Ex two-tone with a gopping attempt at a 'battle-worn' paintjob, with hop up issues, being sold by a guy with a track record of stitching his buyers up with his shit gunsmithing skillz, knack for bodgery and misleading adverts.

 

What could possibly go wrong?

 

[Hudson]

Would you like to buy a Cyma CM.028 for the low low price of only £350?

 

Well now's your chance!

[Druid799]

Says he’s “Looking for £350” , well I’m looking for the will to live , wonder who’ll find what their looking for 1st ?🤔

[Tactical Pith Helmet]

It does come with the original box...

Well ! In that case ,

 

[Steveocee]

 

Or maybe £2.50? Not sure what the Skeggy market going rate is at the moment for a bright blue springer.

[Druid799]

As a counter to all the bullshit add’s we get that end up on here and to try and give us a ‘wee’ bit of hope for our fellow Soft’ers I’d just like to highlight this almost textbook ‘boneyard’ add if ever I’ve seen one ! and say well done to the seller👍

Sometimes good to have examples of how to do it properly, to contextualise the lunacy ofc

Sadly, I rather suspect that we're going to see it relisted soon enough as "Mint condition, shoots like a laser, barely out of the box."

Just saying what I think bud , WAAAAAAAAAY too many sellers seem to convince them selves their selling the holy grail of airsoft so warrants the price they ‘think’ it’s worth , when in fact it’s an unpolished turd worth F**k all 🤦‍♂️ 
Simple as that really !😉

[Steveocee]

Pi$$ off guys, I come here to read about morons asking too much and then getting offended when they find themselves in here. I don't want to see people being nice and decent to each other.

[Skullchewer]

Always makes me roll my eyes that the words "Tokyo Marui" seem to add a couple of hundred to a sale.

[strykerles]

thought I'd share this as he brought the gun from me a few weeks ago for £220 without a scope

 

pretty sure the base model was an A&K too, as it had some A&K gears as spares

wow, that is a new level....

 

even the scratches match up, it's definitely the gun you sold, externally at least.

 

doesn't even specify what make/model the scope is (or for that matter, if the scope is included) to remotely justify the price increase....

 

i'm not normally one to post on sales ads when they come up but i'm mighty tempted to link your ad as a PSA.

Granted he brought it so he can do what he wants with it, but It does seem shady

 

Maybe I'm being thick but what is PSA?

[Tackle]

That is some seriously shady shit, even for Macks.

true, but it's still a shady move.

public safety announcement, basically link your original ad and point out that without detail on the scope it can't be determined if the £280 extra he's asking for is justified.

Thanks for that, also it isn't a G&P as far as I'm aware

yeah, maybe he meant g&g?

 

i've not seen enough of both platforms to positively identify although my impression is they're both decent enough externally such that after a bit of external wear and internal modding the oem is probably not that relevant.

 

iirc the g&g uses the v2.5 box whereas the a&k is a standard v2, although i half expect to be corrected about that.

Pretty sure its the other way around. A&K = V2.5 and G&G V2

[strykerles]

It has a V2.5 gearbox as I opened it up to give a clean and regrease, runs pretty nicely

 

When I brought it originally it was a steal, guy just wanted rid of it. had offers of over £250

 

only reason I got it so cheap was that I was local and could collect quickly

reckon you're right now i think more about it.

 

been a while since i worked on the g&g version, but i do remember the hop unit being a custom setup, which would go with the shorter box.

I reckon the seller thinks that the gun is one of these:

https://airsoft.tiger111hk.com/p19549/G&P-SR-25-Sniper-AEG(Magpul-PTS)-(Limited-Edition)(Black)/product_info.html

 

The lack of Magpul markings on the stock would make it pretty unlikely, along with the URX rail.

 

This looks like it:
