    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.

    Items being put up a high price due to their rarity/ lack of availability in shops? In one particular case, cheaper/equal price in stores?

    Coyuldn't find anything in the charter but recall it being a no no...

    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

    if I post a wanted ad and someone replies with items, do they have to have an asking price or can they ask me to make them an offer?


  • #370
    Steve
    Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,584 ✭✭✭✭Steve


    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.

    Can I clarify the caution below, is it the fact I asked for a pm before agreeing a deal? See caution below.

    KWC Tangfoglio Limited edition C02 Pistol
    Can you post <Mod Snip> a pic, any working issues with pistol or mags?

    Tks

    Hugh

    Any form of contact prior to a deal being agreed on thread is against the rules

    Going to Pm without a deal completed on a thread and then the deal being completed by pm would be off thread dealing and would be against the rules.

    I hope this helps.

    Surely the PM from Cass explained it, if you dont understand it then maybe send him a PM asking why

    Also if you took the time to read the Rules of this forum (which is compulsory reading) you would not fall foul of the Rules here on Boards

    Use the Adverts sub forum. Read through the rules and the other stickies at the top of the forum.
    It will give you an idea as to how it all works.

    You need 50 posts and 10 days membership to post photos and links.(Site rules)
    You can post in the Adverts forum from the start. If you want photos posted,
    send the links by PM to any Airsoft Mod and they will put them in your thread.

    Hi Lads,
    I have a non airsoft item Dell 5100 MP Digital projector almost new(41hrs on a 2200 lamp)
    I would like to trade it for a FN200/A&K Dragunov/MK60/CAm249 or SR25 type of AEG.
    Is there a way of doing this on this thread or can you advise what to do.
    this would provide users on this thread an oppurtunity for a great trade deal
    Thanks

    Yes, you can do it with a wanted ad. The emphasis has to on the airsoft items and
    say you want to trade.
