I assume it's a fishing expedition to see if:

 

1) The forum allows and then doesn't delete it sharpish (ruh roh)

 

2) Any gangsta geezas are daft enough to bite on that bait.

 

Bad news either way, if the steely eye of the State is turning towards our toys.  I've used the contact form to flag it.

I had a look for a report button etc but found nothing, didn't think to do that. Definitely a dodgy listing 😂

[rj1986]

It took them about a month to realise the site was down. Wouldn't hold my breath tbh

[sonofsammo]

So £330 for the rifle and £15 for the lipo - £345
So 2/3 puts it more like £228
So about £100 over priced, unless I'm missing something?

Definitely deserves a spot here. I'd like to know where he got the £330 from, a quick google search has them listed between £200 and £260 from UK shops

£449 from DK Armaments new for the rifle, then £123 off Amazon for the SUSAT makes £572 in my book…

And buying it that way probably comes with some sort of warranty...

This here is why I shouldn't be given mod duties. I would've yeeted him ages ago for being a serial cockwomble

Yup.  It's tragic that so many buyers keep falling for his fantasy pricing, and thanking him for it.

Please sir may I have another?

The stated fps is a bit suspect for an aep

Doesn't say what weight of BBs.

 

Actually, that's a good point: why do adverts ask for an "fps" rather than a Joule rating.  Tonight we're going to chrono like it's 1999.

If true that it has "never been skirmished" then they could be using the retailer "check" / "sign off", where bulldog .12's were used

Still for £100, is this Mack's worthy?...

(Not actually aware yet of "new" price so this may not age well....

 

[RostokMcSpoons]

It's a £100 for a new one, so I guess the holster and mags are the makeweights.  And I suspect he built bit of wiggle room in for negotiation too.  I mean, who wouldn't?

[Cannonfodder]

I've seen them go for anywhere between £50 and £100 with most places around £85 

[Cannonfodder]

Have I missed something or is he really wanting £30 for a plastic box?

 

[mightyjebus]

he is, but i remember a dude from another forum years ago that used to buy, make and replicate everything in a RS box for his airsoft pistols. Not my bag to be honest but I'm sure there are people out there that think 30 quid for a traded case is good value.

Seems to me that he's wanting £34 for it.

Also known as idiots. A quick google search shows Sig pistol cases can be easily bought new for half his asking price

[Cannonfodder]

Not sure the display case warrants that price considering the shotgun goes for about £60 new

[rj1986]

Though half term was 2 weeks ago

And with no hop, making it a point blanker only.

 

Yes, that's £40 of gun, plus a box that you'll likely leave it in once you find out how it performs.

Being a fence is not a defence!

[Guest]

Half that new on AliExpress 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

 

 

[OTH21]

Think that's pretty hopeful for an externally basic Cyma AK.  

 

New in stock upto £250, with the magazines being about £10-12 new and a railed gas tube being £16.99 and battery. 

 

Save maybe £35 over buying it all new.
