https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/other-equipment/other-equipment_1/airsoft-equipment-accessories-everything-else_i70770 "I don't have the time to list every single individual item" Nor do you have the inclination to show pictures of what you're selling to justify the price or even specify if the quantity of BBs you're selling and if the bottles/bags are complete. A lot of that stuff is worth that much brand new but only if you listed brand names...

I appreciate the seller may have been burned by other people but Christ alive, why project that bitterness on to prospective buyers?

https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/35139-ares-as03 He may have paid more in the past but this rifle has been below £100 for over a year. https://www.bespokeairsoft.co.uk/ares-x-amoeba-as03-sawed-off-striker-sniper-rifle-urban-grey-as03-ug

"I am looking for £2000 for the lot as I need it all gone I am open to offers but please be sensible" How can anyone make a sensible offer when he hasn't bothered to itemise his bundle properly on images you have to squint at? For all we know, £2000 could be a rip off by a few hundred quid.

I hope that bastard gets what's coming to him. Driver Wood has a boot sale tomorrow so it may be worth giving Gareth or anyone playing there tomorrow the heads up for anyone trying to flog it. -
As kindly as I can say this, your enthusiasm for guns isn't a defence. The whole point of UKARA is that regular players get an exemption for retailers to sell them an airsoft RIF for the purpose of their gameplay having realism. The UKARA defence is ultimately a compromise from a time when new legislation threatened to ban the sale of airsoft RIFs in the UK. If you manage to get in touch with UKARA, don't be surprised if they decline your request to side step the rules with short shrift. If you can't prove you've played to satisfy the requirements, particularly as you've openly expressed no intention to play, you shouldn't hold you breath for an exception or a fast track UKARA number because you didn't familiarise yourself with import laws & restrictions. They're unlikely to risk undermining their own position for the sake of one person who doesn't want "something that governmental" to show some credbility on his part as a responsible owner. I reckon you should treat this as an expensive learning experience because I would be surprised if Customs is willing to hold on whatever airsoft gun/replica firearm/prop it was that you ordered for more than 56 days before destroying it.

Welcome to the money pit, Dan!

I'll add my voice to the choir, from personal experience with the CM16 series with the ETU. 11.1v LiPo is definitely the best choice; 7.4v will work but you will notice the difference for the worse.

The platform definitely needs some work. As said, it's painfully reliant on people checking in regularly because the notification system doesn't seem to work consistently. Some people have been forward thinking enough to leave their number to contact them directly. Actually the first part isn't true. I do enquire about bargains and have bought from there as recently as within the last couple of weeks. I just happen to see a lot of questionable pricing that I would rather not see a newbie get mugged off by. 😁

I keep mine in case I decide to sell the guns on.

https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/two-tone-replicas/two-tone-blue-airsoft-m4_i69686 "Hardly used" but also hardly price-competitive when you can get the RIF for the same price. https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/cyma-cm-518-m4-w-custom-muzzle-brake

The price is down to £100 on Prefired now so I assume the seller realises he'll have to take a loss to shift it. https://prefired.co.uk/ads/tti-combat-master-jw3-gbb-pistol/ On a personal note, doing two-tone on a TTI pistol ruins the aesthetic when the graphics are painted over.

Half term regret sale https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/34815-bulldog-m4 "around 4000 BB’s I’m trying to get rid off" Then use them as a deal sweeneter along with the battery, charger, extra mag and broken speedloader, which probably won't fetch a great deal more than a tenner at a used airsoft fair. Yes, you'll have to drop the price way, way below £150. Half that isn't unrealistic.
-
Definitely on half term still https://prefired.co.uk/ads/glock-17-pistol/ The seller is throwing in a "gift" of gas and BBs but he's selling the (two-tone) WE Glock 17 above retail. Make this make sense please.

Welcome!

Half Term's come alright https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/r609-hi-capa_i69443 Reused and recompressed pictures that don't show "barely any wear" because the image quality has been visibly lost. For greater peace of mind, you can get the pistol from retailers for the same price! https://outlawairsoft.com/products/army-armament-r609-hi-capa https://www.bespokeairsoft.co.uk/army-custom-5-1-hi-capa-gas-blowback-pistol-r609-silver

https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/two-tone-replicas/spring-powered_1/gas-powered-shotgun_i68407 I assume it's the DE M63 version of the SPAS-12. He may have bought it at a higher price but he's probably not aware that the 70% rule applies to current pricing. Prices have come down since then as you can get the gun for under £40 brand new. https://www.justbbguns.co.uk/bundle-offer-m63-multi-shot-airsoft-bb-shotgun-set-orange/ Even the bundle JBBG offers is more competitively priced. https://www.justbbguns.co.uk/bundle-offer-m63-multi-shot-airsoft-bb-shotgun-set-orange/

https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/10956672 According to Companies House, they've had numerous orders to be struck off but they've kept getting them put off. I'd guess they're trying to prolong the inevitable forfeiture of their assets with going bust.

https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/34709-mk23-sokom-with-supressor £90 + delivery for a two-tone where not only is the brand new RIF £70 + delivery, he helps us out by saying where he bought it. https://jdairsoft.net/asg-mk23-stealth-assassin Does he want the buyer to cover the cost of the two-tone he paid for but has since been scuffed/partly flaked off? Shop around a little more and you can get the ASG MK 23 for even less. https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/asg-mk23-special-operations-nbb-airsoft-pistol-in-black.html

Definitely another cash grab with the the John Wick franchise and even more disappointing than Double Bell's version that's just a jumped up M4. Especially with the huge magazine, using green gas would surely have been a better way to try and engineer this with a tri-shot setup but I guess the licensing fee took aware from the R&D budget.

The sites can vary in terms of fps (at a given weight of BB) or a joule limit based on the conditions of their liability insurance policy. That ~1.4J/400fps spec is presumably for a DMR setup as it's illegal to have a full-auto capable airsoft gun above 1.3J without a section 5 licence. As Colin said, if you ask them to tune the gun to run at a maximum of 1 joule with a chosen weight of BB and they can oblige you on that, that ought to suit you with the majority of UK sites if you don't want to swap springs.

https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/two-tone-replicas/two-tone-blue-airsoft-m4_i68968 The dream: "I'm doing everyone a favour. I'm knocking off a tenner from my two-tone. It doesn't matter that the brand new RIF is still less expensive."

RIFT Airsoft's partner retailer White Sphere Tactical recently opened its full-time shop - every day except Tuesday - in the Stukeley Meadows Industrial Estate (just off the A141) in Huntingdon after it had previously run "only" with a pop-up shop at RIFT Airsoft's sites on game days. Though I had no problems with gear I'd purchased from them in the past, having a permanent store does offer some peace of mind that you have more days in the week to go back to the shop if something is wrong with it instead of having to wait until the next game day to speak in person. There are somewhat more guns and accessories on display at the shop as you may expect and the shop has a 4-lane range where you can test your kit out. In addition to the WST's shop and range, you can see a sneak peek of RIFT Airsoft's "Blackstone CQB" site under construction, expected to open in November. https://www.whitespheretactical.co.uk/

Deleted and reposted with a further reduction. https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/electric-powered/cm16-preditor_i68742 No mention of the "£400 of upgrades" or that it was done by Bomb Up Airsoft any more, just a "what you see is what you get" without saying if the PEQ box is functional or not or being specific about the trigger.
