SIX hundred pounds..... absolutely baffling people think they'll sell this for anywhere close to asking.

 

I'm curious how he managed to spend £480 on the rest of kit other than being taken for a ride.

Massive bundle, no less.

"Ideal for Beginners"

 

Because anyone who knows what they're doing wouldn't buy this shit.

He didnt, he knows what its worth but he's hoping to sucker some noob, prob underage, with no ukara, in to thinking he's got a bargain🤑.

Hence why he's selling it on that platform, in the knowledge it won't get pulled or outed🤬

I love usedairsoft. It keeps the dickheads away from here.

 

 

Yes I did just put an airsoft twist on a Jimmy Carr joke

 

 

 

As a user of both I feel personally attacked at this statement...

 

Got some absolute bargains off there though and sold quite a bit.

 

I do better deals to people on here though.

Taking it personally is a good way to lose perspective.

 

I too have found some bargains there but it would be negligent to deny that there are lots of rip-off merchants, try-hards and people clueless to economics of selling airsoft on that site.

Yeah, that's probably true. He didn't name any of the brands so that's probably to prevent you from working out what the kit is actually worth.

 

He hasn't even bothered listing the sizing of the shirt & trousers.

I'm just joshing bud I don't take anything personally on the internet!

 

100% it's full of rip off merchants and chancers, I've seen partially used bottles of average bb's being sold for the price of a full bottle of Geoff's or longbows. Definitely preying on the ill-informed and naive on there in the hopes to get a sale to someone desperate for gear but not having any kind of defence. 

 

No seller on there has ever asked me for any kind of defence but regularly asked on here and prefired.

One of my local sites is selling off their 3 year old, used and abused hire guns: The ever-present nuprol delta pioneers.

 

As in; the things you can buy new for £120 or so. 🙃

I've seen someone buy one at the site. It was a relatively new guy who had no idea about what's good and what's not so he was talking to regulars. Myself and a few others had been chatting with him and letting him handle the different rifles we had so he could see what he did and didn't like. I'm sure we told him to not buy one of those just because it was immediately available and it had likely been battered but he did anyway 🤷‍♂️

Jesus wept. RIFT Airsoft sold its working ex-rental guns for ~£60 at the end of May. The ones with faults went for £20 less or so. 

 

If memory serves, there were some basic Specna Arms M4s and G&G Raiders.

[Markusx0]

Can buy one brand new for £50 more…this andrey fella does always have shit prices though so 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Lyndication]

Lmao he always tools them up then has a note in the description that no accessories are included.

 

Take them off the gun then ya deceitful bugger.

What site is that? Asking so I know to avoid it

[Hudson]

Without being specific, It's up north and has a very world-ending name.

 

It's probably worth avoiding anyway, unless endless HPA and Drum mags in a small, dense arena is your thing.

Drop it another 150 and it'd be a good deal for a beginner.

 

You could easily get all this kit between places like patrol base/socom/action hobbies and eBay/vinted for well under 300 if you had a little bit of patience.

Is that your experience of the site? I've been going well over a year now (I think) and it's nowhere near like what you're making out. There are always one or two special people like that who turn up at every site but the overwhelming majority of players are great and the marshalls make a great effort to correct problematic people but it's very rare there are any. The only time i've had a negative experience there was when a certain team of 4-6 people showed up and decided they were allowed to play by different rules than everyone else.

In that case I probably won't be visiting anyway. Not that I've got anything against northerners, it's just further than I can travel

How far North are we talking?

I'm in Central Scotland & there's still a lot of North past me...

I've not been in about a year or so, but yeah it's pretty much been like that when I've been.

 

Every time I've played there, bar one, has always been in the first paintball-style section closest to the safe zone.

Only once have I ever managed to play in the pines section (and this goes for the last three owners of the site prior to the current lot).

 

When I say HPA & drum mags, I don't mean that they're anything particularly bad or malicious with it, just that there seems to be higher percentage than one would expect (TBF, this seems to be common among most of the sites in the North east; and a large reason why I don't really bother attending any local sites anymore).

 

Games always seemed to be focused on short, fast scenarios where simply putting down rounds and hosing has been the name of the game; followed by everyone returning to the safe zone after every one only to come back out and do it again.

 

I've got nothing against the guys that run it, they've been absolutely fine on a personal level, it's just not been the type of gameplay that interests me, which is why I didn't want to name them; (besides some rather daft pricing for ex hire guns, they've not really done anything wrong, it's just not my flavour of Airsoft).

 

I've been doing this hobby for nearly 30 years, and You could even say Airsoft as a whole has been going this way in the past few years; which means I'm having to travel further and further afield to find somewhere that interests me.

All of the local sites are pretty much the same, so it's not confined just them.

Rather than take the thread further off topic than it already has been, i'll just drop you a DM.
