NI is part of the UK.

 

It's not part of the Mainland as far as RM is concerned.

 

PF applies a 70-150% Surcharge on parcels shipped from Mainland to NI - i've shipped maybe 50 parcels to NI in the past 3 years, you may not think it is the case, it definitively is the case and has been the case for over a decade. 

 

Just like shipping to the Highland or Islands of Scotland is more expensive. They are not within scope for normal Mainland deliveries.

DPD for example, won't even ship to areas of the highlands at all.

I`ve never been charged extra sending parcels from northern ireland to mainland uk with either royal mail or parcelforce. Parcel force 48hr is the same roughly £10 to £15 depending on size and weight and royal mail small parcel tracked 48 is the standard online £3.45 price from ni to mainland uk.

I did not mention anything about how RM view anything; neither did I claim that NI is part of the mainland.  I stated that NI is part of the UK, which it is.
 

Perhaps you would like to argue with something I have actually written.

It can if they're in Northern Ireland. Why when i'm including P&P on sales, I specify "Mainland UK, not NI".

That's a big if though. It's far more likely that if it does sell it'll be to someone in GB

Being a bank holiday weekend, we should have seen this coming.

Asking for £180 used on a Nuprol rifle worth £100-120 new and the seller can't tell M-LOK from Keymod either.

[Cannonfodder]

It's also unusable at 99% of sites

"Nutropol", as used by the International Dietetics Police.

A resprayed two-tone whose handguard looks way off-colour from the rest of the gun, not to mention that the outer barrel is also thread-stripped.

 

Somehow despite the far from pristine form and function, the seller thinks the additional mags, battery and thirteen-in-a-dozen dot sight push the bundle up to on par with Super5ives pricing for the gun brand new (or £30 more than Patrol Base's OoS listing).

Nice to see this joker is back.

You cannot argue against reality.

You almost have to admire his persistence and confidence, even if both of those qualities are the polar opposite of reality.

[Dogsbody100]

I know there’s already some pretty hardline gear being smoked by these Mack’s worthy sellers but this lad must be on some absolute Martian grade space dust to want 750 for that??!!

£750 new though. Technically, TECHNICALLY, he's not entirely taking the piss.

 

PB on the other hand, they ARE taking the piss.

This guy is obviously the only person in the world that knows the real value of these things you dumbos ?

[EvilMonkee]

He falls into the legends category along with Avenger and Leez.  TBH at this stage, and as I have said many times before, just ban these guys they are OBVIOUSLY acting as dealers.

 

He has a Gen 3 GHK AKM here as well for £740.....someone needs to whipser the words 'TM AKM or VFC AK74' into these idiots earholes
