Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

I *may* be wrong but I thought half the point of a ghillie set up was being based on/attached to clothes. Not basically being a glorified scrim net with some extra raffia?

I mean its not even like its licking mustards "as used by tEh RuSsIaN fOrCeS" bullshit........

I may be missing something here, but this ghillie had better be giving Harry Potter level invisibility cloak for that money.

Natural fibre is an absolute dick to work with preparing etc, so that is why it costs so much. A 200m spool of properly produced Jute at 4/5mm diameter can be upwards of £400 on its own, before anything has been done with it. 

Basically, its monstrously overkill for airsoft, but then some donkeys run around with real plates in so..

But 180m of 5mm sisal is £37.  I wonder how many airsofters could tell the difference, either while wearing it, or at 5m.

Swings and roundabouts - These were not ever intended for airsofters, but its not a dreamer, because its something that given the right market, is not taking the piss.

Sisal won't last 10+ years if looked after, properly spun Jute will.

Given that he's asking the new price for the older, heavier A1 Silverback, I think there's somewhat of a feverish optimism to his adverts.

I don't know why these have become a thing regardless, Li-Ion are crap for high current requirements. Odds on he overpaid at LWA and is trying to sell for paid price ?

Most likely.  They really are not very good.  I bought a couple a few years ago when they were being touted as the "new best thing"; they weren't.

 
This seems... dodgy, real dodgy...

Joined yesterday, using stock images of an airsofter, using taken images of the pews in question, posting 4 different models at 4 different prices.

Located in the middle of buttfuck nowhere, Scotland too

 
I've suspended his account, for review by @Jedi_Master, as has been pointed out too many red flags & contradicting info, I'd asked him to clarify stuff earlier & he's been on but not responded.

Better safe than sorry in case a noob tries to jump on the £300 ad.

Nah, nothing against the gat, just the numpty/scammer selling it, it's obviously the same guy we banned earlier, back with a new name but the same shit, but I'm not a mod so can't scrutinise his profile etc any more than you, so have to be polite?, but I'm sure a ban is coming, they're like buses lol.
