So I regularly buy and sell on behalf of others, and I am about sell a significant job lot for a guy that is no longer allowed to participate in Airsoft because of his employment rules. He is not allowed to. He is also not allowed to have a traceable social media presence any longer, including sales platforms. However I would appreciate clarity. I always use my PayPal or bank details, I always have control of the items for dispatch and always personally pack and post myself. PayPal doesn’t care who owned the items and any disputes are the responsibility of the selling account holder. my reasoning for explaining “selling on behalf of a mate” are that I often can’t answer all the detailed questions some (particularly from the timewasters that I indulge). But that is no different from selling something second hand that you bought on here and don’t know the true history (only what you were told, and half the time that’s a lot of shite) Can you confirm, that as long as I take responsibility (which comments in feedback show that I do - always) then I can continue to sell for others as an agent.

Valuation Wanted VFC 416 GBBR with 6? Mags - 4 Vmags, 2 stanags Hardly used, excellent condition - like all GBBRs could do with a strip down, clean and lube and I have no doubt would benefit from from a hop rubber and nub upgrade i can add better pictures - but I’m just trying to get a ball park figure - I have been trading for a long time- but don’t deal in much that is GBBR

Best and most consistent.28s I’ve used (I am sad and check my bb weight quite often with 4 dp digital microscales) are BAW brand, come in bags called Baw bags - lol https://www.airsoftworld.net/catalogsearch/result/?q=Baw more recently a couple of top Uk techs, (including Kingdom of Airsoft) who have done some extensive testing have surprisingly recommended Nuprol RZR, having bought a couple of different weights - they are remarkable good clean consistent bbs

Hi, I’m just after a valuation for a new/unused TM Tokyo Marui KSG gas shotgun. Obviously it only has a second hand value - but this is straight from the shop in appearance Any help would be appreciated shotguns/gas stuff is not my area of expertise , lol and I am just about to list this for sale - probably

I have always followed the manufacturers guidance and never the varied opinions of often uninformed airsofters. Quite a few lipo manufacturers recommend fully balance charging lipos straight after use. Charge to 4.2v per cell with no more than .2 variation between cells. Storage charge is for long term storage. Long term is generally more than 3 months between use. I have fully charged batteries that are still holding 4.18/4.19V per cell after 9 moths plus of storage. Remember it is cycles that degrade batteries, so lowering to storage charge after every use, is in effect complete a single storage and doing this regularly will reduce the effective life of the battery maybe by as much as half of its expected life. However I am just another uninformed airsofter in reality, and my opinion is not better than the next mans- so read what they manufacturer says- they probably know best

The pressure required to “detonate” the dyntatec one (left) is very low, no more than a few pounds of pressure, and less than a centimetre of movement in the release pin to pull it out. the other is on the same principal - spring loaded firing pin, it must be missing parts to set - which is why I need to identify it, lol ?

So to answer some of the questions raised, -rest I know that the one on the left is a dynatex scaremonger - I have owned that for years and know exactly how it works. For the benefit of @Tommikkaand his helpful images, they both take 9mm blanks placed in the screw in top (vented section) the left one is set by pulling the plunger outwards and pushing in on the central pin that passes through the plunger to lock the firing pin in the primed position (which has the effect of priming a spring loaded firing pin) the central rod going through the plunger can be very easily pulled out and this action releases the firing pin to fire the blank. fishing line (normally) is then tied to both half’s via the rings, and secured to a fixed point with the line crossing a trail or doorway, contact with the line pulls the in and bang ‼️ grenade kills for all those with whatever blast range your site sets (10m in my case) it’s the one on the right I am interested in identifying, it appears to work on the same principle, but I cannot see how to prime it, if I can identify it I can find out if parts are missing or broken off, such as the plunger shaped priming device. For those asking for different angles there is nothing else to see, it’s a plain blue metallic cylinder- unlike the dynatec scaremonger it does not have a central safety pin hole, it has an almost identical spring loaded firing pin, which I can press down on, but there is no way to lock it in the primed position. any help to identity it is great, PS I’ve searched bird scarers, security trip wires, and many other terms, involving blank firing devices lol, lots of similar things but nothing the same The one on the left is a scaremonger, the one on the right isn’t, it’s the right one I’m interested in

