Is this a good deal or not

Can't find the vfc scar h anywhere and I've had an offer to get one second hand with an eotech 3 mid caps and a suppressor for 240 posted and just want to know if it's worth it

The Figjam Formula* For Fairly Common 2nd Hand Guns
Gun: 75% of best retail price
Accessories and upgrades: 50% of best retail price
"Paintjobs" and "Servicing": 0% of best retail price

As such this does look like a cracking deal. Suspiciously so. Check the guy's feedback really carefully and all the other checks.

*Probably not my own creation, I just can't remember who said it.

Re: Is this a good deal or not

As Figjam has said, I work from the new price.

If the items are in very good condition I'll add up what the gun and accessories are new and pay up to 70%, plus postage and paypal.

Working downwards from 70-60% depending on condition.

Make sure you confirm everything is in full working order, and I always ask if there are ANY known issues. I often also request a shooting video, and of course, only deal with people with feedback - especially when buying RIF's and not just bits and pieces.

Looks like a good price to me, just check everything is as it should be. And if any of it seems too good to be true, it very well might be so proceed with caution. If I ever smell anything fishy, I abort the sale immediately.

Re: Is this a good deal or not

Depends on the paint job for me. Some look great! But anyway, good luck with the sale op!
