Is it just me, or is £100 still a bit steep?

 

Yeh. It's a bit steep. They are only £130 new delivered from TaiwanGun in...ahem...proper colours.

So, are the kiddies trying to generate some back to school pocket money?
 

£160 (the retail price) for a G17, with an extra leaky mag? 😂😂😂

To play devils advocate, upgraded barrel, upgraded rubber, extra mag which can likely be repaired easily enough. Perhaps could be £20 or so cheaper to be a good price but I've seen a lot worse pricing. Plus I bought a trademarked WE Colt 25 off this guy and he kept me up to date every step of the way with a chrono video, then postage receipt etc.

Yours for £199 plus a tenner postage ....

 

or new from bb*&£#@less for £119.

Slightly off topic but I could well be dreaming as it may be too good to be true? Some chap is selling ASG Devils for £7 a bottle. I was wondering if anyone has bought any?

I don’t agree, but discussion is what this is about. I think my biggest bug-bear is a £90 VFC pistol, with non-correct trademarks, being flogged by Umarex  for £160. 
At very best, VFC’s are about as good as WE’s.

£350 posted for what you could pickup for £365 plus postage from a retailer

And its a WE.  You can get a TM one from Fire Support for £320

OMG... Seriously? It has a major crack in the lower receiver on the most important part of the receiver... But with all the upgrades and other bit's the OP is still looking for £700. Bargain right?

[Cromulon1994]

60 quid more than new, for an old type dan wesson, that appears to be missing a shell.

Reasoned debate!? This is the Internet, let's get personal! I like my Umarex 19X but haven't used it much, so maybe I'll change my opinion in time.

I do agree with you though, I got in to airsoft just as unlicensed trademarked Glocks were being discontinued and even then you could pick up a "Stark Arms" 17 with all the correct markings for £90.

Stark Arms is VFC of course lol

Exactly! Also I remember ordering a "Hogwards" Glock 42 from Armsaholic, which would have worked out about £70 delivered but it was seized by Border Force. Again, VFC made but if you want one now you have to pay the full £160 - which quite frankly is ridiculous for such a small gun.

Patina, m8, that'll buff out.  Loving the gap between the upper and lower - has he been clubbing people with it?

 

And why does he think a broken toy gnu is worth so mu... ohhh, "Kingdom of airsoft"  Paid loads = worth loads.

 

Is there actually a working gun to be had in there?

More out of curiosity than anything else, is that gap due to the angle the crack on the lower? Causing the whole tail end of the lower to be that far out of whack? Or is it purely a case the the receiver have a really bad fitting?

[AlphaBear]

Look at the buffer tube. Is it at a different angle to the gearbox too or simply to the lower receiver? The back end has had a massive shunt that’s for sure but I’m still trying to figure out how that could have happened. 

[hitmanNo2]

I believe the technical term for that specific issue is that it's proper fucked.

[PopRocket123]

It's because VFC doesn't believe in putting a screw through the buffer tube into the gearbox. I'm kind of amazed it is still connected

I have a “Umarex” (😂) G42, and it’s shockingly bad, really bad design, cheaply made and such appalling efficiency you can’t shoot more then three bb’s 🤣🤣

I think it's been bent down and to the right, but it's hard to see from that close up.  I notice the cheeky fecker is using two full length pictures from before he mullered it.  Very catfishy.

 

[Cromulon1994]

Nah mate the stock is bent to make it more speedy. It ain't broke it's meant to be like that...
