Scammers (rant)
13 January, 2011, 21:26
I have noticed that there seems to be a hell of allot of weird sales like loads of kwa m4s over priced and none of the pictures work .I have also found this with a couple of offer guns .It's also the fact every single one has just joined the forum within weeks.
Mods feel free to remove if you feel like this is just rubbish .

Re: Scammers (rant)
Sure they scammers, or maybe just the overhopefull?
I'd be more worried about things listed well under their value

Thats very true but there is always one person interested in a gun no matter the price .
and it could just be a case they are not scammers It just seems like it.

Re: Scammers (rant)
I think its over hopefulness a lot of the time, however I have seen one recently (I wont what or who though), a nice piece of kit but he was selling a 100 quid more than the brand new cost imported from the states with customs charges to boot, and someone bought it because that particular version is hard to come by in the UK and its a rebranded cheapsoft (either DBoys or A&K I think)
section 24 of the 1968 Act
Supplying imitation firearms to minors
1)It is an offence for a person under the age of eighteen to purchase an imitation firearm
2)It is an offence to sell an imitation firearm to a person under the age of eighteen.

personally I think people know there are a lot of kids and unregistered people on here who will pay above the odds just to get their hands on a non two tone. its not scamming...but it is illegal!

There is such a sale that looks rather suspicious.
An appraisal was made for an under 18 user
The same gun now being sold by a different user...

Re: Scammers (rant)
i think it does, any sport has issues, this is airsoft ones.
until they make the sport you must have a license instead of a ton of loop holes. its gonna happen

Re: Scammers (rant)
Airsoft is almost impossible to license. There are too many "guns" in circulation.
