"Fully upgraded" but nowhere in the description does it state what is upgraded. If you can't be bothered to list what's been done to it, why should I bother to message you to find out? 😂

It definitely gets worse when they ask you to message for more details or more pictures, as if the seller doesn't understand the burden lies with them.

 

Unless the seller is a masochist or if they have something to hide, why would they only provide more information about the gun privately and repeat themselves doing it?

Probably because they don't want the guy they bought it from the week before for a song popping up & saying "hold up mate, it was completely stock when I sold it to you the other day"

 

Or am I just a cynical old cnut 🤔

In my experience, when someone claims “fully upgraded” it’s far from fully upgraded, they just lack the knowledge or inclination to realise that. The second option is they’re trying to scam people by selling something largely stock as “fully upgraded”.

For me it usually means "I spent a shit ton of money for a tech to rinse me for a bunch of parts that made it perform no better than stock BUT LOOK HOW PRETTY!!!!!"

Case in point was the chap selling what he claimed was a fully upgraded Ares Honey Badger yet he didn't know what had been upgraded internally. It was then pointed out to actually be a Double Eagle model and the "upgrades" he eventually listed were questionable.

 

I think he was duped from the person he bought it from originally and tried saving face by selling it on to recover some of his losses.

It's funny with GBBs because it'll be an MWS "fully upgraded" with terrible aftermarket parts and run worse than stock.
