Can we also have a "your having a laugh" or a "don't be a cnut, have a day off" negative reaction for when someone is seriously taking out of their arse or taking the proverbial ?

There already is one.. it's 😂

Err correct me if I’m wrong but does his ‘shopping list’ even reach the asking price new let alone second hand ????? 😳

[Rogerborg]

You need to factor in the seller's time in putting together that amazing custom gun.  Silencers don't screw themselves on.

[Wo1f]

I’ve just had a quick scroll through the for sale threads. I think it would be more productive and shorter to create a thread for things that aren’t ridiculously priced.

I had my suspicions about this but no very little about funky HPA DMR things that look like they’ve been built for a Saudi Prince

Well that depends, have you put your bid in yet? You've got to be in it to win it!

Placeholder prices. A lot of surplus shops and big eBay sellers do it. They put it on at a daft price until they have a found the right price to sell it for then update it.

[Gepard]

New user, first post being an advert for a scope listed at twice the market price new with only stock photos and a copy/pasted description (unless I'm missing something here?). Hmm..

 

 

[skintrade]

@Gepard you're not the only one who sees something off about it.

 

I don't consider for a moment buying from a forum member that hasn't been active. While I get that for some people that's the reason they join up, it's a risk I won't take. 

 

In regards pricing, I'm sure some people don't see how much they can buy things at retail for, forgetting that Google is your friend (at least for this 😉 ).

 

[proffrink]

Not using real pics of the item they actually own is against the rules as it's as good as no pictures at all.

 

Report it and mods will give them 24 hours to update it plus will add a notice to the header of it so people know it's fishy.

£250? When you can buy the whole lot new, with a warranty for under £220?
I'm not sure if I'm missing something, or if it's just a typo in the ad.....

Edit: I could have sworn when I wrote this it was £250. Now it's £225. Still way too much for 2nd hand kit, when you can pay less and have it new.

Fake news, now £175.

 

You'd have to pay me to deal with that seller though.

Honestly their entire advert history screams 'dreamer'.. 

 

Attitude stinks too.

It's like one of those shopping channels.

Give it 3 hours and the price will be locked in at the super low low price of £110!

I must admit, I spotted the post and it didn't half leave me scratching my head.

 

A lot of hostility from the seller when people are simply offering advice/assistance but at the end of the day (like you said) it's up to him what he advertises at.

[Druid799]

Looks like he changed his mind ! 🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Slamz]

Come on guys, he's got a classic mini project after all which drains more than anything 🙄

[proffrink]

Someone should probably let him know that there's an appraisals sub-forum now.

 

I might put that in the header for new sellers.

[Druid799]

Not a dreamer as such but didn’t know you could get an AEG L96 !!!!😱

 

 

[skintrade]

He just listed it in the wrong section... And none of us have told him... 😈
