  1. Hi guys, this is just a little prod towards my channel that I started a couple of months ago. The camera work will probably hurt your eyes and i'm terrible at speaking but there are a few unboxings and reviews on there of RIFs. I do plan on uploading footage of my local CQB when we're y'know, not all dying. I'm trying to get some decent camera gear together and get a handle on editing as I go, so apologies for the general roughness at the moment! Thanks for looking.
  2. I kinda hope that the reason we still can't order from TG is that they are taking the time to do the VAT registration and rejig the website rather than just putting out the standard 'no under £135 orders' that a lot of the foreign Airsoft dealers have. I must admit, I have spent an awful lot of money on Taiwan gun over the years, but mainly lots of little orders. Regardless, the VAT/duty doesn't really make much difference to the cost of the guns as they charged 23% VAT in Poland anyway, and Airsoft is 20%+3.5% duty as a sports product. I'd like to order a lot of stuff from them at the moment so I'm not too fussed about the 135 limit either way. To those that say it probably isn't worth the hassle, I would suggest for TaiwanGun it very much is. The UK must be a huge portion of their market, everyone I know buys kit from them, often in 500 quid batches. Do you see any other threads about specific foreign retailers regards Brexit? Kinda makes my point. 😂
  3. https://prefired.co.uk/ads/raven-meu-railed-series-1911-gas-blowback-pistol/ Another good one here. Pistol looks to have had next to no use, but he's asking the full new price for a railed Raven 1911 plus the extra mag. The kicker is the £20 postage. This makes it actually 10 quid more expensive than ordering this gun, extra mag and paying postage from even ripoffbas... Er, sorry, Patrolbase brand new. What the actual fuck? 🤷‍♂️
  4. naff painjob, extra mag but boneyard, plus bonus internal damage. All available to you for 22 quid more than it is brand new on Taiwan gun, or a tenner more than it recently cost to have one shipped to my door. Oh, and you are expected to pay postage on top of that, so make that 20 quid more than a brand new one is shipped. I sometimes wonder whether people just get seriously ripped off buying these things new and somehow arrive at the conclusion that regardless of how much they are available from elsewhere they expect within a tenner of what they grossly overpaid for it. A second hand R36 is worth 80 quid in decent condition at best. And that's being kind.
  5. The only hobby MORE expensive than Airsoft.
  6. https://prefired.co.uk/ads/we-glock-g17-gen-5/ Your standard 'Only yeeted about in a field three times' WE Glock Gen 5. With the tenner postage added on, this owner expects to recoup the exact money required to perloin a brand new one from most fine airsoft establishments. That and the backstrap has been swapped for the optional one in the package and mullered on there judging by how it sits. So good luck ever removing it and replacing the frame to fix the elongated pin hole.
  7. Damaged slide TM hi-capa gold match with no extras (well, apart from a threaded outer barrel, which I am amazed they don't come with stock) for the same money as a brand new one. https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/4419-tm-hi-capa-51-gold-match Cracking deal.
  8. Hi there, new member but a long time lurker. I actually signed up here because this for sale ad stirred me to action. I bought one of these brand new recently for 30 quid to see how I got on with it at my local CQB arena in preparation for investing in some good GBB pistols. To be honest it wasn't a bad experience [apart from the gash trigger], got several kills with it and I'm now moving away from AEG rifles and going GBB pistol primary. But fuck me, this is so overpriced I think it might have given me pancreatic cancer. How does anyone believe a god awful cheapy second hand pistol became worth 50 quid because it's supplied with some gas and a tub 'o' cheapy BBs? Minds you, if someone is new to the hobby and takes a look at the classified sections of airsoft forums and sites like Prefired in general, they may believe that having a few BB's and a partially used can of gas means their used airsoft gun is somehow worth more than it was new. Not to mention a couple of leaking gas mags, because everyone knows that leaking gas mags supplied with a gun means that the price jumps by the same amount you would pay for a brand new non leaking gas mag from a retailer per leaking gas mag supplied. Bearing that in mind, I'm going to advertise one of my 20yr old motorcycles for more than it cost new due to it having a full tank of fuel and new brake pads. Absolute fucking deal. You'd be mad not to buy it.