Hi, Can anyone identify the airsoft trip wire mine on the right and explain how they work- or confirm my thoughts that there are parts missing unlike the one on the left there is no plungers to reset the spring on the firing pin and no safety pin hole google has failed me any help appreciated EDIT : PS I know the left one is a dynatex scaremonger

Can someone tell me how to contact a group admin?

Erm autocorrect lol keys/screws

Yup, that was my understanding of a cotter pin - a cylinder with a flat side - they have taken out cotter pins but they will never take our woodruff screws!!

Thanks Ed that’s helpful. cotter Pins is just another name for split pins - same thing (Cotter being the “correct” name I am told by an engineer…?)

Does anyone know the correct size for the pins on a SWAT VTG grenade It’s not very handy to pull it out in the local ironmongers and ask if they have something that fits…

That sounds very possible, the guy actually spent a fair bit of time trying to explain worldwide e-commerce licenses, a lot of which was over my head lol, and he spoke a lot about recent civil actions and prosecutions against eBay (he referred to them as significant “law suits”) that resulted in eBay having to tighten up there compliance management of what he called “unlicensed sales” .

So for those of us that list “Airsoft” items on eBay regularly you may be confused why some listings are removed yet other listings for identical or similar items are allowed to remain. tonight I finally managed to speak with one of their policy team managers, who gave me 40 minutes of his time and actually answered every question asked, without evasion (my previous experience of appealing a removed item, has just been met with evasive answers, and I promise someone from the policy or escalations team will call you back to explain- never happens! ) Some of the answers made a lot of sense , and I thought I’d share the information given. so here goes, and happy to answer any questions or clarify anything I’ve not explained well. Firstly Ebay worldwide are bound by California law, and are only licensed to sell certain items on their platform - it seems odd, but that licence affects their platform worldwide. California law prevents the sale by e-commerce of any articles that can be attached to automatic rifles, or that replicate attachments for automatic rifles (where they chance or enhance their operation). So things like, Stocks, vertical foregrips, hand stops, suppressors. Etc are all regulated. They have an Airsoft policy preventing the sale of Airsoft guns, receivers, and this includes BB guns and pellets guns. The6 do allow ammunition but interestingly only up to 0.25 calibre is the term they used. The adviser was unsure what that meant but he assumed it was BB WEIGHT., it’s more likely to be air-pellet calibre (I would guess) The next thing of interest is how they deal with an unauthorised item. They often flag breaches of the firearms policy as breaches of the airsoft policy if Airsoft is specifically mentioned in the advert. They do that actually to help us UK (specifically UK) airsofters out. Because….3 firearms policy strikes and your account is suspended/removed from the platform if you’re in the US. So the penalties for breaching Airsoft policy are much less serious - they amount to a “education warning” Your account is then flagged and monitored for attempts to relist the item. They removed over 1750 Airsoft suppressor listings (as an example, that’s what I had removed) in the last 28 days. They had no reason to believe any of them were real, they simply are just not allowed by California E commerce laws. Which they claim they are working to change with a category amendment to the trading licence through the courts - however Airsoft is flagged as a tiny niche market for them and it’s not a priority. Finally how are your dodgy items detected, - some but actually very few are by keyword, and image algorithms that have them flagged and checked manually. mostly they are checked by batch sampling on item numbers (an invigilator or verifier will be sent 500 items to check every few days) and they are flagged if it’s not right, then removed. He provided a lot more information about the processes and the legal reasons behind the issue, and why they can’t easily change rules from country to country - but the post is already to long and quite boring for most. this will be useful to ebayers who don’t understand why their items are removed when they don’t appear to breach the stated policy.
