2nd hand airsoft shop?

[two_zero]

oh. and look who is also thinking about doing auctions.

damn, forgot about that.

yer but auctions you tend can go good or bad. i think maybe a refurbishment website might be better, not sure if there is one?? but just a site that buys broken guns and then sells then as second hand after getting them working??

That's just what I was thinking. You need a USP (no not the pistol, a Unique Selling Point) so maybe buying in second hand guns and then checking/refurbishing them to add value and to give buyers a degree of confidence that the gun they've bought 2nd hand isn't just "pre-fucked".

ohhh someone sound like they took business studies. yer so you give a second hand gun a warranty on the parts once they have been checked and fixed. at the end of the day most of what you pay for is the shell of a gun. once the gear.box works it easy to make adjustments

Well the only problem with that is I dont know my way around a airsoft gun so I guess I could learn...

wouldnt recommend selling guns til you knew how to build them so that you know what you are selling inside out anyway. try geting your hands on one breaking it down and rebuilding it before you start that route. might be worth getting in touch with somewhere that might be willing to supply parts at trade prices etc. you could possibly have add on options like wiring to deans connectors etc. probably worth watching lots of youtube vids etc to see what you can do. and how cheaply you can buy the broken guns will make a big difference...

Well yeah you could, but there are loads of different types of airsoft gun and many of them have idiosyncrasies which, if you don't know 'the knack', can easily cause breakages. You'll need to do a lot more than buy one gun and fix it for practice. You could do what I've done so far, but commercially, which is specialise in one gearbox type - V3 for me.

I think that our advice would help you more if you do answer my question about what you think is missing from other sites which already exist? If we know what need you want to address or improve on, or maybe just why you want to do it, maybe we can come up with something better than advising you to do something different...
