Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

so how much were you planning to haggle down to? because it's going to take quite a bit to reach a more sensible price

I feel like £200 is a fair asking price the nuprol bocca rails alone are £55 and it's only been on for the past 7 month or so and not really been used as I also have a silverback SRS that I prefer to use then the extra mags and batteries

Oh wow thanks, that’s the second funniest thing I’ve seen tonight, first was a spinning squirrel ??

 
When I was a little kid, my push-bike’s brakes came on when I back peddled quickly enough.

This has become a really nostalgic thread for me ???

Just a random number just like what people do on FB marketplace when their looking for offers

except this isn't the FB marketplace, we're a community and as unusual as this thread is it's a surprisingly effective means of keeping pricing in the sales at reasonable levels. and if not it's at least a nice dose of banter.

nobody's forcing you to change your listed price, or sell the gun for less than you think it's worth, but it would be sensible to consider that you might not be getting many bites if this is the reaction your pricing generates. the reality is you can buy better guns on the market for much less than what you've advertised yours at.

No ones being a cock, if you had bothered to look around before you put your advert up you would have known there was a great community spirit here, an appraisals section and this thread.

Just putting up a random number is not going to win you any favours and hopefully not going to get you any interest or sales. This thread is here for the regulars to have some lighthearted banter about wishful thinking like your original listing. A lot of the time advertisers like yourself make their way into here and either throw their toys out of the pram or take things on board like you have. 

Based on the value and the extras (admittedly not worth a great deal extra to 70% of buyers) I would say asking for £200 like you have changed it too is more realistic but I would expect to pay about £150 TOPS as that is about 60% value of the total costs new. 

And not a personal dig but WTF is wrong with the world if throwing up a random number thats double what something cost onto any sort of advert/marketplace? is this really the accepted norm on bookface? bloody hell!!

 
Yeah I have a bad habit of hitting reply or quote without reading the rest of the thread sometimes.

 
Just found this thread...loving it.

Gotta love dem preowned for 50% above retail price eh.

If he bought quite poorly, it's possible he paid £300 for all those bits. Silly to list an item for what you paid new and then say that you're accepting offers. Especially when you've only uploaded a stock photo, the actual RIF could be beaten to shit for all we know.

Actually I take that back....seems he does want £300 as he paid "well-over" that....yikes.
