Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

Loving the dedication to accuracy of the maxx hopup unit and custom made edgi barrel...

And the dedication to ruining it by using an open bolt engine......

 
That thing looks disgusting, struggling to understand what these excessively expensive toys really offer. I don't even get the £1k recoil builds as the diminishing returns are huge.

"Domination" seems to be a popular word. As far as I can see, it's not about the actual experience of airsofting so much as willy-waggling over having the absolute peak top extreme bestest gnu on site.  And to be fair, renting a master-race gun for a day is a far cheaper way of slaking that thirst than building one yourself.

Me, I get more satisfaction from each hit the worse the BB-flinger is.  Shotgun, AEP, unhopped revolver and even springer pistol kills are the most memorable, not BRRRRTing.

Yasss. I've just picked up a ridiculous 1980's Japanese single-shot Remington 870, and it is so much fun :D

My teen brother plays with a combo of a CYMA M14, and a spring pistol from a sporting goods store, spray-painted red and white. He won the QC lottery, and the spring pistol actually shoots straight. It's downright hilarious to see him getting kills on guys running 1K+ HPA rigs with it...

Nothing wrong with a bit of...... oh wait, wrong forum

You mean the winning is all that matters attitude, usually found in those with major insecurities and the knowledge that no woman is ever going to touch them in that special place without payment first

I seriously hope that's a NGRS one. Mind you even  if it is 10% off RRP is still pushing into Mack's territory 

*Edit* It is the NGRS version

That would be ok in my books… if a massive TM shipment from Japan didn’t just land at pretty much every retailer in the UK. Which it did.

 
I was going to start a new topic but THB this thread probably covers what I was going to say anyway...

An open comment to any sellers in the classified section on this site...

I've bought a few items already & most sellers are fairly good with their feedback on the offer I've made but now and then I get a shirty reply to my 'LOWBALL' offer... Just because you've paid X for a rif and added Y & Z to it doesn't mean it's worth XYZ to me, I generally offer 1/2 the 'new' price as that's what it's worth to me regardless of Y or Z, I'm happy to have the offer rejected or even negotiate a higher price, but there's no need send a shirty reply because your 'upgraded' 'modded' or 'rare' piece of unicorn poo is worth X to you.

Basically, if you're selling & I make an offer, don't take it personally.

If they're not open to offers though, for example, and you decide you know best and offer as such, you can't really criticize them for getting shirty.

You're free to make offers even if a seller hasn't said they're accepting them, but the sellers are equally free to respond as they like.

Manners only take a moment, but it could be argued that unsolicited offers -- especially ones that don't relate to the price the seller is seeking for -- is also rude, however "right" you think you are.

My post isn't meant as a complaint, I agree 100% that it's everyone's right to ask for XY or Z, it's genuinely an open comment that no offense is intended by me.

Considering the topic of this thread, I recon it's the best place for my comment.

 I think some sellers are happy to wait it out for the right (loaded) buyer. 

You call it unicorn poo but someone out there loves the idea of the sparkle....

We know that toys priced around 45-60% of RRP sell here, I personally don't even count the gear the pews are sold with, if they were worth anything you would split them right? 

So yeah, offering 50% of new is not beyond the pale. It maybe for the seller though.

 
Just had a look at that group, I'm certainly no expert but some of the "advice" given it on there is comedy gold. For example on how to lower the power on a hot AEG answers include use heavier bbs, cut the inner barrel down or buy an ICS with a quick change spring.

 
There's some curious guns for sale on the Airsoft UK discord if anyone wants a laugh. Apparently some random throwing a load of parts in a gun means it's worth double the cost of the gun new. Should it be 3x retail instead if they are well known techs? ?

Does that mean my Recce rifle that had work done on it by Kingdom of Airsoft is worth over a grand lol. Here I was thinking £400 might be a bit steep....
