I can get the same IF or even the RIF delivered for the same money with (relative) peace of mind.

 

BBGnuz delivery is free over £50, and you get a 5% discount if you leave it in your basket for a day.  If you know what you're after, and why, they're no worse than any other airsoft retailer, and often a fair bit cheaper.

I think that this is just about Mackable, not for the price but for the claimed range; I assume they are airsoft feet.

I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they have confused FPS for distance or just miss typed.

I suspect that you are being overgenerous; the statement is very clear.

Probably means when the shot is lobbed from the top of a 330ft cliff

I do feel somewhat sorry for sellers who spend the kids' inheritance on building the gun that they want - which they then immediately decide that they don't want - but it's kinder to nip the fantasies in the bud.

Full-auto pistols are proper ashtray on a motorbike uselessness too. Either you're too close to use full-auto, or you're too far to use a pistol. Not to mention most just dump gas while spraying BB's on random trajectories.

 

Pistol drum mags are also fragile and suffer from cooldown way before you're through a decent number of BB's. I don't even like the 50 round Glock mags. My stock TM Glock 26 can't get through one before it's out of gas.

You now need a defence to buy a knock off optic?
Is the defence "I have no taste your honour" ?

Legit Leupolds are evidently a massive contributor to violent crime 😂

I suspect he hasn’t spent as much as he claims 😂 he hasn’t listed brands of important parts like the slide or barrel… and he hasn’t mentioned the name of the tech despite charging the next owner for that work.

£450 for 3 "used once" RIFs that I'm sure can be bought for less than that brand new.

 

https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/electric-powered/set-up_i64202

 

The accessories are "fluff" that lose even more resale value.

JG G36 - £160

Specna SA-E23 (Assuming standard) - £230

Vorsk Osiris - £130

The 3 replicas are £520 brand new combined (Yes, I'm this bored), so at least it's partially cheaper than new like normally posted 😂

If you have to write a disclaimer at the bottom justifying why you are ripping people off then you deserve all the grief you get. What a c**t.

You should bill that seller for doing the work for them.

more to the point... cost them SFA & still selling for above RRP

[Cannonfodder]

What an absolute bellend.

 

"The extra money on top of the 400 is to cover paypal fee cost AND delivery"

 

Bollocks are paypal fees and delivery costs that high. G&S fees are 2.9% maximum which would be  £13.05 so unless postage is £36.95 they're definitely taking the piss.

 

This is before we get to the known fault discussed here

https://airsoft-forums.uk/topic/60067-gg-levar-15/

 

But here we have the reason for the shitty attitude, small man syndrome 

 

"I'm only selling because it's a bit too big/long and heavy for me as I'm 4ft9, short arms etc"

No one who actually wants one that badly should/will avoid this like the plague. There's a manufacturing defect that needs to go back to the retailer, so good luck with a 2nd hand one.

[Enid_Puceflange]

I think the fact that Airsoft world has already sent out a good bundle of them to new owners, proves that he is going to struggle. They still have plenty in stock

Not that anyone will be buying until a fix for the weak point is announced. 
 

There were 3 where I was playing yesterday, two of them failed

One happened right in front of me, quite impressive 😆

Dropped, or just failed in use?  Either way, I hope G&G doesn't pull the Apple "You're just finger-blasting it wrong" card and hang the retailers out to dry.

 

AirsoftWorld are handling it well, and I'd hate to see them get rinsed, but ultimately they are on the hook for what they've sold, not G&G.

One of them was dropped, one fell over - which belonged to one of the lads who works at Airsoft World

Which is probably why the reaction from the store is so good, as the retailer has seen first hand that it’s really a design flaw

Brittle plastic holding together a pressurised fitting (it appears) a metal plate to secure things would probably do the job.

Let’s see what happens ………. 😆
 

But back to the dreamer..

Hes going to be lucky to sell it for £200 now

He won it in a raffle, so it is effectively 2nd hand, no warranty cover, can he send it back to the prize giver?

Would they want it ?. 😳

Ah, that's the incidents that they posted on Facebook.

Is it as simple as adding a washer?
