    What's an infarction ? Does it mean that you can't place an add for a certain time period ?

    no, like a warning, but if you build up a collection of them it may result in an automatic ban.

    Can it be made part of the rules that seeing as you can edit your first post within 24 hours that people are not technically allowed to bump their thread by adding new information or pictures with another post hours after their first one

    Hi, I know that sort of 'tactical' bumping happens the odd time but I don't think it's widespread enough to warrant a rule change.

    As it stands, if someone is following a thread and the OP adds something then they get notified, that's practical.

    Will keep an eye on it, thanks.

    It's in the rules and is called profiteering, please report it if you see it. :)

    I would wait a reasonable time for a response. (24-48 hours). Being online during the day does not mean he looked into this forum or read his PM's.

    Hi, you need to agree that with the other person involved. I'd recommend registered post on both sides at the very least if meeting up is not an option.

    Also, have a read of this: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=79685177&postcount=12

    Hi, unless the person offering already has a thread here for the item being offered then there's no specific rule on that so both options are allowed.

    If someone is accused of selling a broken gun yet it was in working order when it was sold what is the way it works?

    Each situation is usually dealt with differently based on each parties stories.

    I recently swapped two swords from my collection for a spring loaded sniper. Out looks very similar to the one below but there was a sticker by the breech saying it was 1.6 joule. The guy who gave it to me also said the spring had been upgraded to be even more powerful. Is it even legal and if so can it be skirmished. I will get it chronoed bit I'm just wondering in the mean time. EBay are the limitations on power?

    Under irish law all airsoft guns are required to be UNDER 1 joule there for it cannot be skirmished and if it is indeed over 1 J you have an unlicienced firearm.

    Thanks for prompt reply. So the way forward is to learn the exact fps on it and go from there. Is it possible to downgrade the spring to bring it in line with irish firearms laws because I have noticed there is a model available that maxes at one joule?

    Any decent retailer or techie can chrono and downgrade the gun for you.

    It would be considered as a duplicate thread as you are just offering the same item(s) by way of trade
