You'd think, after a month of this just not shifting, they'd already the price down

You see, that would require logic and common sense. You’re expecting too much!

I was going to write loads about this but it’s 2am. Idk anyone who’d spend £600 on a second hand hicapa 🙈 the few who might, are all part of the same circle and know this lad 🤣

 

dreaming? Yes.

[Lyndication]

They always look so crap as well 😕

[MistakenMexican]

See the other hicapa that he thinks is better…

[Lyndication]

Fuck me that could gag a maggot

I wouldn't spend six pence on a hicapa.

Nowt wrong with a bog standard tm, does everything asked of it for a reasonable price, & looks good.

But the silly money some people ask, they'd have to pay me to take it away.

Another one only signing up to try and sell their tat for almost the same price as new. Roll on September and all the kids go back to school

At least he followed rule 5 😂

£70 for a painted CTR stock or £75 for a brand new CTR stock https://www.surplusstore.co.uk/magpul-ctr-carbine-mil-spec-rifle-stock-black.html

 

Tough call that…

[Lyndication]

It's not even nearly a good paint job. I think the can was running out

[Austeyr]

Seems all of his listings are taking the piss. Gate titan for £100, £109 brand new from PatrolBase

Magpul AFG in the same horrible paint scheme £25, £29 brand new from LandWarrior

 

Action Army 45k motor for £60 or a brand new one from Cage Airsoft (Who tend to be expensive af) for £68

 

The only “good” deal is the acetech tracer but again in a horrible paint job (Not that I can talk, looking at the hideous g36 I bought…)

Gop Tac for more than double the new price? You can still get the Hoodies for £44 from Airsoft Zone.

And Mordor Tac's quality is really crap.

£420-ish to buy it brand new from Taiwan, yeah.

 

Twice that if you buy in-country, so I guess it comes down to whether you think importing is 2spooky or not.

The fuck is this dude smoking?

I had a quick sale listing for £280 for a GBB SR16 build with 6 mags. This dude offers me £170 for the gun, attachments and ONE magazine.

We finalise on a deal where I offer £210 and said I'd throw an extra mag in.

 

Cut to today, this geezer messages me saying I've essentially scammed him by nocking him down 7 mags? I don't even have 7 mags! 

 

Asking £210 for a GBB with 6 mags is beyond insane, especially for a listing that is asking £280 for it all. Wtf!

 

The handguard I can understand, however it was mentioned in the listing that it was missing a grub screw.

 

He's now threatening going to PayPal for a refund! How am I supposed to get out of this!

You have the message receipts of the deal so if he does dispute it, that should be enough evidence to side with you...

However the "experts" at PayPal may read your message as "Pay me 210 for everything and I'll give you one extra magazine" which this highly intelligent individual also seemed to think you meant. Re-reading the conversation I can kind of see where he got the miscommunication from.

 

Offer for him to return the replica to you in the same condition it was received and tell him you'll issue a refund excluding fees and postage if he's dissatisfied, 9 times out of 10 that's enough to dissuade them from seeking action AND if he refuses then you have further evidence to prove you did try to handle the situation and he, the buyer, refused your help if he does open a dispute

Ive offered him to return it and have it fixed free of charge. He's declined every time I've offered it (4 times now) and is still being a bit of an arse about the mags. I've never been in such a situation before with PayPal. My primary issue is I don't have that money as I've had to take an emergency trip for family reasons hence I was selling it cheap
