I'll continue to reduce it on the advice of the moderation team. This was actually proposed by them a little while ago so you have them to thank and me to scorn for being too busy to action it properly.

There you go 😜

What do you guys think about this listing

Maybe I cannot see the pictures.  Does it say what upgrades the Mk23 has? 

 

Because it is an ASG I think it is worth less than a TM one.  If it does not seem right walk away.

Nothing other than fully upgraded.

A brand new ASG with all the upgrades and extra mag would be less than that at retail iirc.

Nope, nope, nope.

Call me cynical, but when buying gats s/h I've stayed away from the likes of prefired etc, much preferring the forums such as this one, feedback systems, trading history etc all seems reassuring easy to find compared to pure selling sites, even the fact that if you have ANY concerns it's piss easy to contact other members who they've dealt with to get the skinny on them.

am I the only one that sees it this way ?

I'm with you on this too... forums such as this or Z1 and Arnies (not so much these days) are the only ones I know/use.. Trust the community (well most anyway)...

Nope I'm exactly the same bud.

 

This forum has a great community, and I have the good fortune of only receiving a great experience from either buying or selling to members here.

That reminds me I need to start selling some stuff that I've amassed over the years... I'm just waiting to unlock a life time achievement and making the Mack's cut... 🤪

I keep trying, I’ve only made it as a comparison sale so far, not sure it really counts 😂😂

Agree, ive only bought one gat 2nd hand from usedairsoft.co.uk and even then I travelled two hours out of my way to pick it up because without the trader history, community rep etc. Etc. I can’t part with anything over £100-£200 without buying in-person, test firing, talking with the seller etc to make sure I’m not dealing with a dreamer (The “FULLY UPGRADED” type; meaning they welded a fire selector on and threw a load of Nuprol parts in it)
 

(This is only my opinion) but 1 in every 3 adverts on prefired, usedairsoft and such seems like a dreamer selling overpriced pea-shooters or a scammer...

 

I know everyone has different experiences buying from different sites but unless there’s a community / forum kind-of-thing built around it, I don’t like parting with a lot of cash hoping that a seller is legitimate and not having to fight with PayPal to get a refund...

As has been pointed out, your asking price is a little steep. 

 

On a personal note, I also wouldn't be advertising the gun was taken off you by the police.
