Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

[Rogerborg]

A £520 readily available gun which apparently still needed a £335 kit thrown at it (complete with a spring that puts it over 500fps, but it's £335 worth of art, not science). Add in three £18.50 magazines, maybe £15 of rubber and nub, and a £33 suppressor.

 

Now, you or I might make that £958, but the seller reckons they spent over a grand, or maybe £1300 (£1000 before the £335 kit?), it's not really clear.

 

Anyway, they'll do you a favour and let it go for a very fair £940.  With a whopping £18 saving (less postage) over the price of a brand new warranted gun with the same spec, you'd better hurry and snap it up before someone else does.

I fucking hate bulk package stuff where they want to sell everything all at once. Not only are they usually never cheap, but what are the chances of a single person wanting 43 different random items?

 

That being said when I first got into Airsoft I got a package deal on ebay, a huge box of random pouches, batteries, eye pro, and bits including a plate carrier.

 

Didnt know hat any of it was at the time and relisted most of it separately and got double what I paid for the box just for the PC  

 

Got lucky I guess

Holy shitballs!
That is extracting the proverbial good and proper!

I feel everyone who puts someone in here, should either message the original poster or tag them atleast. if they respond, like i did, they may not realize its not as easy as saying I spent £1000 so its worth £1000

And about 95% of them will be a Dick about it, prob taking it personally & getting all arsey.

Thing is, most of the time these sales posts appear to be from relatively new users, who's sole reason for joining the forum is to use the classifieds to shift their overpriced rifs, prob cos their usually fb pages are no longer allowing rifs, & the likelihood is that they'll not contribute to the forum in any other way, so whether or not we give them a heads up that they're being "outed" is prob irrelevant, they're likely to have spammed their sales thread on every other forum they can find that gives them the same kind of ease of access.

If they're a "true" member, they're likely to see the post when they click "unread posts" looking for new content.

imho?

That, and the rest.  I'm not putting time into trying to reason with someone who's displayed unreasonable behaviour.  All it's likely to result in is an edit to shriek "NO MOAR TIEM WASTARS!!!!"

Maybe not for obvious people that are here to shift it. But for people that have seemed to post atleast. I just think some people don't know

[Rogerborg]

Please don't be so reasonable and adult in a thread about childish  mockery.

 

[Druid799]

Well we have another ‘chancer’ it would seem ?

AND only £49.86 with good old TG ! ?‍♂️

[Duff]

Why do people spend all this time, money and effort into building a custom rif then expect to get paid what they value it at? Why build it for you then sell it to someone else?

WE glocks go for about £80 off the top of my head now...(I've got one I'm tempted to shift so been looking at what I should ask for it)

Oooohh ! That’s nasty ?

Unfortunately this chap has fallen foul like so many others , just because you spend X amount ‘up-grading’ your NOT getting it back ! 

There like Pavlov’s dog and it’ll keep on repeating as long as there’s sales ! ?‍♂️

I think i just did! ill stick my Glock up on the classifieds later this week and go with a price of £400 as it was stippled by me and not factory done so surely that makes it more expensive...

it is starting at 99p though!

 

If I won it at that could easily sell the mags at a few quid each and make a profit.

Didnt notice the P&P... I did notice that the business address is some sort of surplus store.

Given everything else in it, I assumed that the mags would have the springs removed and be full of either fire ants, or the restless spirits of deceased P90 owners.

£150 for two daysacks which might have some interesting stuff in them. Loot Boxes have really turned it up a notch.
