Seems to have followed the upper side of your suggestion now.

He should be giving it away in order to atone for that cover on the settee.

No mention of the "£400 of upgrades" or that it was done by Bomb Up Airsoft any more, just a "what you see is what you get" without saying if the PEQ box is functional or not or being specific about the trigger.

Not sure this is in the spirit of the thread but it made me laugh.  Do you reckon they’re level 4 plates?!

Perhaps the seller will be willing to demonstrate it.

The dream: "Why would anyone pay £100 for a RIF at retail when they can buy my two-tone jobbie for £120?"

The dream: "I'm doing everyone a favour. I'm knocking off a tenner from my two-tone. It doesn't matter that the brand new RIF is still less expensive."

£400 for a cyma boltie ?

Almost 100% markup on a new one! - https://www.davescustomairsoft.co.uk/cyma-cm-700a-m40a3-sniper-rifle-olive

 

 It doesn't even include the scope ?

And its not like Dave's is exactly the most competitively priced UK shop.....

[BigStew]

So for the price of a new one buy a broken gun in bits

I do wonder if most sellers realise that, unless you happen to align on a very specific niche set of aesthetics, to most buyers a custom paint job or engraving is the same as having a gun with damaged externals.

£90 + delivery for a two-tone where not only is the brand new RIF £70 + delivery, he helps us out by saying where he bought it.

 

https://jdairsoft.net/asg-mk23-stealth-assassin

 

Does he want the buyer to cover the cost of the two-tone he paid for but has since been scuffed/partly flaked off?

 

Shop around a little more and you can get the ASG MK 23 for even less.

Every two dozen pages or so of Macks we mention it....

 

As you say it's real niche to have similar tastes, I of the funnier ones I've seen added c.£100 and listed paints and labour to what ever they were selling

[Stryderb]

"Dose have a couple chips on the bottom of the mag well

Brand new used once’s. I still have the receipt"

 

So damaged and not brand new then. And more expensive than new.

I assume it's the DE M63 version of the SPAS-12. He may have bought it at a higher price but he's probably not aware that the 70% rule applies to current pricing. Prices have come down since then as you can get the gun for under £40 brand new.

Even the bundle JBBG offers is more competitively priced.

The worst part is that he's describing it as a gas powered shotgun.

Is it wrong that I'm tempted to sign up just to ask where the gas goes in it?

[Hudson]

I did it for you ?

£235 brand new, yours for £300.

Reused and recompressed pictures that don't show "barely any wear" because the image quality has been visibly lost.

 

For greater peace of mind, you can get the pistol from retailers for the same price!

At least this time it's the same price as new. His only other listing is from 4 months ago for the same pistol at £120

Especially when said paint job looks like it was done by a drunk 6 year old
