TM FAMAS F1 AEG - for sale!!!!!

    Hey folks,

    I'm in need of some cash and won't have time for airsoft, so I'm offloading my AEG. The pistola is way too cool to sell, so that's staying ;)

    What I'm selling.....

    1x AEG
    2x mid caps (60 rounds)
    1x high cap (300 rounds)
    1x battery
    1x charger (requires an adaptor)
    1x loading rod (very handy for loading mid caps, trust me!)

    Anyways it's a Tokyo Marui FAMAS F1. There is a detailed review available here.

    You can view my own personal first impressions when the thing arrived, here.

    It fires at about 270fps with a 0.2g BB (0.6/0.7J)

    It has an absolutely immense rate of fire, close to 1000 rounds per minute. Ask any of the lads at a skirmish and they're happy to have a FAMAS on their team (the M60 is preferable though, lol)! It can be used for support and because it has a bipod, you can just rest it on a wall or the ground and unload on people!

    I'm not sure what the range is, but it's quite far indeed.

    Not sure what else to say.... I've attached some pictures but they're terrible quality. Have a look at the review I linked to earlier for some better pics.

    It is as close to perfect condition as possible. It's a few months old, but I haven't been to alot of skirmishes in that time, so there's little to no wear and tear.

    I'm looking for €300 for the lot. I'm not really interested in splitting it up because (a) I'm not arsed driving out to Swords just to get 20 quid for a magazine, (b) I have no use for a FAMAS magazine if I don't have a FAMAS, and (c) I don't wanna spend the next few weeks selling individual magazines.

    This AEG is pretty much perfect for beginners, so I guess that's who I'm hoping will buy it!

    I will meet people at HRTA preferably, but other arrangements can be made. I'd like the person buying it to be 18 at least, also.

    Would you sell the charger?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    Not likely Liamo, sorry!

    Someone PM'd me bout the FAMAS and I replied but they haven't gotten back to me again...

    Whoever it is, reply por favor!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,414 ✭✭✭kdouglas


    DaveMcG: please keep all deals on-thread, if someone pm's you and asks about it, tell them to post here, only take it to pm when a deal has been agreed


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    ah right cool.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    The bloke (Robbie) isn't going for it, so it's still open!

    I'll drop the price to E275.

    Just gonna say I priced one new on redwolf, with shipping,hi cap mag, balaclave and goggles and the lot came to 333 euros so I'd imagine for a used one the price is a bit high even at 275.
    Battery and a charger/discharger are also in that pack.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    True, was expecting someone to offer me less though.

    €250 is the lowest I can go. Any takers?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 797 ✭✭✭Spetzcong


    250 sounds like a nice deal, I've always liked the look of the FAMAS, I'd be interested, would you be able to bring it to HRTA next week for me to take a look at it?

    Well Stepzcong got here first, but I wouldn't mind a look too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    Whoever offers the most can have it, tis not first come first serve! :D As long as you're both willing to take the mags too.

    I'll bring it to HRTA on Saturday and ye can have a look. Don't think I'll be skirmishing though. I'll bring a load of BBs anyway, and you can go through a few mags.

    This is me... I'll probs be at the firing range, in the morning :)

    You know full well it's first come first serve to whoever offers the asking price. Attempts at starting a bidding war will not be tolerated.

    First to offer €250 gets it. In this case Spetzcong. If he doesn't want it, then it's Conkey.

    You've already been warned once for off thread dealing. Any more acting the maggot and the thread will be closed + a 1 week ban.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    I'm afraid I didn't know it was first come first serve. Should probably read the charter. Nobody's acting the maggot.

    Spetzcong it is if he wants the mags too.

    is a expression on interest not a confirmed bid. A confirmed bid would be something like;

    There are a few other ways you could say it, but you get the idea.

    I know Conkey and know he doesn't really care either way, but this could come back to bite you in the ass later when people start expressing bid "interests" all over the shop or when a definitive buyer gets dicked around for a week or two by a interest bid.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 797 ✭✭✭Spetzcong


    Actually, given that Conkey also wants it, I'll pass on this so he can have it.

