Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

I hope the warranty is the same as Vortex, these sights, whilst good, are only £233 brand new from The Hunting Edge.

I just checked, it’s not.  lifetime limited warranty for first owner only

Another more expensive than new...but it's OK, it's been re-shimmed and got blue bits. Totally worth the £45 more than TaiwanGun. ?
















 
I'd question, without further information at least, the quality of a shimming job when a "lightly skirmished" 2-tone suggests an inexperienced owner.

Maybe he had a tech, or a more experienced mate do it, but it's not explicitly stated.

The price isn't final - A friend of mine was very kind and shimmed two of my guns since both came from the supplier pretty grindy - but aside from that nothing was done. They do both come with some added externals, but I've adjusted prices to not include the flat shipping fee because now I'll calculate it before I ask for the money/sent the gun. Hurts a bit too have it called out in a meme thread however, a good point was raised - and has helped me adjust. Thank you

The issue your fighting is this:

Same gun, brand new, and without 2-tone if you have your ukara for £35 less than your asking price (from last i checked just before writing). The general (although not exclusive) rule of thumb is ~60% of retail for a secondhand item.

This thread for sure is a strange way of evaluating the classifieds, but it can work well if you take it in the spirit of the same kind of banter youd find in your average airsoft safe zone.

You are of course free to ask whatever price you like, and you may be able to sell just fine, but at least now you know what you're competing with.

It's nothing personal, really.  It's just that sight and sound unseen, for all we know your friend is a ham-handed gibbon who's made it worse, it's the £95 plus postage gopping model with the M4 buffer which is going to have a limited market, the mid caps are handy but the blue bits just reduce the value further while not actually making it even close to being an IF.

Used plastic CYMAs are bargain guns, I'm afraid. You're free to ask whatever you want, but I think you're more likely to be offered half of that, if you can find anyone who wants that model.

True - at the end of the day - this is just a preliminary price, I'll likely reduce it and i do often offer a lowered price in the end. It's not personal - as you have said. I'm still pretty new to the hobby and of course pricing is just another thing I need to work around. I do appreciate the call out, because yeh - now I look back it was pretty insane. 

 
BOOOO! Where's the tantrum and the throwing off toys out of the proverbial pram? I think we're losing our touch, guys. We've not had a good freakout in weeks.

I have a message in my inbox.  I hope it's challenging me to a duel... :D

[UPDATE]

Huh, more reasonable points.  Look, just ban him, we don't need this sort of adult behaviour breaking out around here.

I'm still holding out hope that one day we'll break avenger

 
To be fair I’d probably keep my mouth shut if I was running a successful store front without eating any of the negatives of doing so.
