I don't see colour, it's purely a social construct. 🖐️

look, call me old fashioned fine, but saying that black is different when viewed in a military context is based on fact not prejudice, i have nothing against pouches of afro-european descent but you can't deny they stick out something shocking on the field.

didn't look so much at the price, but am i the only one thinking those pouches look distinctly blacker than olive?

Are you actually presuming the colour these pouches want to be addressed by ? 😱That’s so politically incorrect ! This is a fully inclusive forum and the pouches (never assume what pronouns to be used to address a pouch) wish to identify as OD then they can identify as OD , this IS the 21st century ! 🌈

[Rogerborg]

Only priests' socks are really black.  Those pouches are just very, very, very, very, dark olive.

look i call it how it is, i call a spade a spade and i call a black pouch a black pouch.

 

i'm not judging them, or calling them inferior beyond certain respects which can be empirically proven. you can call me a nazi if you like but i don't care.

They do this when it goes out of stock, instead of pull the listing. They make the price super high so no one buys it. That’ll be £12.99 when it’s in stock!

Still expensive at 12.99....

You can get three from @CES_williamson at   SWAS for about £16 iirc...

That the 1L bottles or the smaller 500ml ones?

Comes with heat seeking, fire and forget BB system.
Guaranteed hit call with every trigger pull.
Well, that's what I would expect from a pistol that costs £600...
SIX 
HUNDRED 
POUNDS
For a pistol.
And two mags - maybe three! (If you're lucky and he can find the other one)..

One of a kind! 
Yes. Yes it is. Thankfully.....

[Tackle]

Don't forget he wants TWENTY FIVE QUID for postage too, will he get Andy McNab to deliver it personally for that much. 😉 ffs

Just remembet though it doesn’t just shoot straight it shoots “dstraightaght”. With all them extra letters it must be even better.

Guys you’ve missed a very important point about the prices he’s asking , he’s living in London so you have to add the London waiting allowance on to the price as well . With most jobs in the smoke that’s a couple of grand extra per year so would even out to a couple of hundred quid extra on his sale ! 😉

What a cockwomble! 🤦‍♂️

For years when I was a kid and my Dad worked in London, he talked about London weighting.

But I always thought it was London waiting. I just assumed he got the extra for all the time he spent in traffic!

Are you not thinking of the new york second- the shortest known unit of time in the universe being the time between a traffic light turning green and the cab behind you honking his horn.

[Rogerborg]

 

Asking £175 for a gun that can be had for £139 brand new, plus some budget add ons.  But, but, it's only been used once, so it's practically a new gun.  Just without any warranty.

 

At least you can put that Explodocharger and batteries in the bag before you bin them.

 

[Arwen]

To be fair, that's the charger I've been using for a year now. Not had any problems with it so long as you follow the instructions to plug it in first, then the battery. I don't trust it enough for me to keep it out of sight when charging batteries, but then I don't think I would trust any airsoft battery charger for that. 

[Rogerborg]

Some exaggeration for effect may be in order.

 

 

I'm not angry with him, just disappointed that he's going to be disappointed.  Guns sitting around unused give me a sad.

[Tackle]

What's everyone estimate, I'm thinking at least overpriced by about £300 ?

 

[Wo1f]

I fucking hate bulk package stuff where they want to sell everything all at once. Not only are they usually never cheap, but what are the chances of a single person wanting 43 different random items?

It's a reasonable thing to try and do, and he does at least say at the end that he might split.

Waal, thaars yar problem.  If you want someone to buy everything you've got (and which you don't want), it's got to be cheap enough that they can be confident of selling on excess items for at least a break-even after their own postage and time is taken into account.

 

A bundle of generic meh with a big ticket on it, I don't see that shifting.

 

Sads again. 😢
