Elitist Bastard Trying To Crush the ambitions of New Players?

[Crazy]

I get this all the time, people need to learn that if your adding cash for guns people don't want, they have to make it worth the traders time and effort .

[teufelhunden]

I always deal with this when I sell a gun. I actually got an IM from someone who wanted to trade for my STO... with a bone stock TL+.

Oh, did I mention he said straight up? And wanted me to pay shipping?

Of course, someone this dumb is going to get mad when you tell them no..

Sigh. Should've saved the conversation.

[Jeffy-CanCon]

I don't think you are being elitist, or that you are single-handedly "holding back" young players.

Just tell them No, politely. "I'm not interested in your trade/offer, but good luck in finding a new gun." There is no sense in arguing with a child.

ill trade you my stingray 2, this thing has maddd upz man, i put on a 12" eagle-sport sniper barrel and a 24oz co2 tank, i dont think you can pass this deal up, you'll have to add cash of course.

It might not make sense... but it sure is fun sometimes!

I have a Big Grab bag of Doritos that Sac left at my house after eating at Subway, wouldn't you know it came with the meal. They are Nacho Cheesier. We could trade, but only if you pay shipping....

Anyway, yeah I know what you mean, there are so many people that try and trade cheap guns for nice ones. It's pretty "AGG" but besides that, just ignore them as said earlier, it doesn't make since to argue with children.

[BrockSampson]

Nacho cheesier Doritos?
Would you take an Angel 4 Fly Joy Div for them? Sure, I'll pay shipping!

[BrockSampson]

Oh, come on! If it really is a "Big Grab", I'll even throw in cash, but you'll have to send pics.

[Sac]

those doritos are mine, and just cuz ima nice guy ill go straight up for your A4 Fly.

[Latchkey]

those doritos are mine, and just cuz ima nice guy ill go straight up for your A4 Fly.

They are mine now...

Oh, and I will get on it with the Pics, I should have them ready for you tomorrow.

I can even test one of the chips before I send it to make sure you can get through the bag safely, wouldn't want you dieing on me.

There is no way their going to get a good cond dm4 from a shop for $850.00 . Even on e-bay a good cond used dm4 goes for $900.00+ .

I think on Ebay you could geyt a great deal for a DM4 pic for about 700. Plus it is brand new never really been looked at. Or at least the description was never really looked at.

[xXHavokXx]

I think the issue is people think the resale value of their gun is the cost of the gun new, plus retail value of everything they did to it. For example, the guy who really encouraged me to post this, (i have the AIM convo saved but its on my laptop at my GF's house) broke it down much like this,
E99 Avant, 25g micro switch (25), Dye IS barrel (120), some special board with eyes (150), super cool hammer (50), aka tornado valve (90), spring kit (12), enchanted bolt of something (70), CP reg (80), etc etc,

So he added it all up for me and told me his spyder was worth 900 dollars and that adding 350 bucks would make it an uneven trade on my end due to cash value.

[Stealthgerbil]

even though that spyder would rip just as well as the dm4 (I've seen a spyder FA at 25bps, so it is possible to have a fast spyder), the brand and design of your dm4 is what sets it apart. N00b dont realize this, and think that how much you invest is what makes your gun valuable.
