yes it’s basically new as it’s been test fired and that’s it

 

As soon as it's fired, even one BB, it's no longer new. Much like when you buy a new car, the moment it's taken off the forecourt it's no longer new.

Ye it’s 2 tone but it’ll cost little to no money to change the furniture

Still money your potential buyer has to pay, meanwhile other MWS's on here are being sold (Not two toned) with NPAS's fitted etc for £450. Also using your own argument, why have you not changed out the two toned furniture? Fire support sell the same handguard (but in black) for £70, that's £70 somebody else has to pay to get rid of the blue handguard.

coming with a z parts 11.5 steel outer barrel which was about £70 not including shipping to get it

The potential buyer has to also want that barrel otherwise it's useless tat to them, you'd be better splitting that separately. 

 

You can get a brand new MWS from HPA-UK right now for £475. To get your MWS, even with the steel barrel, you'd be spending £80 odd to replace the handguard and stock, meaning you'd be paying £5 more for a preowned MWS with a barrel you probably don't want, when you can buy one certified brand new for £5 less

3 hours between Sithnix joining the forum and appearing in "Mack's" is that a new record?

And I’m still trying to figure how out £400 is a bad asking price, I spoke in the mws chat on discord and everyone said that’s reasonable. 🤷‍♂️

How many people buy a mws and not change the furniture, most people have builds planned out that will chage the whole look. I see your point about it not being new the moment a bb is fired but the reason I said “basically new” is so people know it’s not been used beyond a few test firing. And the reason I haven’t change the rail etc myself is because I had a build planned and decided to switch to a vfc for said build instead. I needed to rethread the upper to take real steel Midwest industries rail, so I never got around to it yet before I decided to switch to a vfc. If you think the price is unfair then you could just say in a dm, dunno why everyone had to freak out and post it here. Like I said the mws chat are fine with the price I listed. I’m just gonna keep it anyways, to much hassle to sell and I paid £600 for it, so if I can’t even get £400 without it being “unreasonable” then I may as well just do the build I had planned and get a vfc for a separate build.

Mate, without even looking at your ad, to claim something is "new", but has had 100+ bb's through it, & more importantly, has absolutely no warranty is horseshit.

As for the price, as long as I've been playing, around 24 years, secondhand sales have always been priced at between 60-75% of the cheapest readily available rrp (depending on certain factors), where does yours come in those parameters ?.

As for ending up on macks, this is, & always was, the only forum that allows members to critique prices (from any source), its not a personal attack on the sellers themselves usually, just on what people unrealistically believe their items are worth.

Sometimes its a lighthearted giggle, but sometimes its also an exercise in preventing less knowledgeable people getting turned over, which to be fair, should be welcomed.

Welcome to the forum 😉

Sorry to break it to you bud but people lie. Not saying/accusing you of lying, but people do lie. I could sell my PKM that's had 100k rounds through it, put in the title "Almost brand new" and chances are people wouldn't know the difference (But that's scummy and tackle would bully me for it)

That's literally what this channel is for lol

MWS brand new: £475

Barrel (Not sure which you had but we'll use your £70)

Due to the two-tone you'll be the lower end of the typical margin at 60% so...

60% of £545 = £327 

65% of £545 = £354.25

 

So, £400 for a two toned MWS with the barrel is unreasonable by typical pre-owned sales

This is such a null point, there's a lot of people buying MWS's and keeping them stock because they like the look...

Love it when they come here to greet about it as if anyone cares 👀😆

200 rounds isn't test firing either...

Probably already mentioned but just like cars, take it off the lot and it's value declines. Same thing applies here 🤦

I could hear that plastic creaking in my head. Did someone buy a BB Guns 4 Less mystery box?

Reckon my neighbours toddler could build something with better quality than most those rifles

 

Haven't seen anything made of paper thin plastic in many years

To be fair, one looks like a cyma combat machine and I think the other M4 is a cyma aswell

Pistol is a cyma pea shooter 10000%

Edit: I take that back*

(It's definitely some cheap shit)

This is pretty damn cool but completely unusable at 99% of sites in the UK

 

Id still buy it though 🤫
