Just met up with him today and traded a bunch of guns for his pimped out ICS SPR.
Gun was very nice, and although the drive sucked (GR to Detroit and back), He paid for gas!!
Nice guy, would definately do business with him again.

Participated in a 3-way trade with Miles and Kender. Miles held up his end of the deal and sent me the shotty exactly as described. After he was no longer busy, he shipped right away and it got here a day later. Would not hesitate to buy from again.
A+

Traded a WA 1911 for his TM 1911 [upgraded] Awesome and easy to communicate with. Very fast and simple deal, and rolls with the punches if they come. I plan on doing business with him again if he has something I want  10/10 |

I bought an M4SD from him, love it to death. I bought it as a back up gun, but I think I might use it as my main.
Great guy! Drove out to his place, he was right there with the gun. Would easily do business with him again.
He is recommended.

G&G VTAC 9' M4 Build -G&G Plastic Body "GI" M4 base -Madbull VTAC 9' Rail -FDE Magpul MOE Grip -FDE Magpul MBUS sights -FDE Magpul MOE Stock -SRC V2 Gearbox (So I could shoot indoors) -JG Blue motor -Prommy Tightbore w/ REAPS bucking -Surefire Scout Repro -Gearsector light mount Repro -Larue Rail covers -Blackout AAC Flashider and FDE Supressor Selling this off because I use my 11' TRX M4 way more. This is great gun and ranges well and has a killer trigger response. Missing the charging handle in the photo, but I will include it. I will also include two PMAGs. Any questions, please ask. $350 without Flashider set-up, $375 with.   - I'd like to give a small review over a trade that I did with Miles. He found me on the 'AirsoftMechanics' website, asking if he had anything I was interested in, in a trade for a VFC 416 that I tuned a JG gearbox for, and installed an r-hop. The terms were as such: My 416 for the above VTAC build, along with the original gearbox, all of the externals, and I throw in $20 for the XPS in the first picture. I wanted something different, so I agreed. Miles practically begged me to ship priority, which I agreed to as long as he would ship the same. We both shipped on Friday July 20, 2012, and gave each other tracking numbers. He said mine was to here Wednesday (Today), although the 416 was to be there Monday (two days ago). This puzzled me. I got the box, which had 'Parcel Post' stamped all over it, today. I opened it, inspected everything. The XPS is beat up, some rust, no big deal. It would have happened anyway. The gearbox is actually JG. The G&G gearbox's wiring is shredded, essentially. Breaks in the shoddy soldering points, not heat shrinked. I chronoed the gun with GoldenBall .2s on an XCortech chronograph, clocking in at a mere 230... Air leak anybody? I message him these problems in a civil manor, and in response, "Shooting 230? It chrono'ed right around 310 at a game two weekends before. There must be a problem with the REAPs bucking because I was using a prommy instead. The wiring should easily be fixed and I threw in the gearbox for your benefit (I expected nothing in return). The only thing I really have to apologize for is the Parcel Post. Priority would have costed me $20 more and it would of came Tuesday. I really didn't think a day would make that much of a difference. I really do apologize for that but I had to look at what just made sense. I lied and I really shouldn't have, but if you were in my situation I would of expected you to do the same." I'm disappointed. I created an account here just to post this, and probably won't be logging in again, since I live in Kansas. I just thought I could share the experience. |

Did you get my response?
1) Air Leak is probably due to the REAPs bucking that you SPECIFICALLY asked for while I was gonna include a prommy purple. I used this gearbox for indoors play and I specifically stated that in the ad. You never asked for a chrono reading, which was actually around 310 (confirmed at No Limits, ask Pagan).
2) G&G Gearbox was included as an extra (putting my trade value greatly ahead of his), and the wiring is an incredibly easy fix (solder and go), so why is that even an issue? Do most mechboxes you buy from retailers completely wired up?
3) I admit I did ship Parcel Post, but this was only because of common sense. The package would of arrived on Tuesday if I shipped Priority, which cost me $20 more. $20 for one day? I don't think so. I should of informed the buyer of this sooner, but I completely forget the fact. I did apologize for this in a PM I sent him and, again, I really don't see it as a great issue that would "disappoint" you.
4) And, did we not discuss over PM's that I did not know the exact make of the gearbox? And, didn't we come to the conclusion it was indeed JG. Where is the problem here?
I have done over 75 trades, purchases and sales across the net, and the issues you raise are incredibly minor, if we really want to get into this let me state some issues with your part of the deal.
1) There are several scratches on the body and near the barrel. I believe you said the externals were flawless in your ad? I do not know your exact wording. But, in my eyes, it is something so minor (as in a simple air-leak caused by a bucking that is known for leaks or a simple solder job on an EXTRA gearbox I included for your benefit) it can be ignored. These are the problems with trading airsoft guns, no one's expectations can ever be fulfilled.
2) You included NO magazine which you said would be included in the original ad. So let's see a $15 M4 magazine - you can keep it. Buy yourself some wiring ($5 from Home depot) and a new stock G&G bucking ($10).
Do not taint my name before contacting me.

