    about the above

    yes strange how it goes but i have put things up for sale with no interest and yet on the bay sold for up to 3 times you advertised it for , some radio scanners on there to were being sold for more than what they cost new , think its a case of no luck at £3 each but 3 for £10 and they all sell , the amount of people who will walk into a £ shop like hypervalue and spend £40-£50 on rubbish they never even use and not even sure why they bought the items except that they were cheap,

    yes the VFR bill has thrown a spanner in the works...but theres still ways around it...ive seen silencers called ''extensions'' and barrels being called ''tubes''.......you cant sell airguns,but you can sell compound bows which can kill....stupid i say.

    I was selling a rolex on the bay a few years ago and it got thrown off three times for being a fake. It turned out a guy selling a similar watch for more money had reported it. When i found out i took great delight in returning the favour. Its just too easy to get listings pulled If a complaint has been put in.

    £46 sounds cheap,today the other MK5 barrel on there is up for £75 buy it now.
    In saying yes to this air rifle you are confirming that you are not a messer and are allowed to go out in public without your carer

    It is a total lottery.......I have sold maybe 500 items in the past (3 accounts) , and have had 4 or 5 pulled.....a trigger, a cap gun, and a cylinder spring to mind... yet like you have seen several similar items listed at the same time by other sellers. You have to be aware that there are also some sad individuals (the bay police) who sit for hours finding stuff to scare them and reporting it, as well as word recognition software (the red alert when listing) that picks up on 'banned' items....not always immediately due to the sheer numbers involved, but normally within 48 hours as the operatives work their way though the listings checking them.
