide has been sprayed olive because i wasn't a fan of the weird grey they come with out of the box. comes with a nuprol paddle style holster with belt and molle adaptors and 3 leak free mags. price includes postage.

    £75

    Buys gun, gun comes with tube loader

     

    Turns out mags are a pain, you gotta use the tube

     

    Mods tube to fit standard speedloader

     

    This does not work

     

    So now i have to load rounds singly.

     

    This is the definition of hubris

      @Rogerborg yep that pretty much sums it up perfectly.

       

      i suppose at least my total ammo capacity of 160 rounds isn't that bad to fill up one by one.....

    oh, lol i thought you'd meant the other way round. i mean snapping at a customer is unprofessional but not unforgivable when there's context behind it.
  21. Adolf Hamster
    it does indeed read like he's had a long hard day and getting notifications right before bed was the straw that broke the camels back, however snapping at someone is one thing, following it up is another. i mean if he'd replied the next day and simply said "yeah i'm sorry, been a very rough day that was unprofessional" then that would be fine, but the rest of his reaction is just adding fuel to the fire.
  22. Adolf Hamster
    next day is always better. i generally hold to the standard of expecting folk to check/respond to their emails once per working day so i never expect a reply in any shorter time than 24 hours. if that's how it went down then i must admit i'd find it hard to sympathise with milspec on this, people send messages at all hours, hell how does he know the guy isn't in a different time zone and emailing him at 2pm?
  23. Adolf Hamster
    the last post on the timeline reads like classic pissed off and angry to me. but again hard to tell if that's a position to be sympathetic to without the full story. ahh well, i already got my svd mags from ky anyway.....
  24. Adolf Hamster
    see this is why i dislike not having seen the start of how things all kicked off, i'd rather read the original comments he and the customer had because out of context it's hard to judge if it was the reaction of an arsehole, a joker, or a stressed shop owner losing his mind over yet another difficult customer. seeing things in retrospect/secondhand makes it much harder for me to form my own opinion.
  25. Adolf Hamster
    this is one of the things i hate about the internet is when the original drama thread gets deleted and you missed the party. that's the price i pay for living under a rock i guess
