£150 for a re-sprayed, ex-boneyard gun with missing bits (rear sight and stock battery cap) - that used to be sold (until recently) for £120-140 new.....oh, you also have to cover the postage.

 

There's far better BRAND NEW guns for that money.

 

 

 

Poor guy bought a shagged to death gun at NAF and want's his money back, what a poor wee soul.

As a rule I don’t, but…..https://airsoft-forums.uk/classifieds/item/30351-ghk-mk18-mod-0-genuine-aimpoint-comp-m2/

 

Even with the genuine outdated sight and weapon light, it just don’t make sense.

Mmm. Combat Machines were already struggling to make the solid-but-no-frills argument at the £130 price point.  At £180 new (or £150 for a used, shagged out one, plus postage), naaaah, hard pass.

 

Still, nice of him to "cover" fees that the buyer was never paying. ?

stick with your WE then mate I’m sure it’s one of the best gbbrs on the market probably got an element on it thinking you’ve got a steal for 45 quid  when it cost less than 10 on taobao ? oh probably sourcing that “uksf” impression kit from warrior assault systems as well?

[Rogerborg]

 

If I were hoping that someone might pay me eighteen hundred pounds for a toy gun and a sight that won't make it any more accurate than the cheapest Chinesium red dot at airsoft ranges with airsoft accuracy, I reckon I'd make a bit of an effort to come across as a reasonable chap who would be a pleasure do to business with.

 

Of course, other opinions are available.

[Badgerlicious]

Show us on the doll where the repro sight touched you.

Warrior assault systems are so 2000’s, but those who know, well, just know…

[SBoardley]

Also, while it’s cool to have rs sights on rifs, my son has a sig Romeo on his ghk m4 (a2) it does not magically turn your rif into gold. You would be lucky to get £800 for the rif alone, even with the upgrades

I have a tnt combo in my ghk ak. They cost about £120. 
so that leaves  you wanting £1000 for an outdated sight and lamp. You are on crack mate. 

[Hin_1020]

As I said, I will be willing to split or take a good offer, just not offering 300gbp for the whole package something like that. And we’ll I’m just testing the market price really, am in no hurry to sell. I know sig Romeo’s are a good sight, I also love my holosuns, but the Aimpoint is a rare find nowadays and only seeing if someone that genuinely wants the old school vibes as a collection piece and that is 100% skirmish-able. True I agree 1800 is over the top and I am thinking of lowering it or splitting, thanks for the advice chaps

Only £400 for a rifle that's £250 new!

I have the shorter version of the same rifle and if this is classed as "fully" upgraded, mine is "over" fully upgraded

 

Got mine for £250 on offer from LWA, after putting another roughly £200 in I still wouldn't ask £450 for it.

 

Maybe it's the extra length or to cover what DCA charged for it ?

Adds 50% to the retail price, legit.

Same. 

 

I sold mine for around 220 a month ago which was fully upgraded admittedly without a smart MOSFET system. 

 

Didn't exactly get snatched up immediately either.

 

This is a rip off.

Looking to sell for £950 for collection from Kingdom of Airsoft in Dundee

 

That looks rather peculiar.  So, is this being sold by KoA?  Like, retail, with a warranty?  Or is a customer gun that still there and he doesn't want / can't afford it, and they're happy to sell it on his behalf? I'm almost interested enough to ask.

Doesn't want someone coming to his house so using the local shop as a meeting point?

 

Either way, you'd want more than 'has a leviathan' to justify that kind of price for a RIF that costs a lot less than that new and needs the charging handle fixing.

The KoA Longsword package is quite pricey https://www.kingdomofairsoft.com/product-page/koa-ultimate-recoil-package-the-longsword

In fairness I've done this before at one of my local shops as a mutual meeting ground, the buyer got to test it at the shop as well and a lot safer than meeting in a local tesco car park

Eh. If it's mint, and you really wanted one, with that stock, and extra mags, and don't want to do a 5 minutes per mag operation, it's maybe a bit cheaper than buying new.  It's not like airsoft warranties are more than a coin-flip anyway.  TM, innit, u git wut u pay4.
