    I originally listed my PT99 for €110 because it had a leaky mag and the slide lock kept engaging after each shot, both of those issues are fixed now I want to sell the AEG pistol for more than I originally listed it for as the faults are gone, do I need to get a new Ad or can I increase the price of my current Ad

    This thread.....http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=96057699

    No to both questions. A slightly leaky mag is not sufficient reason as they are easily fixed and there is no mention of the slide in the thread.

    Is it okay to list "Clearout" in a thread's title if further info is given e.g. "Clearout: Gun X + Accessories, Gun Y + Accessories, Assorted Tactical Gear"?

    Hi All,

    New user here. I'm Dave. I placed an airsoft gun for sale (not sure if the ad is live), as a new user I couldn't post a website link. (sorry about that) The mod removed the link and told me to add price and specs of air gun. I tried to do this but I am unable to edit the ad. Do I create a new ad? Have I been blocked or banned because I posted a website link?

    Any help/advise would be appreciated.

    Newbie Dave

    Hi Dave,

    Welcome to boards / airsoft.

    You haven't been blocked or restricted, there's a time limit here on when you can edit a post so best thing to do is start a new thread, I'll close your existing one.

    If you need any help with posting pics etc or what has to be in the ad, please ask here.

    Hey, I just found this thread. I would like to sell a G36C i bought from Main Irish Airsoft about 4 years ago. I only used it for a month back then, it's been sitting in my room since. My problem is I don't know what make it is cause i no longer have the box. It looks exactly like the HK G36C Sport Line Airsoft AEG on the Main Irish Airsoft website (I'm a new user so can't post links) but it has no markings for the make for some reason. I never really noticed at the time not sure if that's normal or what. I can post pictures soon if that's needed. Thanks.

    Can some of the category mods have a look at this for me please as it appears shytan and Dogwatch are working together on this one...

    First off... After an offer of trade was made by myself to shytan he came back with a counter offer of my stuff plus €40 his way... I asked him how he came by that as the value of his gear was similar to the value of my gear once the conversion had been done from £to €.. He gave me a price breakdown and wen I asked how he came by the prices he said 2nd hand market..... Fair enough.... I asked wer he had found it out as I couldn't see that info anywer.... He then failed to provide the information....

    This is a blatent attempt by shytan to stroke me...for want of a better word.... He has made up prices he wanted to pay for my stuff and tried to get extra money to sweeten his deal... Only wen he was Confronted he couldn't live up to his statements.... Now I know this kind of thing goes on....
    But it is not something I have come to expect from a MOD on this forum....!! It's appealing behaviour to be honest and only adds to the bad name that this forum has in the Airsoft community....!!
    I went on to tell him that it was grand... For me a better choice will be another rifle and I explained why..... He then went into a rant about how his was better.... I asked him if he seriously was saying that....only for the post to be removed by dogwatch.....
    I bumped my own thread and said tounge in cheek that I would accept trades but no G&G rubbish or somerhing along those lines....only for shytan to edit it and state it was for rambling....
    Granted my post was young in cheek....but why has shytan taken a personal vandetta against me by editing my post..... Surely it is up to me to me as to what manufacturer I want in a trade..... And how I articulate that information in my post, as long as it is within forum rules, is my business....!! What right does this so called mod have to edit my post....?? And ..... I can't post on my thread....?? Someone sort this out please.....!!

    Maybe this question has been asked/answered already but I'm not going to read through nearly 30 pages to find out so;

    Is it deemed acceptable to engage on-thread with a seller even though no muzzle velocity has been stated for the item? Can an offer be made or would it be limited to general questions regarding the item?


  • #423
    Dogwatch
    Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,553 ✭✭✭Dogwatch


    You could make the offer subject to a legal fps being provided.
    If you notice that the fps has not been posted, you could ask for it as well as your other questions.
    You could also report the post for Mod attention as well.
    It is in all our interests the anything sold is within the law of the land

    Trying desperately to get rid of two airsoft guns - a Colt 1911 and an AK Spetsnaz. No where near an airsoft shop to get the joules tested so would using another example (possibly on this marketplace even) of joules for the same guns be sufficient? Used both of them in skirmishes for 2 years straight if honesty is any assurance.

    You are required to post the actual muzzle energy of the guns you wish to sell here, guesses are not enough, shops or sites should be able to chrono them for you.

    I have a lot of airsoft kit including Mp5 for which is up for sale on Facebook and some on boards. My question really relates to adverts.ie but the help forum is closed so cant post there.

    Basically what I want to do post in adverts.ie stating that I have airsoft kit and AEG and want to swap for Xbox one. I understand I am not allowed to sell the AEG on adverts (fires at 0.80 joule in case you ask) but can I include them as part of a potential trade

    thanks

    You would have to check with mods on Adverts.ie but I think there is a blanket ban of RIF's.

    Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 195 ✭✭Techy_1


    Yeah I kinda thought that, what I will do then is remove the current Ad in Airsoft adverts and relist it as swap only and include every item I have for sale including the clothing and RIF

    thanks for the advice

    If you are unsure or untrusting then the best thing to do is insist on a face-to-face meeting to deal.

    Just beware of sending money 'as a gift', never do it to pay for something. It's often asked for because the paypal fee is less however, you cannot raise a dispute if something goes wrong.

    Hi I've made an offer for a gun on adverts, 10 euro below the asking price, the seller never replied to the offer, now a week later another buyer has offered the asking, and the seller has apparently agreed to sell, my question is should he have replied to my offer ????

    Hi mods

    Just want to check if ok to put up a Wanted or Trade ad , but looking for some specific non airsoft items.
    or what way should it be worded etc
    I've seen some in the last while which were taken down and just wanna check...


    Eg. something like this ok?

    [For Trade] Multiple AEG's, VFC 416 plus Equipment
    Ad details:
    Airsoft gun VFC 416, 310 fps
    Looking for non airsoft stuff such as gaming PC, specific type watch etc...
    (where I list specific items)


    as opposed to
    [Wanted]: Specific watch, gaming PC...

    Ad details:
    I have multiple airsoft guns and items to trade including

    ABC 416, 320 fps
    XYZ 556, 290 fps
