    Always make sure you know what you're trading for..

    Well I THOUGHT I was trading my cyborg for an a4 fly, the entire time I was thinking A4 Fly.

    When I got home today the package arrived from the third party, I rip it open and find an A4... plain stock A4... I'm thinking WTF this punk lied to me then told the third party he was sending an A4... I call the third party and they say they thought it was an a4 the entire time, well when I talked to them the 5-6 times I called I ALWAYS said A4 Fly, and they never disagreed with me calling it an a4 fly.

    I check the AIM logs and find the word fly was never used, once.

    The entire time I was assuming that I was getting a fly when I wasn't.

    I'm trying to work out a deal where I give him a little something and trade back for my mistake. I feel really stupid right now and don't know what to think.

    Just a word of advice, always get pictures and know exactly what you're trading for, I'd personally rather have my cyborg over an A4 ANY day.

    Cyborg - Lighter, More Efficient, More Consistent, Quieter, Eye System, Faster, Worth More

    Why the hell would I trade for an A4? I wouldn't had I known it was an A4.

    Perhaps I'm out of the loop on WDP's model lines, but hasn't the fly always just been a lighter version of the gun of which its name accompanies?

      The A4 Fly has eyes and is worth much more.

      You can sell an A4 Fly for 1100-1200 used, and you might get 700 out of regular A4, and that's stock.

      It's mainly value that I'm looking for, I could have turned around and sold the A4 fly for 1100, and bought another cyborg for 800, making 300 bucks in the process.

            Why not just throw the Predator II board in there and have an A4 Fly? Any other differences are negligible. If you want to throw something in extra, won't it just end up costing you more money in the long run?

              Because I paid 25 bucks for this CP reg (brand new) and that would be enough to tie him over I think.

              I'd rather not spend 300+ bucks just to make this into the gun I THOUGHT I was going to get, I'd still rather have my borg.

                You made a deal to trade a Cyborg for an A4. Now you want to trade back because you are an idiot, and didn't get what you told yourself you were getting, but what he said you were getting.

                If I were the other guy, I'd politely tell you to F OFF!

                  Watch the flaming, now.

                  But, just for your info - the Pred II board is only 160.

                        Blaze, man I feel sorry for you. But I know your pain, I sold a kid a preBE revvie for five bucks to later find out there was a guy who wanted one for forty, in the same day.

                        I hope the person you traded with treats your Cyborg well. He just bumped up his gun value an easy 600 dollars.

                            How do you figure? They are equal in value, the A4 and the cyborg. He was trading for a fly A4 (or so he thought) because it's more valuable.
