Is this normal for airsoft guns or have i got the wrong price Basically the average second hand price even in good condition is between 50%-60% of the lowest new price. Modifications and upgrades mean very little to the value. If it's highly personalised (an odd look) it goes for even less. Tokyo Marui stuff stays around 60/70% of the new price.

Plus the stock, red handguard and red receiver parts aren't really a crowd puller - a real acquired taste. Rogerborg and Shamal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted February 18 Supporters Share Posted February 18 You haven't listed what the base gun is. This will help to set a floor price, to which people will add what they think the parts are worth to them. There's no correct price point for airsoft guns, especially modified ones. It's all about finding a buyer who wants exactly what you're selling. The more detail you provide, the more likely you'll find that buyer. This is also not the best time to be selling. The market will be picking back up after Christmas, even a couple of weeks to get us into March might help. ak2m4 and Hudson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter511 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 You've also not mentioned its running hot for any UK site and is *technically* a section 5 firearm according to current UK law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzzer Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) Am I being blind but I can’t see where he mentions the bb weight. At 0.2 it’s fine of course. Edited February 19 by Muzzer Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzzer Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I see now. For the sake of a lower spring he’s being a silly lad. Rogerborg and Cannonfodder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAq Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I think you should consider lowering your price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr0-Magnon Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) If it's not selling and you're keen to move it on, make sure your ad is the best it can be. Your gun just isn't desirable the way you've presented it. For a start the backend is three times longer than the front, you get to include ten photos. At least show it fully retracted in some of those. If you have a garden away from prying eyes, take advantage of that and get some close-ups in natural light, so people can accurately assess the condition. Currently I'm lumping you in with all the others we see who've bought a gun off a mate, who bought it off a bloke on a site. You're not really sure what the base gun is or when the work was done. You don't even seem to realise that it's too powerful to be used, all this doesn't instill confidence in the prospective buyer. If all that doesn't work, you should bring the price down incrementally. I could buy a brand new CYMA Platinum delivered to my door (you make no mention of postage), or several other mid to high-end RIF's, for what you're currently asking. All the best.

After the OP first downgrades the spring then does a chrono re-test to confirm the gun is shooting within site limits. Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
