Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

LOL

I'd give him some extra point for the marketing bullshit though. Half of these "upgrades" are absolutely unnecessary. ?

I can almost understand a novice selling it like that if they don't have the skills to build it but a 'professional'?

& if he's such a professional, why has he not sorted it.? 

Odds on the unlucky buyer might find more than the issues mentioned ?

 
Either he's built several,  or he doesn't like the laughing emoji on his first listing. 

It's a decent pew, but I wouldn't pay £140 for it second hand.

Edited because  I can get it for about £70 - £80 new in Japan, but a quick Google and I see its is £140 new here.

I don't comment much on here anymore but as someone who's built and sold many Glocks at a massive loss, this did leave me chuckling at the gall of this ad. His breakdown of costs actually includes a £65 labour charge (that he's invoiced himself!?). Then he's asking for the total new price + "labour" + £20 postage.

Why didn't I think of this when I sold this one which had a Guarder aluminium slide, steel outer barrel, nylon fibre frame, metal piston head, 150% recoil spring, uprated hammer spring, Flamingo bucking and Guarder lightweight mag for £175 posted!? ?

Also don't get me wrong, the Gen.3 is still a solid platform but if he wants even half of what he's asking (plus billing this as a "sleeper build"), then he really should have based it on a Gen.4.

Possibly he's not bothered about selling it, which is good because the chances of it going for anymore than about a third of what he's asking, are slim.




 
I'm just glad we have real Gunsmiths like him, to show those amateurs at Tokyo Marui, the right way to build a plastic pistol.

Mine was the copy pasta first two paragraphs of this and previous showing at Mack's.

Tbh I didn't look at that I just went straight to the price, but you're right it's about as believable as a MP's election promise
