Looks like a A4 not the A4 Fly as the description is trying to sell. No eye's for a start.
Please correct me if I am wrong?
Might be worth keeping the post to the top of the list until the auction ends.

It is a scam I have seen that sequence of pics before they have been lifted straight form a web forum and they were used to show the "New" (at the time) A4, those pics were taken at one of the American events I can't recall which it may well have been the WC last October . Plus all the other clues are there, new member, zero feedback, silly user name,bankers draft and the low start price plus the wrong decription for the item. Oh and why do they always live in London...nothing wrong with London but if you want to look legit say somewhere else...If I actually lived in London I would say the borough of London due to all the scams that go on are very similar to the scams that happen with people alledgedly from Nottingham...as Ebay seems to have all the cheap stuff from these two areas

I'm getting sick of theese scammers making our sport look bad..

Hi there,

Just wanted to give you a bit of help, before you get stung!
This auction looks rather dodgy to a few of us full time paintballers. It might be an idea to do a bit of background checkin before sending your money. we have been discussing it at www.walkonzone.com under thread DODGY EBAY ANGEL.. check it out
Hope this help's

They keep popping up all the time.. they seem to always the high end markers and start real cheap to pull people in with no reserve..

I got stung twice myself when i bought 2 markers from america.. and now these guys are doing it from the U.K. side too. I know there is exceptions to the rule and all but forewarned is forearmed (sp? and possibly just made up that sayin myself? ):)
