New Rif's for sale

[ButcherBill]

I'm well aware of buyers regret & all that stuff but...

Why spend hundreds of pounds on a new Rif then decide to sell it days or a few weeks after buying it?

As I see it some simply buy a two tone then regret it or the holidays set in, but a new TM MWS or a VFC L403A1 getting listed within weeks just mystifies me, I'm sure occasionally some are bought in haste when the money should be earmarked for other things & some are bought on tick to be sold for some fast money but those are surely the exception?

For the others I'm flummoxed... ideas?

Because it's not what you are hoping for? You have seen something else you want. Or in my case in several case the gun is too small and uncomfortable to hold.

From what I've seen airsoft seems to attract the neurospicy, so a touch of ADHD could mean they're chasing the dopamine hit from buying a new toy. After a few weeks the new gun happiness feelings wear off so it gets sold and the cycle starts all over again

I'd say it's only a problem if you're spending money you need for other things. If you can afford it then go for it

Just realised I don't need help... I don't sell mine (often)

Help deciding what to buy next?

 

[ButcherBill]

No, I've already done that.

I think there's also a big increase in micro importation businesses. I see a lot of brand new VFCs appearing - you don't need much business for ProAct to give you a trade account.

This sounds like me except i keep pretty much everything, i very rarely sell guns unless absolutely necessary and in 20+ years of playing i've only ever bought one gun brand new and that was a 2 tone HFC revolver... (absolute sacrilege i know)

I'm the guy that loiters and snags the new guns people sell after changing their mind and save myself money so i can buy more guns that will likely only see daylight a few times a year when i feel like having a fondle of the collection.

Sadly papa Bill has not invited me to fondle his yet.
