    Of course people are free to ask for whatever they like. The dreamers thread is more of a guide to buyers and sellers, while having a bit of fun with it a long the way. I can't speak for everyone but whenever I price the stuff I'm selling, I of course go in a certain amount under new retail, however with me there is always the question of "do I definitely want to sell this?" As such if I were to list it at a bargain price 1) You're still going to get the Wheeler Dealer wannabe asking for X amount off 2) If it sells within in a couple of hours, you're going to wonder if you could have gotten more. So yeah if it's not selling and I'm still fairly certain I want to move it on, I'll just drop the price by £10-15 here and there. I've never been pulling my hair out, desperate to sell. From a buyers perspective, all I can say is the only negative feedback I've ever received on here, was when I decided not to sell to someone 😬

    Just in case you didn't know, the Secret Service rely on Elite Force Airsoft guns to protect the President😉

      Z Nation is my guilty zombie pleasure.  Completely daft, increasingly silly, but they always tried for something fresh.

       

      Missy Pyle in the "RoZwell" episode about Area 51 zombie aliens (played by Doug Jones!)  was sheer joy.

       

      And then it gave us Black Summer which was almost the exact opposite, super intense and serious, it actually put the horror back into survival.

       

      I can forgive it a lot, even Elite Force.

      @Rogerborg - I'm surprised anyone else has really heard of it, let alone watched it. Definitely some interesting concepts in with the silliness too. I can't recall another film or series which had a character become a zombie whisperer.

      Although as I said to my friend, you know a series has "jumped the shark" when Henry Rollins shows up. It was the same with Sons of Anarchy!

      @Rogerborg Is Black Summer worth sticking with?  I tried it and managed to get a couple episodes into season 1 but I found it to be pretty terrible.

  3. Cr0-Magnon
    Surely these are real steel sized? The WE Glocks aren't.
  4. Cr0-Magnon
    It's not a new concept, so the idea itself isn't that appealing. However if you were to create one with attractive parameters, then I'm sure a few on here would drop the cash on an impulse - airsofters always enjoy a bit of that action 😄

    Funnily enough, they do distinguish between the two with different coloured tape at chrono.

    This came up at my local when a guy turned up with a stock TM VSR. He assumed as it only shot 300fps, there wouldn’t be a MED but other players kept complaining about the sniper who was shooting from 20 metres away. So they’ve changed the rules and it’s now a case of “if it looks like a sniper rifle or DMR, you’ve got a 30 metre med”……which of course opens up a whole new can of worms.
  7. Cr0-Magnon
    Which area is it lacking in or are you just bored and want to spend some money on it for the sake of it?
  8. Cr0-Magnon
    Unless they've changed the dimensions since I had my G23 with this holster, then yes it'll fit like a glove.
  9. Cr0-Magnon
    It's essentially a select fire G19, so something like this would be what I'd go for: https://nuprol.com/np-eu-series-holster.html Edit: Nevermind, just seen you wanted a specific pattern!

    Ahh don't, I'm getting flashbacks of Valentines Day when I was a teenager!

    When the most recent RE TM Desert Eagle was released a few years back (2018?), people were tripping over themselves to pay £450+ for it. Then proudly declaring "I'm not even going to break the cellophane, that way it's an investment" Have you ever seen one of those full steel kit $2000+ Airsoft guns you can find often out of stock on Asian Airsoft sites, so I guess somebody must be paying that for them. I remember shaking my head at the Robin Hood Tactical Desert Eagle kit which was just a metal (I would assume steel), body kit for a TM DE and sold out fast at £850.

    I'm confused. It was Ewoks in the bushes, not Wookies.

    "Just because you wasted three mags on me, doesn't mean you hit me"

     

    From a recent Dutch the Hooligan video and a line I'm going to have to start using!

      @Steveocee - I genuinely wish that was the case but doesn't seem like people are much interested in that. The airsoft videos which seem to pull the biggest numbers on youtube, are drama in a game and those which spend thousands on mystery boxes.

       

      Case in point, this video:

      4.2 million views of a small kid getting hurt and likely never wanting to ever play our sport again. This disappoints me on so many levels.

    I do this sometimes but nothing to do with the Missus. I'm fortunate enough to have the disposable income to buy toys and still have plenty left over to pay for more important things. I just don't particularly enjoy having guns which won't be in my top three to skirmish. So I will list something and if it doesn't sell for what I would be happy with, so be it. I've never been desperate to move something on. More like just so I can justify (to myself) buying something new. Actually typing that in full has brought me to a moment of great realisation....why am I trapped in this loop!? I already have plenty of guns and need to stop looking out of boredom, chasing the thrill of a delivery...thanks you've been a massive help! Oh you mean the type of Airsoft gun that's "bought as an investment" because in five years it'll be worth thousands 😬
  15. Cr0-Magnon
    Not my fault, haha. Fortunately despite this gun not turning up, I do still have some belongings
  16. Cr0-Magnon
    If we're just talking for this part, the shipping is £5 and I can't see them slapping those other charges on but guess there's always going to be some degree of risk, as I've obviously found out.
  17. Cr0-Magnon
    @Rogerborg - Obviously not a RIF and I will say I like dealing with firesupport, their prices are usually good too but things like this make it difficult not to order from abroad..
  18. Cr0-Magnon
    This thread is really making me want to keep my 4.3 and put all these bits on it but £170 for a frame and £200 for a grip! 😮 I've also just picked up a Gold Match and very tempted to send it to Mike Cripps, so he can fit a black AM Limcat slide with Gold enameling etc. How much would that negatively impact the cooldown side of things though?
  19. Cr0-Magnon
    Yikes. I think I'm just going to stop ordering anything remotely RIF like from abroad. Yes you can potentially save 10% or so if you're fortunate enough it doesn't get pulled for inspection but I'd rather just have it quickly and with an easier avenue or resolution if something goes wrong.
  20. Cr0-Magnon
    Final update on this one. I work in logistics, so constantly solving problems for other people. Which means I seem to have very little time or inclination to sort my own out, when stuff like this occurs. So I didn't follow up with BF but quickly raised a PayPal dispute and today I've received a full refund, as the seller didn't even respond to the case.
  21. Cr0-Magnon
    Please don't get a two-toned £450 GBBR for your first gun. Although actually yeah get one, it'd make a great bargain for someone here when you list it for sale after 30 minutes of use!
  22. Cr0-Magnon
    Just as a pointer, threads are often more effective when the original poster poses a question. Although this subject has been done to death, so in this case the search function is your friend.
  23. Cr0-Magnon
    Site rules are often specific to them. My local allows shotguns when they say "semi only" but again, best to check before you attend. However yes, unless it's over 350fps they should allow you to have a gun which is capable of full-auto and you just don't use it in those situations. Although thinking about it, have any UK sites announced a particular stance on the The G&G SSG-1??
  24. Cr0-Magnon
    This is not strictly true. You don't need to turn up to site with a two tone gun as no one is going to check your defence. It's on the person selling the RIF to you to check UKARA or other defence. Also power limits vary from site to site but are generally 350fps/1.14 joule for anything capable of full-auto. Providing it's a 6mm airsoft gun and within the sites stated limits, I'm not aware of anything which is actually banned. Maybe another forum member is though?

    Yeah I should quantify that when I say reliable I mean I can count on it while the mags are able to create a seal. They only seem to fail between games, so far so good on the field. I have bought six CO2 mags for it and at least two pissed gas immediately.
