Cheap for what it is and with all the accessories...

Im sorry to the seller if this is a genuine ad but smells like a future Paypal dispute to me.

I think something needs to be done before new accounts can sell items like these.
Maybe something like buy 5 items and gain positive feedback before being able to sell, Or only sell items of a value less the £20 until you have +5. Something along those lines.
I know its not fair on the people who don't want to discuss airsoft and to just sell the one off item but it would stop a lot of scamming going off on this site.

Re: Does anyone believe this sale?

I agree lol
It should be at least 10 posts and 5 pos feed back on sales on parts and or accessories or them buying a gun then they should be allowed to sell guns

i could be wrong, but there is something fishy about that post.

Another one done to death!!!

Nobody can 100% say that this is a scam/scammer so why do we keep jumping on them.

Buyer should, by now know to ask all the right questions and take all possible precautions, and if they don't it's their look out.

Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?!?!

The guy may not be a scammer.
However even taking precautions Tisane, it still might prove to be a scam.
It isnt helped by the levels of paranoia on this forum, but hey ho, thats what happens when the mods arent allowed to moderate the classifieds (I actually am defending the mods a little there).

Re: Does anyone believe this sale?

The mods can't moderate the classifieds? why?

[steve grey]

Re: Does anyone believe this sale?

well it must be difficult to moderate, cos' we don't actually know who these people are, from their point of view, everyone has to start somewhere, ie; zero feedback, but that does of course leave it open to scammers, it's a dammed if you do, dammed if you don'tsituation for the mod's, so I suppose we have to use our own judgement and hope for the best, and don't gift, one thing I think could and should be addressed is the constant bumping of items, if after,say, four bumps, they haven't sold,face it, they're not going to, so surely a price drop or some alteration should be compulsory.

Re: Does anyone believe this sale?

Dont know the reasons but having had a discussion about it and my relentless bitching about it I was finally told that they are not allowed to get involved much to their distaste.
I will not name who told me, but they were/are a mod on here.

Re: Does anyone believe this sale?

Well if they have no feedback id recomend a pickup on the item in question, you can take all the precautions but the gun could still be broke and theres no money back from that.

Re: Does anyone believe this sale?

fair point there luke, pehaps if the buyer has 100% feedback, we could ask the 0% feedback seller to send first, it's exactly the same, just in reverse.

Re: Does anyone believe this sale?

Why should anybody be made to drop their price? Thats a stupid idea, just because it has not sold this month does not meen t wont be exactly what somebody is looking for in a months time.
