Brand New Jg G36c

[IFartedOnTheWayHere]

Impulse bought myself a pew pew before deciding I wanted to renew my UKARA. Couldn't cancel the order, and I'm looking to lose as little money as possible...

 

Soooo, what could I get for a brand new JG G36C? Standard variant with handguard, stock and magwell in two-tone blue. Will include 9.6 NiMH battery and 470rd hicap mag. Will have never been fired.

 

Paid £120 from Patrol Base.

Its unlikely you'll get the same money for it. After all why would someone buy 'new' second hand when they could get new with warranty for same price.

Maybe take £10 off and put it on classifieds to see if anyone bites.

Postage and PayPal fees will take a chunk out of the price.

 

If you can remove the paint properly then you'll have more chance of selling for around that price.

tbh I genuinely thought the value would drop catastrophically, so that doesn't sound too bad.

 

can you recommend a good way of removing the paint without melting the plastic?

I didn't say it would sell for that price, just to give it a try 😉

 

Sorry, I don't know a product to remove paint from plastic.

Best to do a google search.

Isopropyl Alcohol

I personally wouldn't pay £10 less than retail but as mentioned put it up for less than you paid and reduce the price periodically if it's not selling.

FWIW you could totally cancel/return the order if you haven't opened the box yet.

sadly not - I rang Patrol Base and they won't do it, as they've had to two-tone the gun.

I would also try to sell it at your next game day you'll loose less money face to face. online for a two tone £60/£70 most likely. As others have said stick it up for 110 and be prepared to be low balled.

hadn't thought of that! I'm heading to the MAW in Melton Mowbray a week Sunday, so that might be a good opportunity...
