At best it's worth 60% of retail price if it's lightly used, working and if all the original parts are included. The fact that it's in bits, missing a part with no guarantee it will work means I'll be amazed if anyone sane offers half your asking price.

Typically, parts value (unless it’s something rare, or unlimited warrantee like Vortex) is 50% of new, but once you lump it together in a RIF, it’s essentially zero, so yeah @osteoshot is spot on lol

You beat me to it. £220 for a repro chinese SVD scope as well...
Hmm £320 for an essentially broken CYMA RPK or £200 for a brand new one and do the 'upgrades' needed myself. And lets face it, the only upgrades needed on any CYMA AK is a new hop rubber a downgraded spring and a ruddy good clean.

The only way I could see that being worth £320 was if it came with 4x£50 notes stashed under the top cover.
i enjoyed the scope price too, £100 over retail for a scope that is not working
I wonder if anyone would like my empty mars bar wrapper, only eaten once £5

Just another example of someone joining the forum with the immediate sole purpose of trying to flog their overpriced shit.
I hated it many years ago when I joined Arnie's, only to find I couldn't access the classifieds until I'd hit a certain amount of posts, but it doesn't seem so silly now, given the number of chancers we get joining, ffs it's not even the school holidays lol.

Been browsing the 2nd hand airsoft market today and there's too many ads just like this,
"RRP when new £700 , 2nd hand Selling for £699"...
Nobody can possibly justify buying 2nd hand gear for close to retail prices.
just want to clarify a few things
1 ive been out of the game for a long time hence why selling my items
2 my rpk is basically a fully working fully upgraded rifle it just needs a rewire and motor 30 quid at most spent over £500 quid on it
3 i appreciate with the scope i may have overpriced it a result of being out of the sport for so long i have now amended said price
4 whatever price i do put is my business if you dont want it dont buy it its that simple no need for name calling and being general dicks about it
5 im not even sure what school holidays have to do with anything
3.2.1 go for the attacks on my post ive got the popcorn ready ?

er, no. This forum protects its members, that’s what this thread is about.
We try to make sure nobody gets ripped off
Ok fine make sure people dont get ripped off a post something like i saw and personally think its a bit overpriced or Typically, parts value (unless it’s something rare, or unlimited warrantee like Vortex) is 50% of new, but once you lump it together in a RIF, it’s essentially zero,
or be a dick

Chill Phil ?
If you'd taken maybe a day or two to surf the forum, you'd have got a feel for the place, it's actually fairly laid back & very community minded, but this thread, while mostly light-hearted is intended to hilight overpriced kit, hopefully to stop people getting suckered .
I appreciate you've been "out of the game" for a while, personally I see kit for sale & I could weep knowing how much I paid originally, but that's the way the market has gone, in much the way that some kit that would have sold within hours, now hangs about for weeks or months, usually experiencing multiple bumps & price drops.

Found this today. £100 for a broken kwc Luger which are between 100-120 new but ‘i did good ageing job’. It looks like shit.

Nobody cares if you spent big monies on that thing.
It costs €260 (wild guess £230) NEW, and guess what? it's ASSEMBLED and comes with ALL THE FUCKING PARTS.
Why would some poor soul spend £230 for a new, unused product when he can spend £90 more for a disassembled thing that is missing some rather key parts he's then forced to play Ikea with.
Sorry, forum police here, preventing you from ripping off the poor soul mentioned above.