    Money is a little tight this month and I think if I come home with any more airsoft equipment I run a severe risk of getting my ass kicked. I'm an addict but I think I can survive without getting another AEG this month :D

    I can always get myself a FAMAS somewhere else another time without running the risk of destitution and getting myself in the doghouse.

    if Conkey doesn't take it I'm still interested though

    You completely missed the point.

    Interested person A: "Hey, I'm interested in that for the asking price, can I have a look at it before I buy it?"

    Interested person B: "I am also interested, but I'll wait in line until after person A"

    This is how adverts is meant to work. If someone offers or is interested in the asking price, you wait until they are done before you go ahead. It's good manners and stops bidding wars. True, it might mean people have to wait, but that's just tough. If you're genuinely interested in something, get in fast.

    Then it goes arseways.

    Seller: "Nobody says it was first come first serve. Whoever offers the most can have it"

    This is against the rules. Person A was "interested" at 250. 250 is the maximum. Person B can not offer any more.

    If you have a problem, keep it to pm in future. This forum is not for expressing your opinions about moderating decisions.

    Now, back on topic please.

    is the famas still for sale??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    It is, but Conkey has first dibs if he confirms that he's still interested.

    Otherwise you can have it if you want it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,643 ✭✭✭0ubliette


    cool, no worries :)

    Dave you going to be down a HRTA on Saturday? I'll have a look-see then.:cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    Yep I plan on being down there early on Saturday. If you intend on buying it (and are just checking it out beforehand) could ya bring the money on Saturday too? If it's not too much trouble! Tis a bit of a pain driving out to Swords, that's all :o

    Also, wasn't there a second HRTA site opened, or something? HRTA 2? :confused: Which one is the one people go to now? lol

    hrta 2 is the new one, old hrta is closed now, check out hrta.ie for a google map to it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    Cool cheers


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    0ubliette, are you still interested? Conkey isn't going for it anymore as he has other financial commitments.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,643 ✭✭✭0ubliette


    yeah man id be very interested (damn you counter strike for making me love the famas!) is the price still 250? If we could meet up and let me have a look at it, as long as its as sexy in real life as it is in the photos ill take it off your hands!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    Excellent. Yeah it's €250 still. I'm not sure where we could meet... lol... Do you live in Dublin? Whereabouts(roughly!)?

    If you're close to me I could drive to your house, or failing that, HRTA next weekend.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,643 ✭✭✭0ubliette


    im in dublin yep, in beaumont on the nothside, that anywhere near you? I could meet you somewhere in town but i guess brandishing what looks to be a fully automati frearm on o'connell st isnt exactly the smartest move... :D I work up on baggot st mon - fri tho if youre around there?
    EDIT:
    just saw your location is tallaght, thats not near beaumont!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    Too far away :( I don't think arms deals in public are a good idea, no :D

    If you don't mind waiting til next weekend then I'll go out to HRTA


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,643 ✭✭✭0ubliette


    bugger, ive never been to that and ive no idea where it is...will you be in the city centre at all during the week? if you want to meet up, just slap the famas in a plain box, ill take a quick gander at it and take it off your hands? Or is that still too risky? ill PM ya my mobile no anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,414 ✭✭✭kdouglas


    lads, dont sell aegs in public places please, even opening a box inside your car and having a look is dangerous

    go somewhere private

    any word on this??
    Ive come into a bit of cash this week, so basically if you would be willing to come out to the northside i will guarantee id take it at 250 as i do really want a famas :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    Alright mate, sorry have been busy with college sh*t lately...

    It seems the only thing to do is bite the bullet (or BB if ya like :D) and drive out to ya!

    If you could PM me some directions then I should be able to go out on Saturday morning (I'll let ya know if it's Sat or Sunday). The more maps the better :p

    Haven't a clue bout Beaumont, so once I get off the M50 I'm lost.

    Cheers
