I'm curious as to what some of you think about the stuff that's commonly posted in the EE? Having looking through that forum, I'm finding strikingly like e-bay. I say that as I'm seeing posts where the items are oftentimes either priced the same or amazingly enough, higher, than new from a vendor/store/shop. |
. I much prefer it to ebay though.
Yep, Lots of sellers looking for I've gotten a few good (not great) deals, and wasted a lot of money on trash. IME, if the seller doesn't give a detailed description of the item's condition, I automatically assume it has problems. I've gotten a seriously rusted barrel, a barrel with TWO open gas ports, a barrel with amateur welding on it, broken/counterfeit accessories, and airsoft crap labeled as the real thing. None of these defects were revealed by the sellers. |

I would compare it, generally, to a lot of gun shows. A lot of crap for ho-hum prices. But, if you are patient and know your market there are deals to be had. After my experiences there I will only buy in person. I would sell through the mail though, and offer the buyer a money back guarantee if they return the item in as shipped condition. |
