Use it at Section 8 depending on the game mechanic.

I like the idea.

a couple of players use them at our site, I have one  (got it for free from Taiwan Gun , back when buying from abroad was an option ?)

Bit I am still to use it. I carry it in my kit just in case I’m at a site where it’s requested

I got zapped at RIFT on Sunday, walked back from the front-line with my hand in the air, stopped for a breather for five minutes (the deep mud and slippery slopes made even the shortest walks hard work, and I'd just gone in and out of the quarry section).

I then started walking back to spawn, and I got shot again by the same guy who'd got me before, he'd flanked around the whole edge of the game area.
Needless to say, where I was, I didn't feel the need to have my hand in the air - a dead man rag might've stopped me getting shot in the arse ;)

But... would everyone know (or care) to not shoot someone with a red flag on one arm?  I question that.  I've been at one of the tables at Spec Ops, messing with my gun at a table with a big red 'dead man' scarf (provided by the site) draped over my head, and still got lit up!

Does anyone in the UK actually use a dead man rag?

I use one voluntarily, particularly when sniping which tends to leave me out in the middle of nowhere with a long walk back.  Stick it on the side of my boonie, pull it out when walking back to spawn. You don't know how many shots it's stopping you from taking, but it's airsoft, we cling to our traditions.

Fair enough, I've heard plenty of people talking about them, but never seen one out in the field

They're very rare in the UK, and I only use it very occasionally, depending on site and situation. It's not something I'd have bought, it was a freebie from TaiwanGun, back in the good old days.

£75 for the tracer

£72 for the mid caps

£140 for the gun (£220 if the high speed package)

£24 for both li-po’s

£311 brand new, £411 if it’s high speed. Still saving money, decent if you want to not have a warranty for £50+ cheaper than new. 

 
That's not the whole issue with this one though. It's £50 off new for a working one...this has had a spring change with no mention of the power was over or under. Also 340ISH is not the accuracy I would like any crono machine.

Sure the box is in good nick and the toy itself looks fine but that spring change means it might not be fitted well....

Eh. It's a CYMA, it probably came shooting hotter than the burning rage of a thousand suns.

I'd note that it's £275 to get it in your hands, in unknown condition, and that there's no username + date evidence in the single picture.  It doesn't appear to have been swiped from anywhere else, and the bloke does have positive feedback, but I don't find that total price remotely tempting for a used sale.

 
£410 for a used "short-stroked" (can be done with a few quids worth of buffers) WE Hi-Capa and 2x drum mags. The latter are "worth £300 alone" - if you find literally the most expensive place online and value used magazines at full-price.. 

So the RIF is worth around £75, say £80 each for the mags (even that's not factoring in any reduction for buying as a bundle)....just add £175 for a used red dot and mount...bargain!

I’ve given up with his pricing. I suspect he gets away with it by selling to people who may have an  “unusual” de***** (redacted for personal protection)

"European plug with 8.4 nimh battery ( freebie as the battery is still Mini Tamiya and plug is European"

But he's also included a free house fire caused by a cheap shitty Chinese charger
