Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

To be fair, if the only retailer selling them is charging £650, then that's the retail price.  I mean, if you don't want to buy one, then you can not buy it from JDAirsoft instead for the bargain non-price of £450.

Think both DCA and patrol base had them up round about the same time one for £560 and DCA and £650. That was June I think. DCA still has his in stock.

Our man is back with what he originally touted as an Ares Honey Badger and now realises it is a Double Eagle Honey Badger, as we suspected.

Somehow, he still thinks it has £230+ worth of upgrades as he still wants £400 for a gun that's ~£170 at current retail.

When he insists that it's been "fully upgraded" internally but he can't itemise the internal upgrades, how can he possibly inspire confidence that its internals are worth more than twice the original gun?

Now down to £350. It's still just over double RRP with that "fully upgraded" moniker.  ?‍♂️

Nope. It's marked as "withdrawn", probably didn't want to get the stick here.

He's still selling it elsewhere, as a friend sent me a screenshot of it an hour ago popping up a fresh in a hidden sales FB group.

Yep, knows its overpriced & doesn't want the heat you get here ?

As a bit of a DE M900 aficionado I'd love to know what's implied by "fully upgraded" as well.

Externally I see slapped on paint, a 3d printed stock extension, and grip tape applied to the stock pistol grip, so let's say a generous £40 on parts there, so where has the other £180 or so gone? To replace the weaker components in it, hop unit + bucking + nozzle + spring + motor, you could do all of that for £90 with parts from AK2M4.

... until it broke.

And the usual counter-productive laziness of requiring each interested party to ask for details, rather than just providing them once in the advert.

Must be that rare "Nuprol hardcase" pushing up the cost.

Nothing frustrates me more than people who say enquire for the parts list instead of putting it up.

The unwritten rule should be "see an ad like that, it's everyone's civic duty to demand to know the upgrades list, even if you have no interest in buying".

Bombard the dopey cnuts?

Oh yeah, I'm asking it as a rhetorical question because most scenarios will have you falling short on the gap in the price of parts. A premium brushless motor will get you closer but still not there and the seller hasn't even opened up the base of the firing grip to have a peek inside. 

I reckon he's dreaming because he's been duped by the previous seller, having paid way more than he should have as he should know by now the Double Eagle is a lot of airsoft gun for little money. Just to think he wanted 500 quid for it originally!

I asked for an exact list of parts and this is what I got back. "Hop up barrel gears bucking MOSFET trigger extended battery compartment" but refused to elaborate.
