what is your asking price? I am HIGHLY interested and have wanted this gun for almost 10 years. I would want the spare slide so I could swap it out but only if it doesn't fire with the old one that has damage. I have a 10inch chrome version of this gun loose with no box if your interested in that if you could email me at symbiote-x@hotmail.com I would really appreciate it I am dead serious about buying or trading to get this gun.

I dont have a price as i dont know what to ask for a damaged gun. I will just accept the highest offer. I was about to sell to someone but they pulled out as no longer could get the money
I dont know if the gun is fully functional as i've never fired it but i can try and test it if you're interested. I assume you have seen the damage on it (pics in links posted a few posts above) I wont accept any low offers as i paid alot for this myself, though at the same time i cant expect someone to pay a fortune for a damaged gun, i just want to get as much money back as possible for what i paid for it. I can include my spare chrome slide and frame set as well, they seem to be quite hard to get a hold of now. Switching it all out would make it look like new again, as far as i know the only damage is aesthetic, the internals seem fine but as i said i havent test fired it yet. I would rather have a complete set as a collector so i dont think i'd go for the loose one but thanks

Yeah I have seen the damage, would 350.00 be reasonable? I think I was the one bidding against you on ebay for this particular gun glad I didn't win it though because I would be SO MAD if I paid 450.00 for a damaged gun. Can you put some gas in it and let me know if it fires? I currently have mine on ebay about to accept this guys offer so I can have money to buy this off of you. I assume you use paypal?

I will consider $350, not unreasonable considering the condition. Just the most i can get the better to minimise my losses.. I would need to put shipping on top of it though. I've never sent anything of this much value before so im not sure what postal method it needs to be sent, might have to be courier at that value in which shipping would cost more. Will need to look into that. I paid $100 extra (not including the amount on shipping) but of course didnt know it was damaged. You're lucky you didnt win it then really, know how i felt when i saw it at that price. If i'd known its condition i wouldnt have looked at it twice. I had got my revolver off the same guy previously so i trusted him in that it would be in good condition. Im just lucky my revolver is fine. I should have enough gas left to put in the mag so i'll test it for you maybe tomorrow if i can. Yeah i use paypal

All you need to do is ship it priority mail with a tracking number. It shouldn't cost you more than 10.00 that way it gets to me in 2-3 days and you can track it and see where it is at all times. I use to have the 6 inch revolver too, it was a really fun gun I am trying to own and make a video of all the really rare biohazard guns so far I have owned the 10inch version of this gun and the revolver. I get TONS of views on youtube and I am really excited to get this gun and show the world this piece. I hope it fires because I destroy cds and glass and other items in my videos with these guns which people really like to see . Let me know if it fires, thanks for your time.

Oh well on the customs form i have to put value, if i put it too low and it gets lost in the mail you can only claim back what the value was declared as so its up to you if you want to risk losing $300+ if it gets lost. It will definately cost more than $10 even if i put a low value. I send internationally reguarly and it normally costs me at least $30 to send things of this size and weight to the US. Im in the UK not the US so you wouldnt get it that quickly or cheaply. I can obtain a tracking number but it costs extra. Shipping method is up to you, depends if you want to risk losing money, insurance etc.
Im going to make a video too eventually of all mine. I have 6" and 10" DE (black 10" not chrome), 6" revolver, standard model Samurai Edge, Barry's Edge, custom Wesker model and the Ashford gold lugers with relief

Oh ok I thought you were located in the U.S. hmmm yeah I would put a note on the inside of the box saying it is a gun that only shoots bbs yeah I would just mark the value low I have never had a problem sending or receiving items from the U.K. I think it comes with 100.00 insurance. If you put the value high then I will get hit with a fee right?

RedDevil00 In reply to symbiote-x [2011-05-13 19:46:28 +0000 UTC]
When i buy these guns myself i ask the seller to mark the contents as 'video game toy replica' or something to that effect. Last thing to put is 'gun' or 'airsoft gun' or anything like that. I've never had any problems with mine that way. I normally mark value as $150 but i will put it at $100 or lower if you want, is your choice as the risk of losing the money lies with you if theres a problem or damage in transit. When sending stuff i get asked if the value is over £41 (around $70) if it is then i dont know what happens as i've never had to before. If its sent normal airmail then it wont have much insurance cover, it will be a very low value (around $70 probably) Either way i can add a tracking number if you want, sending that way arrives faster anyway. I dont know how US customs works with fees, here if my value is around $150 i get around $40 in customs fees when it arrives, dont know what yours is though

Yeah I wouldn't want to get stuck with any fees but I do plan on spending 400.00 on it including shipping I wonder if 50.00 would be enough to send it the speedy way marked with a low value?

RedDevil00 In reply to symbiote-x [2011-05-13 20:07:33 +0000 UTC]
Yeah i do the same, i dont want huge fees on top of it but want a reasonable value so if anything happened i'd get a decent amount of money back. Should the value be $100 then or less? $50 should be enough for tracking (which i'd guess is priority mail) Normally is around 10 days or less to the US but with tracking should be a bit faster (unless its held up in customs) If it would cost more than that to ship then i can let you know

yeah I would just paypal you the 400.00 and if it is more or less just pay me back the difference, just waiting for a few things to sell on ebay right now so I can paypal the funds to you. 100.00 would probably be fine aslong as I don't get hit with a fee.

