    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

    Looking for xxx

    Thanks
    A

    aka Defenderdude…

    This is the preferred option.

    [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)

    The emphasis is on the airsoft items.

    Yeah, just post a price drop on the the thread. You can edit the first post for 48 hrs, after that, use the report post button and a moderator will edit it for you.


  • Registered Users Posts: 741 ✭✭✭gian


    Thanks fellas! where do i find this report button??


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


    It's under every post, looks like this: report.gif


  • Registered Users Posts: 5 jdeego10

    Your local retailer or Airsoft site can test your gun and confirm it is 1 joule or below and therefore legal.

  • Registered Users Posts: 23 kw1985karl


    I've been offered a freebie in my wanted ad...
    Is it ok to accept this and how do I go about exchanging details?
    Sorry I'm brand new to this!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,677 ✭✭✭tyrone03


    I'd say it's fine buddy... I'm sure you can go to PM and give ur details that way.... Don't post Ur address on the thread...!! Nice to see there are still some good guys out there.... If it were me, I'd offer to cover the cost of postage.... seem fair...?
    Don't worry about asking questions..... Better to ask if Ur unsure...

  • Registered Users Posts: 23 kw1985karl


    Can you tell me how I remove my wanted ad and if I have something for sale on future, how do I edit my ad? Thanks


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 5,621 Mod ✭✭✭✭shytan


    To withdraw an ad report it
    with a link and the Mod team will take care of it.There is an edit tab at the bottom right hand side of your post that allows you to edit a post for a period of time.


  • Registered Users Posts: 23 kw1985karl


    is it OK to make an offer even if there are people saying they are very interested?
    In other words is it first come first served when it comes to making offers?
    Thanks


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 5,621 Mod ✭✭✭✭shytan


    It is ok to make an offer as it is first come first served as you said.

    Recently found one of my old guns (Armalite M15A4) but unfortunately cant find the battery. Would it be pointless trying to sell it without a battery ?

    No it wouldnt be pointless but it will need to be chronoed to get the actual muzzle energy/fps before it could be sold here and to prove it works

    I would like to ask why I cannot delete a post of my own, specifically the first post in a thread.
    I attempted this last night after the system generated a duplicate thread and received an "infraction" from "Shytan" quite wrongly.
    If I cannot delete the first post in a thread because I "do not have moderator privileges" why do some moderators seem only to know about the forum rules that allow them to flex their moderator muscles when the system generated the duplicate post, and also prevented me from deleting it?


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


    You can delete a first post (and therefore the thread) within the normal 48hr window allowed to do do so provided there are no replies to the thread.
    Once there is a reply posted, only a moderator can delete the thread :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,091 ✭✭✭LeeHarvey


    Steve, I tried to delete the first post multiple times with the same result....

    "You are trying to delete the first post in a thread. You cannot delete this post as you do not have moderator privileges"

    Hi, nothing I can see wrong as regards permissions on your account.

    Can you pm me with specifics of what you are trying to do.

    Take a screenshot if possible and I can pass it to the tech team.

    Can we sell BB guns ? like non gas guns ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 108 ✭✭MichaelDevers


    Can we sell BB guns ? like non gas guns ?

    Non gas (Spring, electric, etc..), gas and C02 are all perfectly fine, as long as there under a joule.

    If it shoots lead, you won't be able to. More or less classified as a firearm (Open to corrections).


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


    Can we sell BB guns ? like non gas guns ?

    The law states it must be less than or equal to 1 joule.

    Forum rules are you must have proof of this (by having it tested by a retailer or club).

    Is there a bargin thread for airsoft?

    I'm in a few in different subs and think it could work well here, is this OK to post here or would a different sub be a better place for it?


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


    Can you expand on what you mean by that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,052 ✭✭✭ImANoob08


    So for example I'm in one for xbox games and accessories.

    If posters see something they think is a bargin they post in the thread to make others aware of it.

    Such as a store having 25% off a game or console etc.

    Could work well for the airsoft thread with all the different sites and shops around

    OK, gotcha. A bargain alerts type thread.

    I'll put it to the mods and see what we all think.

    Thanks.

    Hi guys, I want to sell some gear but I dont have a chronograph and since I don't play anymore I can't get them done at a site.
    Does any of the shops offer this service for a small fee?

    Don't believe I've ever heard of retailers charging for this in all my years, but many of us would have relationships with the shops and/or friends who work there, so, go make some friends (T-Virus safe distance, etc.) and should be grand :)

    Hey everyone,

    This might sound a bit silly but I was thinking of selling my airsoft rifle on here but then I actually realised I have no idea how I would sell it, you can't bring into a public area and what if someone wants to try/test it + I don't want to give my home address. Any suggestions from people with similar situation?



  • Registered Users Posts: 5 Hugh323


    hi i am new here, but how do I list something for sale? thanks



  • Registered Users Posts: 13 davidlynch2016


    So why was my thread locked…



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 5,621 Mod ✭✭✭✭shytan


    Because you seriously breached the forum rules....".Compatible with most after market upgrades for the VSR, this gun tested at 440 fps with .2 ammunition."



  • Registered Users Posts: 4 OOSt3v


    How do I delete a post so I can repost, also how do I edit a post(seems I can edit some but not others)?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7 Arcaine


    I'm looking to sell an AEGs and some pistols, but I've no batteries or way to get test them/local site. There's a hard requirement on joule/FPS of what they're shooting at. Can I sell without this or will I just sell them on to a shop?



  • Registered Users Posts: 6 Desperado101


    Where do ye stand on fraud, sellers taking money and lying about sending ?



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 5,621 Mod ✭✭✭✭shytan


    No.1 you report the ussue with facts and do not post your accusations on thread
