https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/23863-tokyo-marui-v10-ultra-compact £140 for a well-used V10 Ultra Compact with 1 mag and no box... or under £20 more for a brand new one ?

https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/gas-powered_1/kj-baby-glock-26_i50042 £80 for a used KJW with one trashy-painted magazine ?

https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/electric-powered/gg-preditor-high-speed-build_i48895 I believe the AFUK term is "wanker gun" ? 45+ rps "in its prime" (supposedly "was/still is" capable of that no mention whatsoever of measured FPS or J "£20 max fix" to get it working ? it just "needs some love" ? And the crème de la crème... TIL as soon as you stop playing airsoft, you lose not only any repair skill you had, but also lose the ability to get anyone else to do repairs for you. Who knew?! ?

Sounds like you're painting a target on your own back ???

??? Still keeps that BS on his "Andy Page" Used-Airsoft ads, though

Another pie-in-the-sky dreamer post from @avenger63... https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/gas-powered_1/brand-new-tokyo-marui-colt-government-1911-mk-iv-series-70-nickel_i48872 [citation needed] ? So... £160 collected (£170 posted) from Mr. "no warranties, refunds or returns" / "only accept PayPal friends or bank transfer due to scammers removing parts etc" ... ... or £165 brand new with warranty, ability to return/refund if needed/wanted, and solid service from a reputable retailer who has plenty in stock ?

It's another equivalent of @avenger63's "I’m not a retailer so no warrantees, refunds or returns" thing -- basically trying to claim that if it's posted, it's at. the buyer's risk (and their problem) if it gets lost or damaged during shipping. Unfortunately that kind of person erroneously says this when *they're* the ones posting it -- so the contract is to deliver is between them and RM/Parcelforce/courier -- meaning the buyer often can't do anything, and it's up to the seller to claim for any lost/damaged parcels, and the liability remains solely with the seller. Is that lanyard... cable-tied on?! They've not even cut down the tail on the cable tie... ?‍♀️? Maybe that's where there £200 comes in -- a totally custom, unique, one-off lanyard attachment system... ?

Indeed - while 1.17J is 300 FPS on a 0.28g g BB, with 0.2 g BB's it's just shy of 355 FPS.

I wouldn't worry -- just because someone doesn't communicate well on social media, doesn't necessarily mean the site is badly-run. For example, I know some sites where regular players / marshals answer the Facebook messages, as they're on Facebook a lot more than the site owners/operators. A quick search brings up their Facebook page, which lists thesiegeproject.com as their website. https://www.thesiegeproject.com/info says: Not every site has an amazing site or social media team -- it's not unusual to find sites or links out of date, or pages not having the most up-to-date info -- they're focussing more on playing and running the site than anything else, and tbh some folk just don't "get" how important accurate online info can be, especially for prospective/new players. Hope that helps ?

Yup, pretty mediocre for a pink one like that. Has the basic form, but none of the detail. Still, at ~£100, there's much less worry about dropping or scratching it You'd be better Cerakoting a Detonics .45 or something.

Ricochets counting depend site-to-site, likewise how knife-kills are handled -- but giving them a chance to surrender aside, it's generally higher back/shoulder area, and the knife generally has to be a rubber one that can be bent 90º -- no stabbing folk in the delicate or squishy bits

How hard is it to make even semi-relevant comments, even "that's a nice gun" in the "what've you bought recently" thread, or just general replies in countless off-topic posts? I mean, come on ? (Bots: don't get any ideas ?)

Most places are "profit-oriented" ... that's called capitalism. Even if other places appear to place more focus on customer satisfaction, at the end of the day they literally wouldn't exist without making profits.

Conversely, I've seen Specsavers damage folks' eyes by saying they could sleep in contact lenses that weren't suitable for continuous wear -- and that while Vision Express may be pricier in some cases, the customer service is a lot better. Depends then "the past" is, but on the basis of NHS eye tests generally being every 2 years, everything is quite a bit more expensive now. ? The issue with NHS vouchers is they basically cover standard lenses and the eye test, nothing more -- so while opticians will have a selection of "free" frames with the voucher, or ones that are x amount cheaper with it, it's not always a massive saving -- as they obviously can't claim it all back.
