https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/electric-powered/jg-sig-550-with-custom-apocalypse-paint-job_i84059 Pricing is meh but don't try and bullshit people. Even Stevie Wonder can see that "custom" paintjob is a roundabout way of you trying to conceal it's a green two-tone job.

I agree. I always see it as a red flag. I always assume they're trying to shy away from responsibility if anything is wrong or disclosing if it had been used or modified in a way that would drop its value further. I know one genuine case where the friend was no position to sell his own kit but that was an exception.

The ambiguous "all in" (or allin [sic]) wankery when listing items for sale. We're not playing a game of poker! "All in" has meant one of (but not limited to) several things Final price, inclusive of delivery and Paypal G&S fees. Final price with delivery but they try charging G&S fees Final price including G&S fees but no delivery Final price without G&S fees or delivery When it's a gun, the final price doesn't include the accessories, such as a scope or sling, the gun is pictured with

Yeah, the same parasite who should be old enough to know that you have to show you have a talent or skill to be worthy to get financially compensated. He's had two months since his tomfoolery and still hasn't shown any effort to pay his own way or borrow from friends & family instead of abusing crowdfunding platforms.

No officers found by his name in Wiltshire either.

I don't recall this forum listing or advertising those Whatsapp groups. Perhaps you should refer back to the Discord or FB chats that more than likely listed them?

That leech has come back again but toned down his wording thinking he is any less of a parasite. https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/40195-just-wondering

And it's back. https://prefired.co.uk/ads/aap-01c-custom-build/ I wonder why it didn't sell all that time ago.

It's not just the parts with diminishing returns higher than Danniella Westbrook on Colombian flake that put me off, there's also the hideous colours for the slide and/or grip that look like somebody committed an unholy act on a unicorn.

I couldn't agree more about doing rental first or borrowing from your stepson if possible. Getting a two-tone before waiting to get a UKARA defence is arguably worse in the long term whether you decide you really enjoy it and decide to get another gun or if you decide airsoft is not for you. Two-tone depreciates a lot more than a RIF because it has little demand from those who can buy the latter. Even if you paint over or remove the bright colour from a two-tone (technically illegal but I'm not aware of any prosecutions), it'll still be considered less desirable and fetch less as you try reselling it. As EDcase alluded too, there are too many cases where we've had to tell people the harsh reality that they'll have to eat up a big loss to shift any two-tone guns they're reselling.

Sellers who swap original furniture (stock, grip, handguard, etc) on their gun for third-party then list the gun for sale without the originals but charge based on depreciation of the complete original gun and the new furniture.

That's going on the "what grinds your gears" thread. I've already asked about the handguard. 😅

Is it the semi-auto function or the fact that it's CO2 powered that draws you to it in particular or the looks? If it's only the looks, Golden Eagle does some M870-based tri-shot gas shotguns with a swappable buttstock and the handguard is something you can work with as a lot of the models have M-LOK.

Pointing out the new hammer is helpful as they are known to break but I wonder why the seller thought it was smarter to push some sensationalist tabloid nonsense in the title instead of something useful like "Combat Master" and whether it's the EMG or Jag Precision version or an unlicensed brand using the markings, the latter of which may be to conceal the actual value.

Welcome! Glad to see more people join the (albeit very fun) money pit.

I'd say about £80 for the shotgun bundle. For the Quake 8 bundle, I'd say around £70-80.

Is it not better to get the gun first to confirm the muzzle energy or is this a used gun that has been chrono tested? I assume you're talking about the NGRS version of the M4 CQBR and not the GBBR or are you talking about the buffer spring with a GBBR? What's the context of a "cheaper alternative"? Adjusting your fps or a less expensive gun itself? You don't need to give War and Peace but it really helps when you're more forthcoming and transparent with details.

Oddly enough, it's back to normal for me now.

I don't suppose you tried WGC Shop or SIXmm?

SOCOM Tactical has the Tak Tak clones of the CTR stock.

https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/39939-airsoft-bundle Seller wants £3,500 for a job lot but provides only a single picture and a handful of details.

https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/polarstar-powered_1/m4-hpa-tippman-and-a-double-bell-daracys-dragon_i83182 Seller has a Dracarys but it's in parts and he just posts a a retail listing from his phone instead of a photo of the parts he's selling. Does he not think reassembling the gun gives him a better chance of selling or trading it?
