3 bottles of Nuprol green gas for £40? I was able to get 3 (none of which were opened) for £33 from one of my local retailers and that was before my 10% membership discount was applied.

From the looks of it one did....

Our man who was dreaming of his overpriced and deceitful G&G gun is back with another dream.

He's not declared the brand so I suspect that it's the CYMA/EMG Daniel Defense version of the Mk 18, which is a couple of hundred quid less expensive than TM's version.

 

I priced up the other bits I can see from and in total I've got ~£770 for the CYMA Mk18, two additional STANAG mags, the Theta Optics RDS, a DBAL-A2 & torch and a mock suppressor, all brand new. From which body cavity did he pull £780 for all of this gear used?

 

I'll put my hand up if I've got the gun and pricing wrong.

The seller is pretty divorced from reality if he thinks his two-tone is worth £20 more than retail for the RIF alternative.

What is he flogging?  "Air soft rifle" isn't much help.  Red sticker, windowed magazine, I'm guessing some sort of SRC/"Bulldog" or NURPOL vendor trash.

No mention of the missing flash hider and then there's this

 

"Not performance orientated."

 

That sounds to me like it's knackered and they don't know what's wrong with it

In his weak defence, ASG specifies a very low energy rating itself.

My biggest issue is the seller's lack of openness that just because it is a plinker, that doesn't mean it's skirmishable. Some poor not so knowledgeable newbie may not understand they're not getting a bargain but being exploited.

I guess it's the CYMA CM.507 but as you said, his item description is as helpful as a bunghole on your elbow.

Wow, that is low powered. I agree that not mentioning that it's unsuitable for skirmishing is a dick move too.
