Best ever eBay airsoft related buy?

Bought a whole box of stuff for something silly like £50 when I first started years ago, seller used a load of shitty pics and a bit cagey on contents but I could see enough that it was a good starter box for myself. 

 

It arrived and i realised it wasnt a great deal for me after all so split it and relisted.

 

most of it sold and I got about 70 quid for it, but the pouches and plate carrier (listed separately) went to the same guy, with a MOD po box or forwarding address or something for almost 200 quid. 

 

To go this day I have no idea what brand it was or what it was actually worth!!

One tip for buying on eBay is to use Fat fingers first:

 

http://fatfingers.com

 

You type in what you're looking for and it finds listings that have that particular word, but spelled incorrectly. 

So, for example, "Airsoft", will bring up auctions for "Aisoft" / "Arisoft" / "Airsotf" etc.

 

Sometimes you can win utter bargains with the minimum bid because it won't appear on people's searches for "Airsoft".

 

That's my handy tip of the week ;)

I search for worn and nearly used trainers on eBay, specifically look for incorrectly listed, spelling mistakes or for shoes that people are selling but don’t know what they are.

 

best blag was some rare dunks for £5 which I sold for £150 as the seller didn’t know what they were and listed them as something else 🤣

Best buy recently was a new in bag Crye Loft Jacket for a best offer accepted price of £75.00.

 

You would be lucky to find them retail for less than £230...

My work here is done 😎

 

My shares in eBay are going to pay for Christmas at this rate 😁

 

In all seriousness though, misspelled listings are the way forward..

 

Has anyone had any luck with some since I posted about fat fingers? 🥰

I agree about misspelled listings. I mentioned it here - https://thegearconfessional.wordpress.com/2018/06/01/chapter-16-the-art-of-the-deal-or-how-to-score-that-money-making-bargain/ - last summer. I cottoned on a couple of years ago.

It also backfires..

 

I bought what I thought were M7 gas mags ages ago, ended up with AEP ones :(  

 

But then I didnt READ the listing!! :P
