This sale has been finished as of a few months ago.  Thank you all for your support since last year for his family and the community.


----------


Hi everyone, please take time to check out this thread and share it with your friends.


These are items from the personal  collection of Pablo Fontana who passed away recently.  We are giving 100% of the money earned to his family.


In my possesion, I have about half of all of the items--most of the pistols, parts, and some of the gear.  Another friend of Pablo has the rest of the items in his home, such as the AEGs, magazines, GBB parts, and gear.  If needed, someone can be sent to retrieve the items from the other person if you require it.


Alternatively, you may be able to arrange a meeting with the other person to save us some driving work.  Please let me know if you want to help that way.


I will be keeping an updated online inventory of items in a Google Docs spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aq-mqXycMJ2hdE40RjMzNzgyUWs3SVZyb28wamlkdGc


--> I don't know certain details about certain items yet, please be patient as I try to find out!


I will also be making some listings in this thread as usual, but they should match up with the online inventory.  Keep in mind, like my previous sales threads, I cannot edit posts so you have to keep checking the newest posts for updates.


Thank you for taking the time to read this.  We hope you can help.  I will have asking prices as a guideline, but feel free to offer if you cannot afford the price yet still want to help out here.  Thanks!


If you wish to simply donate money instead, you can use PayPal and send money to the email address: friendsofpablo@gmail.com


I have to say it just for the heck of it, no trades.  I will try to meet you at TAA for most of these items, but if you need shipping we will work it out.  Thank you.

Hi everyone, due to the overwhelming amount of items and my already-existing online inventory, I am just going to post pictures and major updates here.  Your best bet is to check the online inventory and ask me questions.  Thanks!


Remember, more stuff is coming later, such as gear and more GBB parts.  There's also a ton of magazines at the other guy's house, you can ask about availability.


I am doing this out of my own time, so I will be held up with work or family sometimes, please keep in mind I am just one guy as well...thanks all!

What part do you need help with?


The basic version of my post is that I'm helping to sell these things locally, whether I can meet you in person or have to try and ship.  Then, the money goes to his family.

Alright to anybody who cannot figure it out:


I, and someone else, have all of Pablo's airsoft items.  We are selling them to give the money to his family.  I will refer to the other guy as J.


I am helping J with selling off the items, because there are too many for one man, and he's a family man too, to do by himself, so I am been selected to help.


About half of the stuff is with me--mostly the smaller stuff like GBB pistols, AEG parts, and some GBB parts.  The bigger half of the stuff, such as AEGs, gun cases, magazines, and gear are with J in his house.


I have a growing online inventory hosted on Google Docs.  You can click the link to view it.  Remember, there are tabs on the bottom to navigate different categories o items.


If you see something you like, even if it is pending sale, you can message me or something to let me know if you are interested or to ask questions.


Because these are not my own items, I can't determine certain things like brands, what upgrades, how long it's been used, etc...but I will try my best to answer questions.


Then you arrange with me, or even J, to meet for items.


If needed, I can ship but please consider the shipping cost when we arrange the price.


All the money is going to Pablo's family.  This is not for our personal profit.

Do you guys know if all the guns (except maybe the sniper rifle thingie) are suitable for TAA? Is it ok if you guys post the fps on some of the guns or if we arrange a meet on a certain gun and test it at TAA

Not sure.  Need to chrono at TAA to check


I am sure that all of the pistols except for the KWA USP Match meet TAA's limit.  I think the G&P Zombie Killer Stubby M4, Echo 1 Master Series MP5, and Echo 1 Task Force Black MP5K should meet TAA's limit as well.  I do not think the M4 DMR and Echo 1 Platinum M4 meet TAA's limit.


You can, carefully, test the guns at TAA if needed.

No, I'm sure the USP Match does not meet TAA's field limit.  People report FPS readings anywhere from like 350-400 with 0.20g BBs on green gas.


Most of the other GBB pistols and CQB AEGs should but I will chrono before making their listed suggested prices.

I think the WE M9 PTP (the long gun) might not meet the TAA field limit, not sure.


By the way everyone, I do not have prices listed for all of the gas magazines yet because I do not have them in my possession yet.


I cannot accurately price them until I get a hold of all of them, and test each one for working condition.  Thanks!


They are going to sell out so fast...

Hi everyone, I am going to bring all guns, mags, accessories, and gear as I can carry on Saturday, planning to arrive after 12 PM.  Bring money if you're interested.  Thanks!


Certain people have claims on items, so this will be messy.

Hi Sam, I'm bringing everything tomorrow (Saturday).  We'll see what's left!


Tomorrow is the last day for me to sell things to give the cash immediately to Pablo's parents.  On Sunday, they fly back to their home country.
