£500 for a gun that costs £340 but with 2 extra mags that cost £50.  Now, my maths isn't the best.....Also, 'brand new' seems to be an elastic concept

 

 

With how desperate I am for one I am actually quite tempted...

Well that's it isn't it? They may be less new In theory, but *can* you find a new one?

I paid a bit over the odds for a 2nd hand m4 gas block off ebay a few months ago, they were just unobtainable anywhere else.

But is it worth not only paying more than new rrp, AND giving up on any warranty etc ?

🤔

I wouldn't risk it, especially as  they've not been around long & any teething issues or weaknesses may not have become apparent ?

A few ‘brand new’ guns on his sales history as well ? 🤔

To be fair, he does seem like more of a collector / displayer than a player.

 

Maybe we could apply some of that Twatter/Google language policing to flag up the word "new" in any advert.

I paid £299 for mine from Patrol base with mags at about £30 a go 

 

I deliberatly waited as I wasn't prepared to pay the £450 figures being asked by a couple of sites.

Y'all are thinking its something shady like out of his bedroom window in a built up area, it could just as easily be out of his mums corsa window when he went to meet the lads in Aldi car park.

 

Our beloved hobby is safe.

Tbf, there are a few sites that still have some in for less.

 

£500 is just cheeky for 2nd hand.

“完美状态的 eotech，除了范围灯不亮” 25 英镑

 

哇，那个家伙删除了 Z1 上的帖子，当时我笑死我了，但更糟糕的是，它甚至不是真正的 eotech 或高质量的复制品，而是 ACM 的

I think it's good to find a good replica to replace eotech. Because its price is too high. more expensive than my gun

[Druid799]

Yet another awesome must have , don’t know the make , don’t know the FPS , don’t really know it’s history and topped off very nicely with a couple of shite pictures ! and all yours for the princely sum of only £280 ! 😱

take my money now ! 🤦‍♂️

Upside down is always a nice touch.

 

At the point where you're just saying "M44sale lol" why not pitch it as a mystery box?  Folk seem to love those.

[Tackle]

Funny how the seller knows feck all about it, but is able to price it at £280, not exactly cheap for what might be an absolute load of shite plastic 0.5j market stall knock off 🤔

That's just your point of view.

Couple of questionable prices here

 

First up, polymer or metal, even if the metal one, seems a bit pricey for used and with a fucked stock. Owning one of those stocks, it would take some considerable force to crack it like that, makes me wonder how the guns been treated

edit : just noticed the missing screw from the handguard, and the forward assist looks a bit off to me. And I didn't originally mention the red barrel 

 

 

 

And for more than new, a used gun.. But its upgraded Mr (only a different hop unit and inner barrel from the write up)

Beat me too it ! 😁 yea I know how much I paid for mine new so I know if I was to do these ‘up-grades’ too it I still won’t be anywhere approach this price bracket either .

Yep, me too 

[Rogerborg]

We know that PatrolBase is pretty optimistic about flogging completely non-functional guns for more than sweetie money, but it's just occurred to me: given that they're actually marketing them as "wall hangers", why would the defence for selling them for airsoft skirmishing apply? 🤔

Anybody notice this little issue on another of Andrey's finest offerings - apart from the Two-tone respray and missing selector markings? :

 

Pretty sure those lines should be 90deg to each other....

 

But of course, it's 'new and never skirmished' - despite the shit paint job and the man's finest gunsmiffing skillz to re-shim, AoE correct and radius cut the gearbox.

 

 

 

[MagpieTactical]

 

Sadly not worth anywhere near that IMO.  Probably due to DCAs high initial retail price, and another case of the Tier 1 Upgrade charge mostly being a labour cost, which can't be passed onto the second hand buyer.

Considering most SRC MP5s are advertised as firing at around 1 joule, his repair skills must be pretty shit to get that much of a drop in power

That's TM power, therefore best power.

 

£90 delivered seems fair enough, mind.

[strykerles]

345fps on a .32 and 25rps, surely he jests
