Where to start?

Cyma never did a MP5 SD6 in their platinum range,

It's priced the same as new, 

Listed as new but isn't by their own admission,

Last but not least the classic of saying it's had upgrades but no mention of what or by who

 

 

 

 

Pretty sure it's not February any more either.

[Cannonfodder]

Well spotted

We got a "selling it for a mate" here

£700 new, x3 extra mags is £210 and the hop unit is £53. More than 70% of retail and can't be arsed to even prove it has a maple leaf hop unit for his friend 🙄

[Cannonfodder]

Not as big a dreamer as above but that's still pretty much retail price

Frankly hilarious price for a VFC V2 AR that's three years old and has a couple of aftermarket parts installed.

Starting to see a reoccurring theme of "super rare" = "super shit" and or "super overpriced"

Does that mean my M190 from circa 2005 is worth thousands because it's super rare? It is kinda shit but I won't tell prospective buyers that...

 

I'm sat on a gold mine boys 🥳

Instead of “it’s kinda shit” you say “it’s a great base to upgrade”

That only works if upgrades actually fit and work in it... HFC thought it would be great to clone the TM then make it completely out of spec so fuck all fits... It's why I have to keep buying M190s every so often to cannibalize for parts to keep it going 😂

 

Definitely selling it well...

Look at all the customisation going on...

So custom the seller doesn't know what's inside!

He still doesn't know what's inside it when he relisted

Seems a bit dodgy to me at £300…

 

Base gun (Assuming it’s a gen 3 but no mention of that) is £550

Looks to be a HAO mlok handguard, £200 over here new 

HW S1 Eotech £140 over here

Sotac NGAL again over here £150

 

So just over £1k and excluding any “internal upgrades” as nothing was shown or mentioned for £300. I bet he asks for bank transfer or F&F 🤔

[Fatboy40]

Around £90+ spent on parts but never dealt with the prime problem with the Firehawk 🙄 (its absolutely shit mechanical trigger, which leads to jams on semi, so it just needs a basic optical controller / ETU with cycle control and then its a great CQB AEG)...

And now the listing's gone again. I don't think it's a coincidence that the listings disappear after they're called out here. 😁

Slapping a real Eotech on a two tone rattle machine is… different.

 

“Basically brand new” and “used 3 times”… not really brand new then is it? Do people still want Tippmanns given parts are next to unavailable when something inevitably goes wrong with it?

That's what I suspected. Didn't Tippmann go under a few years ago? Meaning it's at least that old and if only used 3 times then it's been sat gathering dust so I'd be wondering what condition the o rings are in.

 

If parts weren't as rare as a politician with honest intentions it would be quite a good deal

I remember these coming out when I started playing over 12 years ago, so they are a fairly dated design and one of the first HPA out the box set ups. 

 

It definitely isn't brand-new if used 3 times, more lightly used like new. 

 

Also forgot to add why not post more images of everything like the eotech all we see is a box and no actual pictures of the sight so we don't know the condition of that or if the optics are starting to delaminate.

Forgot some info.

There’s been a few people trying to reproduce the important parts etc but ultimately no idea if that ever came to fruition. Tippmanns seem to sit around for a while now as GBBR’s are reliable and Daytona kits are “more viable” so the selling point of a tippmann being an Aeg with recoil is gone. Tippmanns also seem to be relatively easy to break due to the nature of them. Overall they’re a hot mess that warrants avoiding unless you have more money than sense 😂
