etc ...

Noone is going to care about the upgrades or not.  If anything the second I see 'upgrade' I am avoiding like the plague, especially a high ROF RIF which just screams broken internal potential.  The money you are asking is ludicrous.  Entirely your right to do so but ludicrous none the less

Okay what about the rest?

"It's 'x' amount in the UK"

That's nice, it's £30 cheaper delivered with taxes from Taiwan.

[Lyndication]

Using the mental markup some UK shops put on guns to justify a high selling price is so common lmao. 

 

Then they wonder why it doesn't shift.

You pay taxes at checkout on Aliexpress. 

[Cannonfodder]

Wow. First not being able to spell the manufacturers name caught my attention (it's not like it's written on the box), then I saw the price at only £15 less than retail. Then I saw he wants £100 for shipping

That's mental, Jeremy

Is the Modlite real @navyvet86? Would some what justify the price if it is. Spenny lights at the best of times.

But at that point once again, split it, because most people aren't going to give a shit and are just going to go "fuck me, that's expensive" Especially when there are currently 3 other TM MP7's for sale at half the price.

You clearly aren't up to date on import tax thresholds - unless it peaks over £135, the chance of being called up on the tax from china et al as less than 1%.

 

Aliexpress, as others have said pays the tax before shipping anyway.

Well, they bill the buyer for it.  I do wonder how much is rendered unto Caesar[*].

 

[*] Caesar Smith, he works in HMRC. Good bloke, very active in the local Rotary Club.

Postage with PF - £12

Total - £396.27

 

Looks pretty spot on to me, all DE Pmags leak OOTB because they ship them ungassed.

[Markusx0]

Fair enough. Not sure how I came to my original conclusion lol

[CrackPipeCallout]

Unless I'm missing that this holster is some gucci RS affair, that's £245 for something you'd be paying less than £180 for from Taiwan new.

 

Already been called out lmao, but £528 for the rifle shipped and taxes from Taiwan, plus £34 a mag (£68 because you're an absolute twunt if you claim the mag that came with the rifle is a spare), so £646 retail including the hop unit???

Just such a mish-mash of parts that are overpriced without actually being the best you can get. 

Looks like it wants putting down to be fair, can't see anyone paying close to that to put it out of its misery though.

That's one of the most compelling cases to restore the gun to factory defaults as he has all the original parts. 

 

Not to dismiss his skills teching his own airsoft guns but surely a stock GBBR is more likely to sell? All the other accessories can be sold individually or in smaller bundles.

 

 

[Cannonfodder]

Only £25 less than new from BZ tactical 

Edit: he's really going for it now. This one's only a tenner less than new from airsoft world

Probably bought it for £60 there, like I did last year.

The seller apparently doesn't know much about this hideous two-tone jobbie but he somehow knows it (presumably including the sight) is worth 250 smackeroonies.

[EvilMonkee]

  £370 for a plate carrier which is probably from Aliexpress and can be found on ebay for £150 plus P&P?  Sure, sign me up....

[Cannonfodder]

£20 postage too
