Who did the paint removal, Stevie Wonder?

[Tackle]

Don't save money by buying new, buy secondhand & pay double🤣

He's got a damaged pistol that's an absolute bargain too😏

Which is also unusable in games if the stated fps is to be believed

When your gun doesn't sell for the same as retail price most people would reduce the price. Not this guy, he relisted it for £20 more

I've taken pity on the chap and told him what he should actually be asking.  I await the "I noew wut its wurth all day long m8".

I didn't. His only posts are sales posts (both of which are Mack's material) and has made no effort to bring anything to the forum so is fair game for a piss taking

 

Edit: especially as he listed   things as extras which come with the gun anyway

£100 collected only. "Brand new" but no warranty, or... £92 brand new with warranty, directly to your door from patrolbase.

Come on, m8, play the game, m8, make me an offer, m8, you know how it's played, m8.

Some one is selling a FMA Fast SF Helmet for £75

https://airsoft-forums.uk/classifieds/item/43958-fma-fast-sf-helmet-black-ml/

 

when you can buy it new for £49

 

https://www.apextacgear.com/products/copy-of-fma-ballistic-aramid-thick-and-heavy-version-helmet-acu-tb1321-tb1322

 

That’s a bargain (for the seller not the buyer that is 😉

 

Update: Looks like you would need to pay a bit of Shipping but you can still get it slightly cheaper from AliExpress.

All these different helmets are confusing. Is there a page that shows all the different variations and what the differences are?

Advice acknowledged and reposted at a more realistic price, minus the potential fire hazard charger

"Look at me, guys! I bought an airsoft gun to use at a field but I didn't realise I would have to actually pay money to play at a site, nor did I factor in travel when I don't even have a car. I didn't have the patience to wait for a UKARA defence so I flouted the law and did a piss-poor job of removing the blue paint. £100 reflects the regret I have in not researching, planning and asking around before investing so much into something that didn't work out. I think that price is reasonable even though you can buy the same RIF brand new without my 'custom' paint removal for the same price"

"Hello, boys. I'M BACK! I'm reusing the old photos so the bad job I did of illegally removing the paint is less obvious."

£860 for a Mk4 Osprey and pouches - punted on a place where people have no clue at the best of times, royally taking the piss regardless.

 

Edit: vinted staff deleted it, as its a prohibited item either way.

clarification on deadlink, because forgot to screenshot before vinted staff deleted it.

One for £150 that only shoots full auto

It's a miracle!  Praise be to the Lord!

"Only shoots full auto right now but it can be fixed and I dont have the time"

 

Tbh I'm more surprised that a fault described as an easy fix actually was

[GiantKiwi]

That site is just filled with gems - must be because of the spelling, but there are no bargains in that bargian bin, only piss takes.

Apparently, they are two different guns.

Yet both adverts use the same photos. Compare the position of the knots in the wooden flooring and it's obvious they used the same image in each advert

The £200 gun

Now the £150 gun

Indeed; they are exactly the same photos, which I checked before commenting on his posts; his reply was "They are different rifs one has full auto only but the other has semi and full auto but obviously they look the exact same".

Then might it be fairer to say that it's claimed that they're different, but apparent that they're not?

 

For one thing, if I were selling two guns like that, I'd mention the alternative gun in each advert to increase my chance of finding an interested buyer.

[Cannonfodder]

Well he says they're 2 different guns but provides bugger all evidence to back up his claims. This to me is a massive red flag

It might indeed be fairer to say that; I was using 'apparently' somewhat ironically.

Agreed.

£200 for an SA80 Z mount 🤣

[Hudson]

No idea what it is, no idea what's wrong with it, but it can be yours for only £230!

 

As long as you pick it up yourself.