Alright. Well i dont know your customs laws or how much things are before you get charged so its up to you. $100 here would incur a fine but US customs i have no clue. I can mark it as less if you want is up to you, is just a risk with it incase it goes missing but that is pretty rare. Up to you

Not bad for being loose. None of my guns are for sale, taken me a long time to get them all. They are a main part of my RE collection. Only selling one at all cause of the damage, have replaced the DE with a new one therefore need to sell this one. I'll let you know how the test fire goes, hopefully theres no internal issues with it

no problem, glad you're not fazed about the damage it has put most others off. No idea what the previous owner did to it to get it in such a state, especially being such a rare gun. Other than that its a nice gun, spare slide and frame set will be thrown in to replace the damage with. I dont have another spare mag but you can easily replace those if you wanted, i cleaned it up as best i could

I keep looking at the pictures of it, and can't wait to get it, just hope this stuff sells before I go insane . The damage is kind of cool it tells a story since the gun is the first of the resident evil airsoft guns and is so old. I appreciate the extra slide that will be a nice feature incase I want to doll it up for youtube

I never thought someone would find the damage so appealing lol. I suppose thats a good way of looking at it, just say it went through the wars with Leon Do you just want the spare slide or the frame as well? The frame is the most badly damaged with the stain and discolouring, one side of the slide is fine but the right side is scratched as per the pictures

Just had a successful test fire, didnt even put much gas in it and it lasted ages. Pretty powerful gun, no problems with it as far as i can tell. Put a few bb's in too to make sure it fired them ok and again no problems, bb's flying all over my garage lol. For the age and damage on the gun it works pretty well. My brand new M9 didnt work properly, other than that i havent fired any of my other guns yet. I do want to try firing my revolver though to see what thats like. Cant use my Wesker model again as the hammer doesnt work. This DE definately works though. I can take a video of it if you want, its hard to show the damage in pictures because of the light reflecting off it so i could try taking a video to show it better and test firing it if you like

Yeah it was fun to fire, makes me want to fire my own now. I just hadnt bothered after initially trying my M9 and it not working i almost expected the rest to be like that too. My can is nearly empty though need to buy more gas. I tested this on green gas btw as is all i have. 134a should be fine too though. It doesnt? I thought the revolver would have good kickback.. doesnt sound so fun then. The DE is good though. I'll try get a video maybe tomorrow if i can, had to charge my camera battery tonight. Will upload to youtube and send you the link to it here

Yeah been trying to get alot of stuff, particuarly the rarer items, though not all of my stuff is official. Nice work The costume looks great too, and i love your venom costume/masks. You're way better than me at making stuff anyway
Heres a test fire video for now: [link] I took a general one to try and show the damage but i forgot to show the discolouring under the receiver so i'll take another one tomorrow for that. My camera quality isnt great, i cant zoom in once i've started filming and it wont refocus, only stays on what the original focus is set on so when i bring it up closer it goes all blurry. I dont have the better camera right now or i'd use that instead

If you're sure, showed it best i could in the pics. Oh i see.. yeah i hate idiots that do that. I dont really get how you can buy something by mistake on ebay, theres a confirmation screen to confirm you want to buy it so its not just one click (there are a few exceptions which clicking buy immediately confirms it but those are annoying) Hope you get it sold again then. It shows, amazing work
Your gun works better than mine lol. I tried to fire my revolver and standard model Edge as well tonight but neither would work. The gas was acting up again and refusing to go into the valve Got yours in eventually but mine wouldnt. Is it just me or is the revolver really hard to get gas into anyway? The stupid angle the valve is at makes it near impossible to get the gas in as the gas canister hits against the grip and it sits at the wrong angle for gas to go in.. I couldnt get any of it to go into the valve. Gas guns can be really annoying sometimes

Oh thats not good timing I hope someone will buy it then, can just take time sometimes. Didnt you have other stuff on ebay to sell too? If you were really needing some money you could always make some more props and list them on ebay, even if not for a specific buyer there'll be someone who would buy it im sure. If money is really an issue then i will have to consider the trade option more. Its hard to put a price on props when its time and work involved but if you got 500 for the uroboros costume then i'd think they'd be worth quite a bit

Oh i see. Well it is alot of money and people seem unwilling to spend alot on things. Several RE guns have been on ebay for many months probably due to the cost, though thats just what they're worth, eventually someone will buy them just takes the right person to come along and really want it. Your costumes are amazing though. Well if you cant get the money as originally agreed then i will think long and hard on the trade option. I know you want this gun despite the damage (which has put others off it) so i dont want to just say no if you cant get the money. I dont like buying something if i cant see it (the plaga) but try to imagine how it would look. You say you're open to commissions? Im trying to think if theres anything else from the RE world that i've been wanting to make but lack the skills to myself. One i've been planning to do is make the Las Plagas sample vial from RE4, havent got around to trying to make it yet but i dont know if i could make it look good anyway. Im sure we can work something out

So you want a las plagas sample from resident evil 4 eh.. I am pretty sure I could pull it off just need some good reference shots. The plagas prop I would make would be the one they shove down that majin's throat in the opening of resident evil 5 (it would fit in your hand and look realistic as hell) I will start on the plaga and maybe we can do the plaga prop and 125.00 cash or something.

I didnt mean you give me money, i ment i could send you some if you were to do the Wesker arm as well as thats alot of work and you're already making those two things. I know you want the gun and im sure i'll like the props, i never considered trade as an option on this but we'd both be getting something we want out of it
I also thought earlier another prop i've wanted is the PG67A/W syringe from RE5. I made one myself awhile back but it really doesnt look good, just modelled out of putty with bits stuck on it lol. Would that be a possibility for you to attempt? Like i said if im wanting extra things i can send you some money to cover the shipping and also for the time and work in making them. I look forward to seeing the plaga prop and las plagas sample in the mean time and if you could make others for me then we can discuss that
