It makes me laugh when people advertise anything as 'brand new but only used once'

soon as you buy something, it's no longer brand new but 2nd hand

Also once you buy it and sell it on you loose the benefits of Brand New ie no guarantee.  If you buy it then sell it unused its still second hand so 2/3 rule applies,  maybe a few quid more but certainly not anywhere near new price.

"It's basically brand new mate, yeah I want £1000 for it, yeah don't worry about the scratches it's still a insert brand here so it's gotta be worth the £1000 as it's basically brand new and still in the box see!"

Meanwhile it looks like this:

 
I could swear these were like £500 brand new and the stock is like 100 quid used nowadays. He has a collection of seemingly very overpriced ads though tbf.

 
The double barrel is quite well priced tbh. 

The Dominator is probably trading on it being unobtainium.

 
>only had black electrical tape wrapped on to improve stability

How? Magical electrician tape?

We just covered this, they black clearly has stability properties.

Blue adds value

And the red tape makes the bbs faster....

Nearly spat my cup of tea - when brand new is £899 from Defcon (Assuming its the Umarex as seller says is an AEG)

Yes you get the unbranded scope and red dot plus an ACM case but still....

"it's not been fired just used as a promotional item" 

"I will throw a new battery in to prove it works"

For some reason, these 2 comments seem to make it seem worse. Also the first one sounds like they're selling it at the price they paid for everything.

 
Real wood version from Patrolbase is £220

https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/dboys-WWII-KAR98k-Shell-Ejecting

Rifle sling is £14 from Epic Militaria

https://www.epicmilitaria.com/k98-rifle-sling.html?srsltid=AfmBOoo_3BUI6OkaQ2kKZ0Ot8i4ppyX_UlJZWPP8N1Wn7b6k0lQtKSay

Replica comes with x5 shells from new, shells are £18 for 5 so £36 for the extra 10 shells

Totals to £270 brand new

Or you could buy his preowned one for £300, what a bargain?!

Edit: He's since relisted it for £20 less than brand new 🤯

Real Wood is the funniest Airsoftism.

It doesn't mean it's actually quality, but it's one step above Little Timmy's fake wood plastic toy so you can use it as a selling point, apparently.

Double bell wood is extremely soft, cheap crap so in this case the plastic one would be more desirable 😂
