Clearly he really doesn't want to sell it, it's not one of those "the wife says it's got to go so it's priced accordingly" is it ? 😏

No, a good friend of his left it to him when he died, doesn’t want to sell it but needs the cash

Obviously from this sad history you can understand why he wouldn’t want to sell it BUT if he needs the cash then really he’s not doing himself any favours by overpricing it so it won’t sell ?

Now, I'd never make fun of anything that anyone buys, considering my completely pish loadout which consists of a mighty Unreal Tournament 2004 Redeemer-esque slayer of a UAR, an awe-inducing plastic fantastic Lancer Tactical M4 and an utter death machine of a 20 quid Chinesium 1911 springer. Add in some thoroughly geeky and naff fake sci fi foam armour, and I'm less Master Chief, more Disaster Chief.

 

However... before purchasing my awesomely unimpressive gear I did my research thoroughly, so knew what to expect and made my choices deliberately within my budget. And I'm happy with my choices.

 

Quite amazing how many folk jump into things, not just airsoft, blindly spaffing wads of dough like Rishi Sunak on a bender without having the faintest scooby doo about what their riches are going towards. Their choice I suppose. 

Wow, new or used? Not a hi capa fan but thats mental money. Think Airsofts going to resemble Mad Max soon, folk turning up at skirms bartering over gnus and having duels to decide who gets what 😀

I've done well out of the second hand market over the years and they have done well by me. It's a symbiosis that works. I can honestly say that I have never purchased new.

Been gifted new but that's a different matter.

Bad man. Get to your room... now!!

Does this count? I feel bad for the kid - it sucks to not have enough money for a replica you really want, but come on. Even boneyard ones go for twice that...

I don't, it's just another grift.  Remember the lad on Facebook who begged his way to a bunch of RIFs then started posting some very ill advised pictures and videos.  You don't value what you haven't earned.

I'm looking for a Ferrari SF90, new or used, but sadly i only have £348.87 and a packet of Hubba Bubba.

Don’t care if it has been worked it’s still the AA clone , so really think someone’s being a bit hopeful to say the least ?

Hmmm. Broken selector, randomly generated stock and grip…. Also, does this have the bolt stop piece to function or does the buyer have to send of for it like all the other disappointed customers?

Still, props for the fairly detailed description, and for only mugging people off face-to-face rather than remotely.

£220 in stock at patrol base... the grip sight and torch add £130 in value apparently with no depreciation.... damn

In fairness, I think he may have mislisted it, as it looks like the metal Gc16 rather than the CM16 to me.  Even so, 330 new at PB but could definitely be had cheaper at some point, plus the accessories, so still overpriced

[rj1986]

Why buy brand new, when you can pay the same price used?

Most be a typo on the price.

It’ll be the deans conversion that’s bumped the value 😉

[Enid_Puceflange]

Sorry Andrey, I feel you have moved to sniffing the stronger glue recently

A black spray job and an increase of £110 since you covered up its poopy “Oilfields of Kuwait” camo paint job 🤦🏻‍♂️
If you want to keep it, just keep it, don’t keep putting the price UP! LOL

Is it just me or does that stipple grip look like a burnt turd? 

[Paul72]

I was thinking it looked like it had been dipped in a jar of hundreds and thousands, then painted black

[Ebeneezer Goode]

What a load of keech!

 

If you're going to ask an unreasonable, nay completely bonkers price for a RIF at least make sure it's not butchered.

That’s a bit insulting don’t you think ? 🤭
a burnt turd wouldn’t look half as bad as that .😉

[Enid_Puceflange]

It’s a shame, as they are great guns to shoot

I tried to negotiate on this one 6 or so months ago and failed miserably , I ended up finding one on here, 5 miles away from me and paid almost £200 less than this one is now up for

The term Dreamer doesn’t even touch the sides with this one 😂

Any takers for a used nearly stock SSG10 A1 for a bargain £400? Why buy new?
