He's also after £300 for an SAA. Because he's made a nice box for it

Here's another joker www.gunstar.co.uk/brand-new-umarex-colt-single-action-army-45-peacemaker-co2-b/Air-Guns/1500583£345!!! for a blued SAA! Now that may be a really nicely made rig, but given that I saw it and the gun go for £120 at auction (with an 18v shells rather than the 12 he's advertising), that seems a hell of a mark up. He's also claiming it's brand new and a BB firer, when he bought it as used and it's v obviously the pellet version. I've had a look at a few of his listings,(he's very local to me) they're generally overpriced by quite a bit but this one takes the biscuit.

And as for the price well that's simply ridiculous.... (btw, I've renamed this thread as we seem to be finding a 'few' of these unscrupulous sellers at the moment and it would be good to have a current thread on this very subject for everyone to post to)

You wonder where he got it from. If he paid for the Walther Winchester he was well ripped off as the Umarex Cowboy is about £150 cheaper!

He reckons Pellpax, but they're advertising at £289.99.
He's selling another gun for the same price and also claims to have paid £489 for that so I reckon many have been genuinely confused when writing the ad. Either that or he's telling massive porkies.

FFS ! £250 for a TRR8 replica ! The only thing I like about it is the fibre optic sights and the 'S&W' grip medallions (even though they're just cheap plastic ones).....But it should really be an 8 shot revolver (hence the 8 in the TRR8) and it should have a shorter barrel like the RS version (from memory I think it was either a 3" or maybe a 4" barrel). Plus ! It's actually a 627, not a 327, as it's in a bright steel finish, the blued version is a 327. Jeez ! My handgun OCD has really kicked in this morning and it's only just 8:35am ! lol
