But surely putting it on an airsoft forum would be easier to get the correct audience? Most people will go to an airsoft forum to buy guns anyway, not ebay. Ebay can be pretty dodgy.

meh..... if you where not concerned about eBay rules. why didn't you just list it, state that defence will be checked then offer to 2nd/3rd buyer if first does not have a valid defence.
As for selling it in parts, usually when people do this, it could not be clearer that they are trying to bend the law. Hence people reactions here, acceptable or not, was to be expected.
As for getting a wider audience on eBay... you're only legally allowed to sell to a narrow audience.. and of those I'd say majority that are interested in buying second hand airsofts would be checking the sales sections on airsoft forums.
Leaving? meh. you already said "I don't think I need any more information. Thanks", why didn't you just abandon the thread after that? and for that sake, when you decided you do not want to be on this forum any more, why not just leave? whats this deleting-my-account business??
Ian: as for who would be legally responsible, I would not want to be tried at a court for selling a RIF in two parts to the same person unless I've made sure he have a valid defence.
I do much agree thou, the friendly spirit is the main reason this is one of my favourite forums. Generally law sections seems to be a bit heated from time to time thou.

Sounded hilarious in text-to-speak program! then again, I've never had any family member slashed with a self-manufactured RIF.

I think there is a bit too much questioning of the OP's questions and decisions. Trying to put the OP in a bad light isn't going to help in any respect. It's better that we explain in a clear and informative manner rather than one which comes across a bit aggressive and know it all.
An assumption that splitting something up for parts automatically means someone is trying to bend the law is ludicrous. How does anyone ever get a hold of parts that are not brand new? And how is that any different to used parts? The buyer could still put them all together. It's important to remember that the seller does not do anything wrong if a buyer happens to collect all the parts and is able to manufacturer a RIF. It's on the buyer.
We are here to help people and answer their questions. It seems to me that those who have become very familiar with the VCRA forget that not everyone knows its contents. It once took you some time to get to grips with it and know the ins and outs, so do not expect others to just know it.
