But just look at how much quality you're getting with that charger!!!!!

 

 

Not too sure about the carpet though.   ooof.

[Enid_Puceflange]

Dunno if the price is sensible, but the stated “hardly any marks anywhere” made me chuckle, looks like they used an Angle Grinder to adjust the bolts!

£30 brand new, in that condition I’d pay a tenner, £15 max personally. Did make me double check when I read it saying excellent condition with the screws looking like they came out of WWI

[Mr Dellski]

Oh no, ok, my bad, was sitting there doing loads of stuff I found in the drawer.

Will amend Accordingly ??

Was on a bit of a roll earlier with all those Magpul bits and pieces and just copied and pasted from the FDE one I also popped on there.

That’ll learn me to pay more attention. ??‍♂️ 

Not the sort to try and pull fast ones on peeps anywhere!

Thank you guys for pulling my attention to my post ??

I’ve not had a proper look over that section yet.. sounds like there might be some right old horror stories in there ?…

There are, and hilarious examples of lesser people not doing what you did but digging their heels in...some of those I would expect to show up in /aita threads on Reddit

Going to have to take some time and have a look over that. Sounds like it’ll be an eye opener…

It's all props to Mack's rally for most of my understanding of the Airsoft 2nd market, which many others with other crippling expensive hobbies will say is probably a microcosm of most hobby 2nd hand markets....

No worries. The fact you've taken onboard what's been posted and adjusted the price accordingly shows you're not an arse. Far too often the poster digs their heels in and refuse to accept any criticism and wonder why their trashed pos gun (usually listed 'as new') won't sell for the same as new

Same here. It also makes me avoid airsofthub and used airsoft as they're both a hotbed of overpriced tat

It's only right mate.

I've no time for blaggers myself. As soon as that discrepancy was brought to my attention, was rectified.

 

World is full of ??'s and I don't intend on being one ?

70% of retail for a two-tone. That's optimistic.

It looks like our old friend still hasn't heeded advice that he is is mislabelling his gun as something by Specna Arms despite numerous people pointing out with evidence that it is almost certainly a Cyma product.

 

He's jacked up the price too above retail. I hate to cast aspersions but how can one lack a basic understanding of supply and demand economics?

Makes a waffly post but provides no photos of the Mk 23 or the Gate Titan he mentions for sale. Instead the picture features an AW Hi-Capa.

[gavinkempsell]

rare???

[Galvatron]

From a WhatsApp used airsoft gear group.

 

He paid £530 but didn't consider rentals or buying something cheap to invest in getting UKARA so he could avoid two-tone?

He'll be disappointed with his offers but as I assume he isn't a UKARA member, is he not stitching himself up by offering to respray a two-tone unless he still uses a bright colour?

[GiantKiwi]

Not exactly a steal - £500 in total new if you used the most expensive retailers in UK & Ireland, these things are being sold off left, right and centre ffs. At best £250, £330 is a few steps into lalaland if not doing posting and fees included (which is not)

Hi there, i have a heavily modded AEG for sale, looking for offers

 

i have spent around £600 overall on the gun, with upgrades including new trigger, precision inner barrel, new motor, MOSFET, high quality bucking and nub, finely tuned hop up system.

Overall 335 fps

This gun has a high rate of fire, is powerful and will take out targets across any range, can be used indoor and out

 

Unspecified upgrades? Check

Horrible 2tone? Check

No details? Check

Crack inspired price point? Check

CBA to actually post in Classifieds? Check

Eventually reposts in correct place. Check

Claims 335 fps on.25s. Check

Apparently 370+ fps on .2s. Check

Too hot to run on UK sites. Check

 

Congratulations thats a solid Mack's entry right there and on your first ever forum post no less.

Did you not see that he has posted it in classified, with details?

If we needed another reason why stating joules rather than fps is important, his admission that the 335fps is on 0.25g BBs puts it at above 1.3J so he's selling an airsoft gun that could land him and/or the buyer in serious trouble.
