They might go as low as what OP told his wife they originally cost.
 
That is some lovely stuff though, sorry to hear you're passing them on, but they'll bring joy to someone else.

Hey guys,
 
After over 25 years I have decided to stop playing airsoft. I have already sold half of my guns recently and now I want to sell the remaining ones.

I was wondering if  you know  anyone that could be interested in a bulk buy and how much I could sell it for. 

There too much to list and say. All the electric guns and pistols have been upgraded and serviced by Kingdom of Airsoft.
All guns come with spare parts and accessories. All the HPA mags come with spares to revert to gas. 

Quick sample: 
Tokyo M, HC MP5 with rhop, gate programmable mosfet, tight-bore 2 extra stocks,   3 extra handguards multiple mags including drums. Converted to Lipo. Swordfish kit and rail. Honeybadger with programmable unit, R-hop, tight-bore, extended stock compartment. Converted to Lipo. Lots of mags, including MP5 adapter with straight mag Lots of new magpul accessories including mags in OD and FG.  Including Magpul M4 (not working).  kco2 with mag, scope, lots of brand new spare parts including bolt and nozzle, tanuki hpa adapter, tnt barrel and hop. Cerakoted in OD mp5K with   with extra metal rail, plastic top rail suppressor, rhop , converted to Lipo. Mike Cripps Kimber sys (monster gun) with wood and polymer handguards.  3 mags plus extended one. Marui's Glocks. G17 custom (with upgrades) and G23, plenty of mags DCI sights, rails, spare parts etc. Marui Breacher with rails and mag holder, 7 shells and two mags one converted for hpa.   lots of spare parts, including tools and upgrad parts not installed.   Two glock aep. Marui in cerakote OD with upgrades and lipo mod. DCI sights. Lots of short and long mags. ASG aep stock with lipo adapter. Two Marui's flashlights usable   as external batteries ( with brand new batteries installed) spare bulb, chargers and adapters. mac11 hard kick with lots of spare parts, 3d printed rail, 8 mags one brand new in box, some are converted to HPA (but can be reverted to gas, spare parts included)    23 and 13 hpa bottles, lines and regulator 2 refilling stations  Lots of spare parts, magazines and accessories, silencers, marui pro sight. 

Possibly not what you're after but if you want to sell the lot in one go action hobbies seem to do a lot of bulk buys. They are in Milton Keynes too so not too far from you: https://www.actionhobbies.co.uk/used-kit-buying-and-recycling/
 
I dread to think how much you'd be losing selling to a retailer though. There are some lovely RIFs in your collection. 

Sorry to hear your packing up mate😕

Well chaps, if the new law covers the point of sale then under most circumstances they won't be able to make those old sales illegal and ask for our stuff back. Cleverly avoiding Ex post facto law is a pillar of modern legal systems but is also the reason why you can still buy 'pre-ban' automatic firearms in the US (if you have the money). Having said that, they could easily make gun ownership illegal in some other way by simply banning their transportation or use etc.

If this comes into action and it covers the ownership (again, not the sale) then the UK (and the rest of Europe) would be looking at a huge amnesty that's bigger than anything that's ever been done before. We're talking far, far bigger than Australia or Britain's voluntary gun surrenders and that's going to cost an absolute sh*tload of money and oversight. They are going to need to be super committed to do this on such a scale.

It's far more likely that - if this were to pass at all - that it would cover the sale of goods and not ownership.

I guess what I'm saying is use all of your Christmas money to horde guns like an American hordes ammunition whenever someone shoots up a school.

Hi guys,
 
an update from the European Airsoft Association
 
Airsoft players of Europe - this is it! This is the big push, this is where you can save airsoft in Europe or let it be crushed. As you probably already know, the EC has presented a proposal to amend the firearms directive. There's some really heavy handed stuff in the proposal, but the worst for airsofters is that they want ALL REPLICAS to be classed as firearms. This is going to make most airsoft replicas prohibited, make the few remaining ones licensed, and this will kill airsoft. This is how we fight it:
TASK 1: SEND LETTERS NOW! On the link below is a pre prepared letter which you can copy and send to your MEPs. Search on-line, find your MEPs email addresses, copy and paste this letter (and modify it however you like).
TASK 2: SHARE THE HELL OUT OF THE PAGE! Make sure your friends, everyone you play with and interact with knows about this draft letter, let the shops know, the sites, the forums, everyone! Too many people are in the dark about this sudden and huge problem.
TASK 3: TRANSLATE! We've started with the English version but within a week I would like to see the post available in all of the 23 recognised languages of Europe. If the letter is not available on the page in your language, translate it and email the translation to us ASAP [email protected] and we’ll add it to the site.
It would really help if you posted the replies you receive on this page https://www.facebook.com/groups/455851477935788/ or email them to [email protected] so we can see how things are going and spot supporters in particular committees.
Don’t forget to insert your name, and add your MEPs name. Don’t forget to add your address to the top if you are posting a letter.
Here’s the link to the letter:

