    Nope I'm exactly the same bud.

     

    This forum has a great community, and I have the good fortune of only receiving a great experience from either buying or selling to members here.

     

    That reminds me I need to start selling some stuff that I've amassed over the years... I'm just waiting to unlock a life time achievement and making the Mack's cut... 🤪

    Call me cynical, but when buying gats s/h I've stayed away from the likes of prefired etc, much preferring the forums such as this one, feedback systems, trading history etc all seems reassuring easy compared to pure selling sites, even the fact that if you have ANY concerns it's piss easy to contact other members who they've dealt with to get the skinny on them.

    am I the only one that sees it this way ?

     

    I'm with you on this too... forums such as this or Z1 and Arnies (not so much these days) are the only ones I know/use.. Trust the community (well most anyway)...

    I am genuinely gob smacked at that.... I mean no offense but £800 for a cyma should make alarm bells start ringing across the nation.... 😂😂😂

     

    You mean you didn't see the bit about it being "FULLY UPGRADED😆 (sorry I had to shout that out loudly) lol

    To be fair with the sheer amount of stuff you get with that gun, I'd probably be happy to buy it for £350.

     

    I'd spend an afternoon with some rubbing alcohol and a tooth brush, and take it back to black.

    Sell it again for £350 with just gun, mags and battery.

    Then sell the Red Dot, PEQ, Fore-grip, 2 Stocks, Torch and Grenade launcher separately.

     

    You'd probably come away £100-£120 up.

     

    You can actually use rubbing alcohol to take the paint off? I never thought of doing that! Will it not affect the original paintwork or the plastic grip or the plastic stock?

  6. After watching the Will Smith Aladdin movie last night on Disney, I got my TM Gen 3 out and started to rub it in a manner in which it shouldn't be rubbed in the hope that it would turn into a Gen 4. Believe you me when I say this, one a moment it did... but then I could have just imagined it  due to the fact my hands were getting a tad hot... You just can't make this sh#t up can you lol...

    Wasn't there some advert a few years ago about some man's fragrance which went along the lines of:-

     

    'Real Men wear Pink'? ...... 

     

    No, nope, Nein, Nada, Never lol

    There is so much wrong with this “quote” I don’t know where to start 🤦‍♂️

     

    It's simply a language thing ain't it? Innit? We can forgive Skara right guv?

    Almost identical to new pricing.

    £550 for the gun new

    £25 each for the mags

    Tenner each for both battery and bb's.

     

    = £645/£650 is brand new for the same kit.

     

    I'd reckon £500 with wiggle room for knocking the usual 10% off an asking price.

     

    I'd expect to be able to take this home for around £450ish

     

     

     

    £450 would still be too much... if you go on the so called 60% rule for 2nd hand kit.... you can argue that it's 'newish' and so a seller will want close to rrp as possible but its still 2nd hand... I'd be looking to pay around £390 for that bundle....  but in all honesty I'd only want the gun itself so £330-£350 based on 60% of the new value..
