Ebay scam perhaps?

Identity · April 3rd, 2006, 02:16

Was just on ebay surfing around for some airsoft equip, and landed on some of these no name AEGS.

Does anyone smell fraud? I also wonder what brand of AEGs is this guy selling.

Anyhow I was just curious.

-Identity.

P.S. O yeah, I've been gone from the airsoft scene for over 2 years. BUT! Hopefully I'll be back on the field this summer.

That's if work treats me well...

If the person IS in fact located in Brampton, i would pay him/her a visit (if) i bought something off him. I'd ask if we could do a face-to-face transaction.

Although if i wasn't like 25 minutes away, i'd stay right the fuck away from him/her.

He has the name and brand on the GBB Elite IA

Seems strange to neglect it on everything else??

I think those are the paintball guns that the US army uses to train with. I am just guessing. Can anyone back me up?

Werd. Yeah I live at Warden And Steeles, but I was just curious what the hell that he was selling. I've seen him on ebay awhile back and he had a Toyko Marui AEG listed but now all his auctions are so brief.
Any how,I do my purchases mainly at 6mm imports.

Doesn't ebay have policy that forbids the sale of airsoft guns? Won't this guys auctions be shut down?

Dozer_01 · April 3rd, 2006, 02:50

He puts paintball in the title so maybe that is the reason?

concept_8 · April 3rd, 2006, 03:00

Why not just ask em what brand anything you're interested in is?

[Lithium] · April 3rd, 2006, 03:13

a few of the guns are apparently utg.. and he has them labeled 6mm bb/6mm airsoft... I wouldnt trust it..

GunMaster · April 3rd, 2006, 03:16

people are bidding though, I'm waiting for his auctions to be shut down

Look at how oddly shaped the top left corner of the mags are shaped.

Relax guys...

I've done business with this seller before and he's great.

That's an LPEG M4. The mags are generally not interchangeable with TM, CA, ICS, etc.

Definately not the kind of airsoft guns you guys are looking for.

surebet · April 3rd, 2006, 16:47

Damn, check out the prices they are going for!

I just got back from a road trip through the US a few days ago - every bloody second store sells those hunk of crap guns.

They are cheap - cheap feeling and would break if used anywhere but in a chair...