Dear INSERT MEP NAME HERE,
As a constituent, I would like to raise my concerns regarding the recent proposal to amend the so called firearms directive. Specifically Proposal COM(2015)750/F1, on Page 17 where it is stated
(13) in Annex I to Directive 91/477/EC part II is amended as follows:
(a) point A is amended as follows:
………
(iii) In Category C, the following points are added:
“5. Alarm and signal weapons, salute and acoustic weapons as well as replicas;”
I am a hobbyist who enjoys ‘airsoft’ events in which opposing teams compete in military and law enforcement scenarios. These events require the use of relatively low powered airsoft replica firearms. These events are a commonplace, well-regulated and physically demanding team activity with many positives for the individual and society. There is also an industry surrounding the airsoft hobby which employs many people. The classification of replicas as category C firearms would destroy my beloved pastime.
If replicas became category C firearms it would mean that manufacturers, retailers and owners of these replicas would be subject to all the obligations of the directive. This disproportionate measure would mean that replicas would become restricted or illegal firearms in most countries due to local laws restricting automatic firearms and limiting magazine capacity. At best, some countries would allow some replicas to be serialised, held on a certificate and registered. Other parts of the proposal would simultaneously make internet sales illegal and ban firearms of military appearance. In essence, the vast majority of airsoft replicas would be banned and the few remaining ones would be heavily restricted or licenced to the point where it would not be worth the hassle of obtaining or owning one. The airsoft hobby would soon cease to exist and the industry would collapse (which would have been highlighted if the normal economic impact assessment had not been bypassed in the case of this proposal). Inevitably, many replicas would remain uncontrolled out of ignorance to the drastic changes, turning the owners into criminals.
The vast majority of replicas are in no way convertible to fire real ammunition. They have the appearance of a firearm on the outside but the type of replicas we use for airsoft do not have any components which would be useable in a firearm. No justification has been presented in the text of the proposal for the inclusion of replicas in the scope of the directive. Member states have not expressed any major problems relating to public order caused by the use of replicas nor have replicas been implicated in terrorist acts.
In fact, after an extensive study in 2010 (COM(2010)404) the European commission itself recommended that “replicas, with their various characteristics and purposes, should not be included in the field of application of Directive 91/477/EC (Firearms Directive), especially as those which can be converted to a firearm and therefore treated as one are now covered by Directive 2008/51/EC.”
I also believe that the category change will be impossible to implement. Most replicas do not have a serial number, and some are children’s toys. Replicas can be produced from almost any material by any person, for example by carving wood into the shape of a gun. I don’t think it would be possible to register and control such a broad category of items. The cost of serialising and registering all replicas would be enormous, as would be the compensation costs for confiscation of the many replicas which would become prohibited. By EU estimates there are hundreds of millions of replicas in Europe. The governments of Germany, Czech Republic and Austria have specifically objected to the reclassification of replicas, and I do not believe that the Police force will find the measure sensible, achievable, enforceable or a good use of resources.
I support sensible controls, such as ensuring that readily convertible replicas, alarm and signal weapons are classed as firearms. I support robust mandates to ensure standardised irreversible deactivation of firearms across the EU. What I don’t support is heavy handed curtailing of law abiding citizens pastimes under the guise of preventing terrorism.
Please seek the amendment of the proposal COM(2015)750/F1 so that replicas will not be classified as firearms by being added to Category C (Firearms subject to declaration) of directive 91/477/EEC.

Yours Sincerely,

Im liking the new releases. I'm 100% grabbing the breacher! I've been wanting the m870 for cqb games but I don't like large stock. I've been trying to think up a way to modify it but with the gas tank in the stock there was no way to achieve such. AND THEN they go mention the breacher! Happy f*cking days!!! Deffo top of the birthday list. I've already squared the money for this with a retailer! It's just a case now of WHEN not if
When the HK417D comes out I will avoid it like the plague. I don't wanna see pics or vids or bump into it at a skirmish because of I do....
... I will end up buying one! It's like shown crack to coke heads. This just ain't fair
