Albiscuit Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 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!!
Mostly Retired Moderators L3wisD Posted February 16, 2019 Mostly Retired Moderators Posted February 16, 2019 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

Albiscuit Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 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 ?

Dentonboy Posted February 17, 2019 Author Posted February 17, 2019 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...

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.
clumpyedge Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 Mate of mine got 5 or 6 M&P Safari land holsters for £80 (for the lot) from what we assumed at the time was a shop closing down, Think each one sold for near enough £150.
Albiscuit Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 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!!
Supporters Druid799 Posted February 18, 2019 Supporters Posted February 18, 2019 Almost same mistake for me on this very forum , chap selling 2 alpha-tec grenades . PM him to start negotiations and during composing of second PM I actually noticed they were the 9mm/12G ones and NOT the 209/9mm I’d wanted ! Dipshit ! ?♂️
