LOL, I check too. I guess some sellers need to try and justify their asking price.

PB's boneyard section always makes me chuckle. £340 + postage for a non functional BOLT, anyone?

You could pair it with this broken clone of a clone "Glock" for "just" £90.

DA FUQ ?, stupid prices for what is essentially secondhand & broken. 

What I don't get is they offer repair & upgrade tech services, why the fudge aren't they correcting these faults themselves ?, yep I know it's a "profit thing" lol, but it doesn't exactly inspire confidence in their tech services. 🤔

Again, I guess someone is paying the asking price eventually, but....second-hand and non functional, save a whole £55 off the brand new & working price:

 

Evolution Airsoft BY-101963 - E-416 10" CQB AEG w/ETS. III (patrolbase.co.uk)

I'd assume that they've found from experience that optimistic buyers will pay as much for a "totally fucked but might be a simple fix" wall hanger as for a used but notionally working gun.  I actually appreciate the honesty in their descriptions - nobody can say they're not being fairly warned.

Saw the price and assumed this would be "fully-upgraded"...turns out it's stock.

 

I then tried to count how many optics and tracer units it came with, but kept running out of fingers and toes....

Ideal if people want to HPA it or fully redo the internals too, to be fair. Saves them a little bit of money than buying brand new

Bespoke Airsoft are also guilty of strange pricing logic. They have two A&K Masada. One that is electrically dead, stock release broke, selector missing and second one that works but the selector is 'broke' and 'needs a service' but they're both priced exactly the same at £148.20.

 

The only retailer i've seen good boneyard/used prices from is ActionHobbies.

Patrolbase and other retailers are absolute mad regarding boneyard prices. Who is gonna pay hundreds of pounds for a paper weight? They need a reality check. It's not like they pay retail prices anyway...🤣

My point is that they've being doing this long enough to have figured out that it's buyers who have the problem with reality, not them.  It's not like it's even "or nearest offer", it's take-it-or-leave-it, and some folk are taking it.

Here's how I read that:

 

"Used £265 gun in unknown condition.  [Charlie Brown wah-wah-wah noises]. £700, won't split, buyer must collect".

I personally would rather buy one that's brand new. 

Don't bother, I have one & they're shite.
