Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

"Beginners bundle" = Two-tone shit I bought and used for a month before dropping the sport - whilst trying to salvage what I paid. Although, what caught my attention is that the OP bought four of the same batteries, presumably for the usage of the same RIF. Plus, there are plenty of retailers with simply superior "beginners bundles" to offer for a fraction of the price

Given the clown is also selling v3 AKM GHK mags with the feedlips already filed (GHK system is reliant on the feedlips being tight to get proper airseal, if you are getting jams its the BBs or your guidetabs on the nozzle not the feedlips, but I digress) I doubt he could upgrade his own arse with both hands.  I have forgotten more than this clown knows about GHKs.

If the argument did hold water that the upgrade parts were worth full value its still doesn't account for £600 difference.  But hey, don't criticise him!

@leez How about you actually listen to people who are clued on this stuff rather than getting all defensive and bitter in your ads? If you want to discredit Monkee because his lack of selling reviews, I'll simply parrot it XD

@Tackle If this isn't aloud please delete.

It's Macks, outing sellers with banter & mild piss taking is OK, preferable here than in the actual sales posts.

Obviously nasty or threatening abuse will get people banned In a heartbeat,  everyone needs to keep that in mind.

At the end of the day, any seller can ask what they like, getting it is another matter.

 
Starting the week of strongly with this one: https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/35531-tokyo-marui-416d-kit

A Starter kit, but £1200 + £50 shipping, and an upgraded NGRS that only seems to have an upgrade of a Fet, but not listing and other internal hardware such as gears, pistonhead etc. The motor is a nice touch but the EG1000 are fine for 90% of builds, considering that according to the ad the compression parts are stock.

And the kicker, mental maths puts the actual contents of the ad around a generous £1100 brand new

Presumably he's factoring in the absolute rinsing inflicted by EAGLE6 for throwing in the Titan and trigger.  I also like that he's listed a sling swivel, but nothing about replacing any TM parts designed to run at 0.8J, or even what spring has ostensibly bumped it to 1.1J.  The ANGY SHOUTING about not splitting this bargain bundle up is the perfect opener. That'll take some beating.

Reminds me of @leez adverts!?

 
Tbf, I have never seen the usual RRP justification by retailers. Its a VFC MPX licensed via Cybergun - of which its cheaper companion, the King Arms MPX-K offers far superior price-performance ratio.

There's really no point in buying one unless you're getting it at a severe discount and intend on changing most of the internals.

I should have attached this too, but the VFC 100rd mid-caps, do indeed hover around 40, whilst the King Arms 100rnd mid-caps tend to be below 18, and 10 from HK.

My thoughts are... the seller feels guilty & they need to justify their price.

It's not a problem asking 100% of the retail cost if that's what you want (yes you'll end up back here but so what?), might take longer to sell the item & might drop your price a few times but you'll eventually get an offer, up to the seller if they accept it.

Surprised it hasn't been taken down by the new rules in classifieds... yet. I wonder what what price it will reappear at. Also wondering if "dec 24" is a sufficient date as per requirements.

I was just about to post that one. The service cost is basically sunk, be lucky to get £1k for the full package but more likely £800.

I assume not given that the rules are (rightly) strict.

Whether it was applying for my mortgage, stating the end of my notice period when resigning from a job, filling in time sheets at work, I put always put the day number in the date.
