I was in A&E having fallen off a ladder at work when I found this little gem, I did not see that.

Yes, I'm looking forward to seeing mack's flourish.

Correct balls I have I also have receipt for the warrenty which will go with it which shows I paid  £329.99 as it has the shorter carbine barrel so a £70 saving and ready to paint the grip or strip to original for anyone who wants too

Thanks for the cross advertising guys

Shorter carbine version is still £299 on fire support though, the RRP is how much the weapon is NOW not what the receipt says. Receipt going with the RIF to prove warranty? Mmmm dunno how that would work, if it does great good news for the potential buyer.

The fact it's ready to paint just means someones purposely taken the finish off, so yeah I think a new and real RIF wins there.

Cross advertising? No, this is where people look to see who's being a little too ambitious with their pricing. Throw whatever tongue in cheek positive spin on that you will but you'll find it's not beneficial to your sale in the long run. The people in this thread discussing this are your ideal candidates for constructive criticism, we're not biased in your favour and we sure as hell won't be buying your overpriced goods so will happily advise you to get to a sensible price point ?

You can still get the carbine on Fire Support for £299, with the original factory finish for the paint. Generally people look at around 60-70% for the current new price, so you're looking closer to £180-210. At the end of the day you're free to list it at whatever price you want, but I'd imagine most would rather spend the extra money for a brand new rifle (and for less risk of warranty work being denied).

Thanks heath for the pricing advice, I've been on this site nearly 2 years and never knew about this page so that's helpful

Now, now, that's not a fair comparison.  You've have to pay another £10 to get it in two tone first, then strip it off.

good point Roger 3 hours of stripping prepping and then respray of the gun body, I think the point is is with UKARA you can get it stock colour for 299.99 I paid slightly more as it wasn't in stock anywhere and the only extras are an extra mag and rifle sling

That's fair enough but it is slightly unrealistic is to expect a second hand buyer to burden your initial "additional" outlay because it wasn't in stock so paid the rarity tax and you had to buy it in 2 tone when for barely anything more they can buy new in "real" colours now.

As pointed out above, if you aim for around 60% of the CURRENT retail price you are probably in the right ball park.

Congrats for not having a major diva strop though (many do) ?
