3rd Party trading service

[baker21]

i will also no doubt be able to change o-rings, and flag defective/worn parts of the marker

no offence mate but by the sounds of it your not a tech?am i right?
so with that in mind i doubt people would want you to be takin £600 markers appart to try and source a leak or problem.just my 2pence

good idea tho but think there has been a thread on this before,but they didnt want to be paid

EDIT;-BEAT ME TO IT

You're so last year, i offered this service way back and allthough everyone thought it was a good idea, no one has shown any interest, and i wasn't charging £10 a go.

ok despite the fact that you did this last year - ive only been on these forums a rediculously short ammount of time - it's still a good idea, and this year or last year, nobody wants to be ripped off, and £10 isnt really that much! I have no job as i say, and live in the middle of no-where, with no transportation( i'm learning to drive! ) i have broadband access 24/7, and can check my emails several times a day - as well as being one of those people who always has his phone on him - and can use my phone to comunicate, msn, or aim. I don't mind being hasstled if something isn't exactly right - i'm a complete perfectionist - i'm just puting the idea out there, for people who need the service.

ok, to the above ^^
im able to get a marker i don't know to a guntech at campaign paintball, cobham, and after i've been through it with him - if he's willing ! - i reckon it wont take me long to get used to the anatomy of most markers - i can do stuff like mags now, that only took a week. plus my dad's a mechanical engineer, and did some compressed air stuff, as well as pressurised water stuff, so he'd help if i'm in dire need. Also if i know i'm getting a marker in - like a timmy / shocker that i dont really know, i can print the manual off the internet, look at troubleshooting, contact people with a better understanding than me etc, so there's a real knowledgesource out there available ...

yorgie, i appreciate your comments, but i would feel a bit cheesed off if i sent you a £1000 marker and you took it apart.
You don't have anywhere near the reputaition you feel you have, and that is what is important with this service.

 

[yorgie]

I wont take it apart - read the website, unless otherwise asked i'd just take photos of the outside, with an accurate camera, and send it to both parties for confirmation of the trade, mainly it's just getting both traders happy with the state of the marker theyre recieving and nobody "accidentally" leaving out something like an airtank, or barrel, or something like that

Probably the reason why it hasn't taken off over here is that there's more 'sales' transactions and deals going on rather than 'trades'. It would be a great idea for trades (1 gat for another) but not so for sales as the buyer would have to pay the cash for the marker, give the 3rd party's detaisl to the seller, pay for postage to him, give the 3rd party his own details and pay for postage on to him after. With trades you can both agree that you'll have a third party, decide who it is and sort it out throughh there, all out in the open, a buyer doing it will be more 'shady' and be going against feedback or whatever.

It's much easier to browse/ask around about a seller and the state of their kit rather than pay a third party.

 

[baker21]

would you really want to risk f**king up a marker worth a grand tho?i wouldnt

 

[newboy]

so what your saying is, you will try to fix any marker(mags included) but if you cant you will get your dad to help out(only if your in dire need) as hes good with presure and water and stuff

Sorry bud, would only take 1 £1000 marker to go missing and be blamed on you for this whole thing to go pear-shaped.
No-one on here knows you, there's no way of us trusting you. You could just be a scammer with a website. You've been on here 12 days and expect people to pay you to send £100's of kit to you when you don't even own an air cylinder!

Your heart is in the right place bud, but it needs to spend more time talking to your head.
Someone could really do you over you know. You charge for a service, something goes wrong and you end up in small-claims court getting a rogering.
Or Worse.

this service is basically established as an idea leached from pbn, so for 1 marker for another trades, or items for items, i can photgraph / document the state of both items, and send them to the opposite trader, or both , and allow them to confirm or refuse the deal, sending the items to the trader who owns them, or the one who doesn't - if you understand that at all! - i won't touch the internals of any marker - i'm not qualified at all.... so unless someone says - heres some cash to get the internals fixed - i'd get it done by a quallified airsmith - such as campaign's airsmith... i'm most definately not one to open up an ego, and sorta scratch it up and loose bits - plus you'll have photographic evidence if i do! (and yes, i'm skint, which is why i've set this service up, so i'm not willing to break an ego, and by a new one - i'll work with i break it, i buy it ) so - no i wont open the marker up, bad idea, i'll just snap some photos, repackage them and send them out
