Didnt check the current retail prices for it. considering i paid 310 new when i got it and its been used a handful of times

 

more so 250 gives me haggle room, first rule of sales always ask for more than you actually want.

 

Lol, I could sob when I think about prices I paid years ago on kit that's still available, but now much cheaper 😭

 Thing is it’s not completely stock, they don’t come with a 160 spring. Also there is no way it’s lifting a .48 on the stock hop rubber, let alone to 80-90m.

 

Literally nothing in that advert is true 

All is true. I have upgraded about a dozen of these exactly the same way. The gun is available for testing. Seeing is believing. I hope this is convincing.

You've upgraded a dozen to higher than what our limits state we can use? Responsible.

They don’t come stock with a 160 spring and won’t lift a .48 to 80-90m stock either.

Good spot.  530fps @ 0.2g is 2.6J, which means that's an air rifle, not an airsoft gun.  Does it matter?  Well, I could get 2 years in gaol for purchasing or owning that.

and if it isn't that hot that means the spring isn't as good as it's rated, or the air seal is terrible, the latter of which sounds like a wonderful thing for a precision long range gun to have......

Striker has a very small cylinder and as02 a short barrel so springs dont usually make the fps they’re rated at. I run a 160 in mine at 490fps

The stock Striker air seal is surprisingly good, on mine it was pretty much 100% seal.

 

I have some doubts on the parts used, as the stock brass cylinder can't even handle a SP100, let alone a that behemoth of a spring he claims he's put in. I expect it to fail within 3 magazines.

 

The stock hop rubber can't lift more than 0.30s without jamming so I doubt he's pushing 0.48s out to 80 metres.

 

I smell bullshit all over the place.

Thanks, I guess it keeps the price fair. Can you find me the same gun with the limited edition ghost skin in blue please? I was under the impression that these were limited and added to the value. If not then I’ll re list much cheaper lol

 

Items are always worth what someone is willing to pay, obviously lowering it increases that pool of people. You may get lucky and be contacted by that one person who has been searching for ages and absolutely desperately wants one with this skin. However 99.9% of potential buyers would rather pay £99 for a brand new (black) one, therefore meaning the value you've put on the skin alone is more than £100. It's your property, you can ask whatever you like for it but this thread also helps buyers get their items sold quicker.

But he "claims" it is running 530fps, so that's enough to tick the box of "leave the f**k alone". To be honest I'm more inclined to take your word for the FPS it is producing compared to the rest of the dribble in the ad but meh, you were picking him up yourself on these falsities not 5 posts ago lol.

it was in response to Adolf hamster mentioning the spring to fps quoted being off is all. Either way the seller is talking shite

Thanks. This was the first 'positive' comment I received on this site. Not really very good welcoming to a 'starter'.

We’re not very welcoming to people who want to rip others off and lie to them.

Trolling me or have no grasp of sarcasm?

This site is perfectly welcoming, join, converse, it's fine. Don't expect to join, list items for sale overpriced and everyone thank you for it. We look out for each other, people who get their threads mentioned either take the dose of reality and price realistically or have a fanny fit.

 

Maybe if you'd gotten involved in a few conversations and got a feel for the community you'd have realised the worth of what you were selling and then not have tried to make yourself out the victim here.

Don't let the door smack you in the ass on the way out.  You don't come to our board as a new member and start quoting us the Riot Act.  F*ck Off

[sonofsammo]

Oh Macks. How I love you.

It's only ever gonna go one of two ways...

Why? Because either people read this thread first, or they don't.

And I can guess what happened here 🤣

[AlphaBear]

I've just read the last few page and I'm in stitches.... I have to admit of all the Airsoft boards I've ever been a member of this one is by far well pucker!!
