Classic example of buyer's remorse and wanting to cut his losses.

 

I hope he's paying VAT at those prices.

£400 for a gearbox supposedly new and never installed, with no warranty etc or for an extra £10 you can get one that IS new and never installed... https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/gate-eon-complete-v2-gearbox-with-titan-ii-bluetooth-expert-short-stroke---350-fps--12j-approx

 

Hmmmmm

Why is everything always listed as "never used" or "used a couple times". Apparently nobody ever skrims their kit anymore

Because people are more likely to sell things they can't see themselves using.

I have on multiple time bought a gun or bit of kit go nah and put it up for sale before fielding it. I may or may not have sales threads with this being the case.

I currently have four guns I've never skirmished (yet) and loads more bits and knick knacks that I've bought because they seemed like a good idea, tried once or twice and then consigned to the drawer of doom (final resting place of three different flip to side magnifiers for example).

[Cr0-Magnon]

I've sold loads of genuinely unskirmished guns. Even amongst the RIF's I have left:

 

G&G MBR556 DMR - Not skirmished since Negative Airsoft last worked on it.

CYMA Platinum Daniel Defence - Skirmished one morning session since Negative Airsoft upgraded.

WE Beretta M9 - Not skirmished

Tanaka Colt Python - Not skirmished

AAP with upgrades - Not skirmished

 

....actually yeah, maybe I do just need to play more 😄

Someone didn't rent for their first few games and is now suffering buyer's remorse

Mmm, the 51X series work OK, but the plastic is made of recycled Battlefield Earth action figures.  One to keep in the bottom of the bag as a backup-backup-backup-backup gun.

I thought it was the plastic tray from chocolate boxes. It's a shame really as the internals are great  which reminds me I really should get round to pulling the gearbox out of my old one to  put in the PDW

You’d think at £400 he’d at least have the decency to take pictures of what he’s trying to sell. Abysmal

[Cannonfodder]

Isn't using stock photos in sales threads against forum rules?

It is, I've narced on the advert.

[Enid_Puceflange]

Now, this doesn’t deserve a mention here for its price etc

But more the logic I’m trying to understand…….

 

Am I right in thinking , that if he gets a “bite” on this sooner rather than later the seller is willing to reduce the price more willingly , other than sitting on it for months and keeping the price the same? 🤷🏻‍♂️

im reading that more like if you can pay / collect today then the price is negotiable but if you’re a “hold it till payday” dreamer then the price stated  is the price to be paid 👍🏼

Feck me, I have un-camouflaged shoe laces, this must be why I get shot so often.   What a schoolboy error!   I am ashamed.

 

£15, cheap at twice / half / twelvety [delete as applicable] the price!

We're both wearing the same boots, it's proof!

 

We should inform the MoD that their combats boots will get their troops killed.   
They might give us a medal!

"Look at me, guys! I bought an airsoft gun to use at a field but I didn't realise I would have to actually pay money to play at a site, nor did I factor in travel when I don't even have a car. I didn't have the patience to wait for a UKARA defence so I flouted the law and did a piss-poor job of removing the blue paint. £100 reflects the regret I have in not researching, planning and asking around before investing so much into something that didn't work out. I think that price is reasonable even though you can buy the same RIF brand new without my 'custom' paint removal for the same price"
