Christmas Break

We’re taking a few days off now for Christmas. You can still post your ads as normal- they will be approved by DEC 27th at the latest. New year's eve and New Year's Day may also be slightly delayed! (REMEMBER- the Prefired admin team are unpaid volunteers who have earned a break!)

Thanks to everyone who has supported the site this year. It’s been another tough year for Airsoft but we got through it.

We’d like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!

The Scammers of the Internet seem to have become aware of the Airsoft community lately, with a noticeable increase in reports of people being conned on social media, forums etc. They've obviously worked out that the value of  used Airsoft guns is fairly high, and they could stand to make a fair bit of money from us. It seems that the current method is to sell an item to an unsuspecting buyer, then trick them into using an unprotected  payment method such as a Bank Transfer,  PayPal "Friends and Family"  or a Paypal money "pool" rather than a normal PayPal address.   You should only use these methods if you know someone personally and know you can trust them. The item often isn't even theirs to sell, as in many cases the auction text and images are stolen from elsewhere on the net (which is why sellers must comply with our image rules).  Once they have your money the seller obviously never sends the item, and then becomes unresponsive to the buyers queries when it doesn't arri…
