"New".  And another dried-up-mags seller.

How can you spend so much on a gas gun and yet know so little about them that you think having never pressurised the mags is a positive thing to list?

£30 second-hand for an £18 hop unit. Bargain.

Re listed from last month. Is it just me, or is £100 still a bit steep? Also that fps sounds a bit suspect

Given they claim it's "brand new" I'm of the inclination to agree with you. They've not listed any upgrades/changes to the internals so I'd suspect the FPS is much closer to whatever the stock figures are.

Yeh. It's a bit steep. They are only £130 new delivered from TaiwanGun in...ahem...proper colours.

£130 delivered from bbguns4less: https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/cyma-cm-703-l96-pro-sniper-rifle-in-blue.html

£120 in black: https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/cyma-cm-703-l96-pro-sniper-rifle-in-black.html

Only they don't even cost that.  £120.90 and £111.60 after the 7% "secret" discount for leaving them in your basket for 24 hours.

Ohhh... they quote 500fps. Must be true then. ?

So, are the kiddies trying to generate some back to school pocket money?
 

£160 (the retail price) for a G17, with an extra leaky mag? ???

To play devils advocate, upgraded barrel, upgraded rubber, extra mag which can likely be repaired easily enough. Perhaps could be £20 or so cheaper to be a good price but I've seen a lot worse pricing. Plus I bought a trademarked WE Colt 25 off this guy and he kept me up to date every step of the way with a chrono video, then postage receipt etc.

Yours for £199 plus a tenner postage ....

or new from bb*&£#@less for £119.

Slightly off topic but I could well be dreaming as it may be too good to be true? Some chap is selling ASG Devils for £7 a bottle. I was wondering if anyone has bought any?

I don’t agree, but discussion is what this is about. I think my biggest bug-bear is a £90 VFC pistol, with non-correct trademarks, being flogged by Umarex  for £160. 
At very best, VFC’s are about as good as WE’s.

And its a WE.  You can get a TM one from Fire Support for £320

OMG... Seriously? It has a major crack in the lower receiver on the most important part of the receiver... But with all the upgrades and other bit's the OP is still looking for £700. Bargain right?

 

[Cromulon1994]

60 quid more than new, for an old type dan wesson, that appears to be missing a shell.

Reasoned debate!? This is the Internet, let's get personal! I like my Umarex 19X but haven't used it much, so maybe I'll change my opinion in time.

I do agree with you though, I got in to airsoft just as unlicensed trademarked Glocks were being discontinued and even then you could pick up a "Stark Arms" 17 with all the correct markings for £90.

Stark Arms is VFC of course lol

Exactly! Also I remember ordering a "Hogwards" Glock 42 from Armsaholic, which would have worked out about £70 delivered but it was seized by Border Force. Again, VFC made but if you want one now you have to pay the full £160 - which quite frankly is ridiculous for such a small gun.
