Agree, irrespective of the friends situation,  whoever is fronting the sale needs to take full responsibility for the items being sold,especially if it arrives faulty.

Exactly, it doesn't paint a good idea for any buyer, new or experienced.

 

It always appears sketchy and I've always stayed away from it, even if it's a good deal

What is it with people saying "selling for a friend" or "selling my mates..." 

 

I don't get it, why can't they post it themselves? It always looks sus in my opinion 

 

I agree. I always see it as a red flag. I always assume they're trying to shy away from responsibility if anything is wrong or disclosing if it had been used or modified in a way that would drop its value further.

 

I know one genuine case where the friend was no position to sell his own kit but that was an exception.

To me it sounds like the airsoft equivalent of someone selling a second hand car saying the dvla have the log book

[Markusx0]

I’ve sold stuff for mates before and been transparent in the description that it is a friends gun. However, I’ve also explained to my friends that if it goes missing in the post or something is wrong with the rifle that they need to give the money back (in the case it goes missing) or they accept a return. 

Anyways, here’s a dreamer.

"Real embosed markings, in new condition"

 

Me being able to read the markings and see they're not very real looking

The fact that he hasn't posted that shit here, where people know what they're looking at an will call sellers outfit their nonsense, says to me he knows they're more fake than Katie Price's tits.

 

Edit: wow, I just looked at real versions of theose grips and they couldn't look more fake if they had made in china printed on them

Got a live one here. These are 50 quid cheaper from retailers brand new

Not so much a dreamer, though he is rather optimistic, but more classic example of someone not knowing what gun they are selling.

Forgot the bloody link, pillock. Can't remember what it was now!

I hope my recent ad isnt a dreamer though. Ill be lowering the price if it doesnt sell but id have thought £70 less than RRP for a nearly new FAMAS would be okay?

Terrible price, I'll give you a tenner...

 

Price is fine, especially with some extra mags. Although be prepared to haggle due to the low fps. Famas gearboxes suck to work on due to their weird V1 parts being a mix of v2, v7 etc.

Yes this is why im selling it tbh. I dont mind V2 and V3 gearboxes and im actually working on an old CA SA58 just now. When i changed the spring in the FAMAS i took one look at it and decided it wasnt for me lol. If it dont get any traction when the ad runs out ill sell for dirt cheap as a boneyard item.

They're definitely an acquired taste. I personally have been tempted by them so many times but always stop myself because I know if/when they break down it'll sit in a corner for a long time before I can be bothered to fix it ? Now I'm eyeing up the GBBR as it'll be easier to work on...

Wants retail for what I assume is an incomplete parts kit BecAuz It'S RaRE.

So rare I ordered one from retail 4 weeks ago!!!

 

W&S still produce them, marketing them as rare is incredibly wrong! People just don't look in the right places.

Pricing is meh but don't try and bullshit people. Even Stevie Wonder can see that "custom" paintjob is a roundabout way of you trying to conceal it's a green two-tone job.

And it only comes with 66.6% of the “tripod”

That’s what makes it even more rare

@EvilMonkeeDidn't these come as one piece too? as in the only thing you screwed on was the silver gas plug? This looks like the stock bolt?

[Socks]

Yeah I thought so too, 99% sure you should only be able to change the gas piston not the other thing???

 

I'm pretty sure these come with the spring and guide if this is a complete kit? Confusing. 

I know W&S sell a steel bolt set but that's just the bolt and nothing else that comes with that...

 

 

Best bit is though, these aren't rare... You can legit buy them from Asian retailers for cheaper even with shipping!!

You are indeed correct, I'm wondering when this was originally bought now

Edited July 30 by Socks

[GiantKiwi]

You could buy it as individual parts, wasn't advisable to, but you could. (MLEMart did it as individual bits)