So let's see a $15 M4 magazine - you can keep it. Buy yourself some wiring ($5 from Home depot) and a new stock G&G bucking ($10). Do not taint my name before contacting me. I clearly did contact you, in which case you basically said, "You're SOL." I'm not trying to start a war, that was a simple review of what happened to me. I don't care how many trades and asked you have done, that doesn't change this one, so get off your high horse little lady. 1) I asked for the REAPS because I simply want to use it in an R-hop to spite A+ airsoft, it's a comical thing. Regardless, you don't sell something to someone saying that it's their fault for not asking if something is wrong, when it is implied by the OP that it IS in functioning condition, which it is not considering that massive drop in velocity. It is the responsibility of the seller to ensure that an item is functional, not for the buyer to ask, "does it have any air leaks at the bucking?" This is also assuming that it is the bucking, and not something else. 2) The gearbox was PART OF THE DEAL. I'm not about to straight up trade a gun with great externals for a plastic body, because that would be stupid, no matter the upgrades. You see that gearbox in the 416 there? That is stock wiring with a deans plug soldered on. If i wanted a gearbox with even more resistance to the gearbox than it already had, I would have requested it. Again, the responsibility of the seller to provide accurate descriptions to the best of their ability, is it not? 4) I don't have a problem with the make of the gearbox, I'm actually happy about it. I stayed that because I'm your OP, it says SRC, and I was just getting it on the record. 1) As quoted from my for sale ad, "Externally: This gun is in magnificent condition, I used it in Operation: Broken Home back in May, can't find a single scratch on it, except for the flash hider just front taking it off, and the mag release from taking that out." 2) I actually just responded about the magazine. It was unintentionally left out, and I apologized, and wish to send it to you if you would still like it. I have no use for an HK mag, especially a hicap, since I only use mids. |

Where did I say you were out of luck? You made that assumption yourself.
1) The huge FPS drop is due to the REAPs bucking you asked for, I was going to include the prommy (which I used in the gun when I shot it). When I used the REAPs, which I even did I review on, I used a bit of teflon tape, but I took that off when I put it in this gun. The gun is functioning, and the 230 FPS is playable (I would gladly use that FPS in CQB, which I stated what I used the gun for). You asked for the REAPs, which apparently leaks, so simply change it out or wrap some teflon tape around the bucking.
2) It was part of the deal. The GEARBOX, not wiring was part of the deal. I bought two complete gearboxes from retailers. Neither included wiring. I included the wiring because I thought I was doing you a favor. Simple solder job and bam, you are done.
4) Ok.
--
1) There are scratches on it.
2) Keep your magazine to make up for my mistake on the shipping. Fair?

In this OP, you state that it comes with a REAPS bucking, not a Prometheus purple bucking. Had someone else purchased this for that outrageous price, they would have the exact same problem. Okay, so that wiring on all of these V2 gearboxes is just imaginary then: www.evike.com/advanced_search_result.php?search_in_description=1&keywords=complete+gearbox&osCsid=6b1cff0d04327f2130bfa649dd2f14b9&x=0&y=0Stating that complete gearboxes do not come complete is just dumb. The JG gearbox you put in this gun has wiring in it, need I say more? You're contradicting yourself. Again, if I wanted to add more resistance to the gun, I would have asked for it. Wiring is part of the gearbox, I don't know of anyone who thinks otherwise. |

I gave YOU and all who pm'ed me (two people) on the gun the CHOICE of the buckings. Outrageous price? Get off YOUR high horse.
Stock G4 AEG - $175
MB VTAC 9' - $95
XPS - $45
Stock - $60
Grip - $20
Sights - $25
Silencer Set-up - $80
JG Blue - $30
Extra Gearbox - $15 (to be nice)
Scout Repro - $40
Scout mount - $15
Prommy Tightbore - $50
Rail Covers - $5
Total - $640
When I bought a complete mechbox from Ehobby, no wiring was included. Now if I did include everything in the Evike pics (which I did, just with a break in the wire), you would still need to get a connector to solder on (which I included), so there is some work involved. The wiring I included had a break in it, so the solder job you would need to do with the connector could be moved to the break. Case closed.
Please lock this or move his rant to commerce reviews. This is wildly inappropriate to handle the matter like this. I'd rather him PM me or do it in the review section. Thanks.
