Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread
Speedbird_666 replied to Mack's topic in General Discussion
Don't get me wrong, It does look a bit fishy on face value. But I will point out a couple of things - - 1) He is only selling singular Items, many of which have a 'slight' variance on what you would get on a true NIB gun (i.e. some are wired to deans, have got an extra mag(s) included etc.) - 2) There isn't much consistency with the brands he sells, he basically covers every major manufacturer from ICS to TM, with a smorgasbord of others in between. That is relatively unusual for all but the bigger retailers. I think (and I could be wrong) he could buy a fuck-tonne of guns with a large disposable monthly income, and bins off anything he gets bored with/doesn't like fairly quickly. For context: I work for an Investment Bank, where the even the upper-mid-level guys are on six-figure salaries (not me unfortunately). They could drop a grand or two a month on whatever they want, cover their monthly bills and expenses comfortably, and still jet off for two holidays a year. You should see the car park - there must be £50 million quids worth of cars and motorbikes parked in it (again, not me...) Again, I do not know this guy at all, but there could very well be other reasons why someone would sell in this manner. -

Playing devils advocate: what exactly has he done wrong? I mean specific rules he has broken? The mods have already said previously that he has, by and large, operated within the forum rules: To be clear, I've never bought from, communicated with, or met the guy. Post it up in the Appraisals section: https://airsoft-forums.uk/forum/151-appraisals/ -
Whoa, that is cool. I mean I know it wouldn't stack up against modern stuff (although it uses a V3 GB?), but when I saw that on DenTrinity what must be 20+ years ago, i thought it was the coolest thing ever. I would never own a P90 now, but back then I would of had one in a heartbeat. Because I was young and liked watching Stargate.

@ThisKillaDTThere might be a Tippmann M4 owners group on Facebook, might be joining one and running it past them? You can't be the only one that's had this problem.

Am I missing something? Couldn't you just screw the buffer tube back into the receiver, forcing the bolt forward past the receiver split line?

Well played good sir. 🤣 -
It's a tough one. I've sold guns before to people with elapsed UKARAs or 'other' defenses (dun dun DUN!), but I knew those people from various interactions and other (non RIF) sales, seen pictures/videos of them playing, and have been long-established on the forums. Would I ever do the same to a zero-post new guy (or girl)? No way. (note - I'm aware my post count on here is relatively low - I migrated from the Z1 forums a little while back)

£400 for half a gun. Nice. I'm sure those are expensive parts...but 400 quid. -

They come fitted to the Edge 2.0 series as standard. -

Oh dear.... above retail (albeit with a handful of cheapo accessories) on some mediocre guns. -

Ah, you mean the picture, not the advert. I think it’s an HPA gun. -

I'm assuming in the buffer tube. -

It can be for some - when I played paintball with mechanical guns (Autocockers), I was faster shooting with my middle finger than my index. -

This was doing the rounds on social media recently: TBH, i don't know what's worse...the short barrel...or the short shorts... -

I think that the lump of metal that should be a barrel nut IS the outer barrel. Much like: -
Makes for an interesting read - I like the idea, but like you say, difficult to implement.

Indeed. Whilst I would never spend that kind of money on a gun, those grips do kinda justify the price. I think he will struggle to sell it though - very niche. -
Late '90s/early '00s - staring at the DenTrinity website - they had built a P90 (which was uber cool in popular culture at the time) using TM internals in a model gun way before TM bought theirs to market. I was hooked from there on in.

Loving the Potato-cam used for the pics. Looks like someone screen-shot some analogue CCTV footage. Nice. -

I love it when people quote RRPs to justify their stupidly over-inflated pricing. I wouldn't pay more than £300 for that. -

Christ. You can get a new LCT for that money. Sure the mags are worth a bit. But that package (with no light or sight) ain't worth £350 -

This was raised a few pages back. Perhaps there should be a cap on the number ads you can have concurrently? -
