Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

We all know paint kills the value of a replica, even if it's a "good" paint job...

What about if it's tied to the back of a car and dragged miles down the street?

For sale Rifle  Vfc m16a1

Hi guys, selling my Vfc m16a1, this rifle has genuinely never been skirmished, it’s only had a couple mags through it in the garden, I’ve given it a worn look, and I have installed real steel Vietnam m16a1 handguard and stock. Will come with 6 mags, the original furniture and original box. Open...
£600.00

Price wise, if it wasn't mangled by a hedge trimmer it would be good but surely with that amount of forced damage to the exterior it can't hold much value?

Orange tips on a UK listing are a good sign of a scam. The comment had me rolling. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Also the plate carrier has a stars and stripes patch. Which is a red flag to me.

Two Tone Airsoft Rifle

Two Tone AEG Delta Pioneer Nomad 7” DT in mint condition. Only used once with no scratches. Comes with 1 Mag, 1 Speed Loader, 7.4V Lipo battery, 1 Bottle of 6mm BBs with 3250 PCS, 1 Battery Pack and the Rifle itself. (box included with everything)

Seller wants more than retail price for two-tone. "Only used once with no scratches" only holds value for a collectible, not a 13 in a dozen entry-level airsoft gun.

Number 1 pet peeve - "Worn" finishes clearly done with sandpaper to a gun that doesn't deserve it 😭
 
This is why, even though painting your rifle is the best tactical choice... I never paint any of my guns. I myself wouldn't really want to get a painted gun, so I know they're a much harder sell

And at this point, a bunch of my collection are collectible pieces at this point. No way in hell am I painting any of my Tanakas ever

Tbf, theres nothing wrong with painting a gun if thats what you want to do.

Its just if you choose that path you gotta be honest with yourself that it's more likely to be a value subtractive process should you wish to sell.

It is possible that a paintjob doesnt knock down value, might even add it, but for that to happen you need a buyer with the same aesthetic taste as you limiting the pool of potential candidates.
 
Not going to lie I do love the look of a battle worn pew something like it's out of fall out or something like that does jingle my jammys. Have seen some pretty sick painted pews by very talented guys.
