Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

I always give an all inclusive price for anything over £20 and let the buyer ask about a lower price if he wants to collect. Since all but two transactions I've made on here have been posted it makes far more sense to cater to those transactions.

Mostly I agree, but international (even to Eire) shipping can be expensive and problematic, so it depends what I’m selling

I would much rather see I want £XX amount rather than have to do sums, Just add a tenner for delivery and fees if its a small item and £20 for a RIF. and leave arguing room. Its really not difficult.

And dont get me started on the posters who put collection only. And dont put a location *facepalm*

same, i mean when you're selling secondhand stuff you're gonna be taking such a loss anyway from depreciation.

same with paypal fees, end of the day it's the price you pay for convenience of being able to safely accept money and not worth arguing over.

skipping a days shooting is going to save you more money than you're gonna lose in postage+fee's most of the time.

Of course if someone asked to post something overseas that will have an extra cost but generally people anticipate that and in my experience at least are very understanding of it.

Tell me about it, sold an idf vest on eBay & the guy turned out to be in the Lebanon, wanted to pay more for shipping than the price of the vest. True.

Seemed like a very nice chap, ended all of his emails with "alluah Akbar" ??

 
Have we done this one yet?:



You won't find this gun in the UK! You will find it in Poland though....

TaiwanGun:

Base gun  £153

'A5' Stock £16

Knockoff CTR Stock £10

Kublai PMags £8 each

Vert Grip £7

Total: £202

This guy wants £240 (No Offers! Collection only) - So those H&K stickers must be totally worth the extra £38...

 
This seems about £100 ish overpriced. It’s the new base price without VAT. What do we think?

I think it makes me sad.

"Ghk mk18 never skirmished and around 7 bbs shot for a slow motion video and put back in its box"

I reckon that cost him just shy of £16 per trigger pull.

I'm sure we all understand the urge to buy stuff just to have stuff, but economically speaking, this is like buying a G&G CM16 then just throwing it straight in the bin.

I certainly got caught in the 'buying things to try and make me happy' throughout the early stages of the COVID situation. Fortunately that led me down a path which has made me fall in love with the game all over again, but it's also left me with a very expensive MWS build that I should absolutely sell on but am in denial about doing so. Selling a RIF before I've skirmished it atleast once is something I've never done, and never thought I would do... but after some frivolous spending to try and put a smile on my face I can absolutely see how it happens.

I'll give you...*rummages in pockets*... £4.77, some fluff, a receipt from pets at home and a unused disposable glove.

I'm in the same boat - I got bored, and bought a 2nd hand GHK to scratch an itch, rather than wait for a good deal on a TM.

Now that itch is recurring in AK form, either a GHK or the TM Space AK ngrs.

Although to be fair, they've managed to modify M4 magazines so they fit in M4 pouches...genius!

G&G high caps have weird shapes and bulge out in the middle for some reason.

Also, trigger reponce :D

I have used many long guns in cqb,  it doesn't make them 'perfect' lol 

My point is, that he advertises it as a 'perfect' cqb gun simply due to trigger response and it is far from 'perfect'

To be (grudgingly) fair, it is a significant factor, if you're talking very CQ.

And depending on how, uh, "mental" the "reponce" is.

But yes, over-sold and over-priced. If it's that "perfect", why's he selling it?
