SgtTalbert Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I know we have the share a bargain thread which to me is more retailers. However, as a parallel to the 'macks dreamers' thread, it would be quite nice to have a '2nd hand sales bargain thread' where we can post good deals spotted amongst the 2nd hand sales from various places. Sometimes it feels we are all very good at jumping on sellers for selling overpriced stuff in the guise of looking out for potential buyers. SOOOOO why not be as active with good deals we see about the internet? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will make me sad if I see people get stuff I want, cheap, before I have a chance to get it 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted May 8, 2019 Supporters Share Posted May 8, 2019 Perhaps because if I see a genuine bargain, I'm more likely to SMASH that "buy" button than to blab about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtTalbert Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 Fair enough. I tend to only buy things I want rather than see a bargain and buy to resell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont retrospectively post overpriced sales? For instance, if I saw an E&L AK with 6 mags for £100 and I didn't want it - I'd post it in this thread etc.. Just thought It's a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol yes I did say that in my original post - we have a share a bargain thread but its for retailers. My idea is to have a similar thread for 2nd hand sales. So to confirm: if you see a bargain and don't want it personally or to buy and sell on...then post it in this thread for others to take advantage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProPain87 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 It’s a good idea. The only issue i can think of is by the time I’ve spotted a bargain it’s usually sold. The bargains usually sell within a matter of hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bargains usually sell within a matter of hours Well, it would still accomplish two things 1) Link things that may not have been snapped up 2) if it has sold, it can also highlight (Like @clumpyedge mentioned) what things CAN sell for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I have a contact for an FPG the dude wants £315 for. It’s built from a KWA kit rather than factory, but the right gun for someone 🤷🏼♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
