It's essentially worthless, as TM aren't making parts for them and no aftermarket because cybergun owns the license - and its always the slide that breaks.

He may have paid more in the past but this rifle has been below £100 for over a year.

Could be worse

These were up for £28 plus p&p 😂. Once I informed the idiot you can get them new for £14 she decided to reduce them to still more than what they cost for a fresh bag. 

[Amokura]

Even if it were listed for less than £1, not touching it with that second storage bag...

Ridiculous prices like that are the reason I don't even bother with ebay anymore.

£1300, leaky mags, no buyer protection and wants you to collect it too.

Looking at his other ads I think his MO is to want stupid money

I appreciate the seller may have been burned by other people but Christ alive, why project that bitterness on to prospective buyers?

"I don't have the time to list every single individual item"

 

Nor do you have the inclination to show pictures of what you're selling to justify the price or even specify if the quantity of BBs you're selling and if the bottles/bags are complete.

 

A lot of that stuff is worth that much brand new but only if you listed brand names...

With the new VFC AK out now, and GHK’s with iffy QC for a while, I think GHK owners who want out will have to take a bath.

I nearly bought it but there are zero mags available anywhere.  I am waiting till the second run due in Jan when all the minor kinks are ironed out.

His excuses don’t add up to me. sounds like the courier has lost two guns and he’s expecting PayPal to have helped him somehow…

 

I could sympathise with him not wanting to post the RIF after that experience… but PayPal have no control over the postal system and will always side with the buyer if the goods never arrive.

 

on the flip side, what he’s saying is - if it doesn’t arrive, he’s keeping the money and the the buyer is done for.

[Cannonfodder]

The part which gets me is that he's happy to accept f&f. Surely someone who is anti PayPal wouldn't use them at all

Don't forget that under section 29 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 any parcel is the seller's responsibility until it's in the buyer's possession (leaving it on the doorstep doesn'tcount). If anything does go wrong then it's the seller's responsibility to chase it up with the courier. 

 

Edit: apologies for the double post. I thought the forum would automatically merge them both

I was hoping to avoid a triple post, but then I saw this. £800 for a ghillie suit

Maybe it's made from "gold leaf" 😏

(The precious metal, not the tobacco😜)

[Cannonfodder]

His other sales posts, while not so stupidly priced, are just as bad for the descriptions. Eg make: sniper model:hpa

Tobacco... I'm sure it's of the wacky variety.

[Cannonfodder]

You'd have to be on something to think that's a reasonable price
