General advice about selling

• BE NICE! Good manners and politeness goes a long way in our books, so as this site is a community lets be nice to one another.
• Be honest! If you’re selling a piece of gear be absolutely upfront about any problems or blemishes it may have. Airsoftclassifieds will not be held responsible for disputes arising from misdescribed goods. In the event of this happening you are protected by Paypal.
• Particularly in the case of airsoft guns be clear about age, fps, modifications. POST PHOTOGRAPHS. They say more than words about your item.
• It is up to the seller to ensure that the goods purchased are correctly packed and fit for purpose. Excessive postage charges will not be tolerated.
• Send all Items by recorded delivery, and insure high value items. Airsoftclassifieds will not be held responsible for badly packed or uninsured items.
• Get the contact details of the person you are dealing with, both the seller and the buyer. Contact phone number, suitable times to call, and email address are the minimum.

BUYERS

Since October 2007 you can only buy a realistic imitation firearm (one that looks like a real gun) if you are at least 18 years old and meet one of the following conditions:

• You are a ‘registered’ airsofter with membership of an insured skirmish site. To be registered, you must attend a properly organised and insured airsoft site and play for at least three days over a period of no less than two months. Even if you attend and play the three days in your first week, UK Law requires that two months pass from the first day you attended before you can legally be registered.
• You are a member of a properly insured historical re-enactment group or society.
• You are a film, television or theatre production company.
• You are (or are acting on behalf of) a museum.
• You are a Crown Servant in pursuance of your Crown duties.

If you cannot meet any of these criteria, you can still buy an imitation firearm, one whose principal colour is significantly different to that of a real firearm – i.e. bright green, bright blue etc, commonly known as ‘two-tone’ guns.
