MagpieTactical Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 As title really. These are coming in anywhere between 10 and 15 cheaper than most of the used ones. Is the price too good to be true, and are they likely to be fake? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F113734966075 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arwen Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 They look legit to me (same as mine). However they are at best "good as new". They have been removed from their packaging and bring sold by a person, rather than a shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagpieTactical Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 They are listed as new on the Ebay listing. But I understand what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Druid799 Posted May 2, 2019 Supporters Share Posted May 2, 2019 They probably are real as there more than likely stolen issue kit , just checked his othe listings and he’s got Vertus body armour and a Vertus Bergen for sale and they haven’t even been fully rolled out yet ! 🤦♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E21A Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Christ, the price of used ones has gone up. I paid about £15 for mine used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagpieTactical Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 I offered 17.50 (plus post) and asked why they were open if they were new. Declined offer and ignored question. Oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasbrisas17 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Normally if they have the documents ect with them then thats a good sign. No repro also reproduces the documents especially that anti-fog wipe. Also, most of the time people take the gear out the packaging to take pics. Not out of the ordinary and not suspicious really. He's also selling other real gear.

MagpieTactical Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 Still means they are not new. Similar to a discussion on another thread really regarding what is new and what is used. Not answering a prospective buyer is a bit off as well imo. But perhaps that's just me who thinks that. Thanks for the input guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators djben9 Posted May 3, 2019 Moderators Share Posted May 3, 2019 i got my pair from the local surplus store for about that price didn't know they were different sizes, thought it was one size fits all with adjustable arms? - 'NEW Size Regular' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawyer Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 He's also got a faux leather studded paddle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tackle Posted May 5, 2019 Moderators Share Posted May 5, 2019 looking at the sellers profile & other kit he's selling I think he's genuine, his user name is rocky mol1, there used to be a guy on the airsoft forums as RockyMolinari, came from the same area & sold a lot of genuine high quality kit, I'm thinking its the same guy.

I wear the small ones. The only difference in these from the regular ones is the lenses has SH on the lens, rather than just S. Large frames/lenses only have one "nose notch" rather than the two notches that small and regular frames/lenses have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagpieTactical Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 So bought some of these, from a different seller as the originals had gone, and the smoke lens is all scratched, no buggy as I would be using the clear or yellow. Except.... the frame and smoke lens are the large, and the clear and yellow are regular so dont bloody fit! Not happy or impressed. Have messaged with photos and will see the reply. 🤬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagpieTactical Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 So the seller has replied with this message. Cheeky cunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagpieTactical Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 It was not mentioned that the additional lenses didn't fit, but he seems to think I shouldnt have thought they would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
