About Pre-loved Tactical

We buy whole collections from airsofters who are hanging up their rig — the player who has moved on, the one whose knees have given up, the family clearing a loft. It arrives as it was left: muddy, in bin bags, missing a buckle.

Every piece is washed, checked and made right before it goes back out. What cannot be made right is sold as spares and said so plainly in the title. We photograph each item against a tape measure so the size you read is the size you can see, and we name the faults rather than hiding them in the small print.

It is good kit. It cost someone a lot of money, it has one season on it, and it deserves a second owner rather than a skip.

The facts

What it is: Pre-loved Tactical is a shop selling second-hand airsoft, military surplus and outdoor kit.
Who runs it: Pre-loved Tactical is the trading name of ThinkWork Startup Consultancy Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales, no. 14427406. It is a one-person operation rather than a trade retailer: kit is bought from airsofters leaving the sport, from clubs, and from families clearing a loft, then cleaned and sold on.
Where it is: Eastbourne, East Sussex, United Kingdom. Everything is held, cleaned, photographed and posted from here.
What is sold: Pouches, plate carriers and rigs, magazine carriers, combat clothing, helmets and head gear, bags, optics, rifle parts, patches and airsoft guns. Genuine British Army surplus alongside airsoft kit, all second-hand unless a listing says new.
Condition: Everything is washed and checked before it is photographed, and every fault is named in the description rather than hidden in the small print. Anything beyond repair is sold as spares and said so in the title.
How to buy: Most items are bought through the linked eBay listing, where payment and buyer protection are handled by eBay. Airsoft guns and blank ammunition are not sold on eBay or Facebook: those are sold directly, by enquiry through this site, and answered by hand.
Delivery: Posted from the UK within two working days of payment. Postage is priced per item, and is GBP 1 for each extra item on the same order. Worldwide delivery to around a hundred countries through eBay, which quotes any import charges before you pay and collects them with the order. Airsoft guns are UK only.
Returns: Items bought through eBay are returned under eBay's policy for that listing. For an item bought directly, write to the address below.
Age and the law: Airsoft guns are realistic imitation firearms: over 18s only, and sold only to buyers with a defence under the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006, checked by hand before anything is sent. Blank cartridges are over 18s only. Body armour covers are sold without plates unless the listing says otherwise.

Questions

Is everything second-hand?: Yes, unless a listing says otherwise. Kit is bought from airsofters leaving the sport, from clubs, and from families clearing a loft, then cleaned and checked before it is photographed. A few items are new, sealed or opened but unused, and those say so in the title.
How do I buy something?: Most items are bought through the linked eBay listing, where payment and buyer protection are handled by eBay. Airsoft guns and blank ammunition are not sold on eBay or Facebook; those are sold directly through this site by enquiry, and answered by hand.
Can I buy an airsoft gun?: Only if you are over 18 and have a defence under the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 - UKARA registration, membership of an airsoft site, re-enactment, or another ground listed in the Act. The defence is checked by hand before anything is sent, nothing is reserved until it has been, and airsoft guns are sent within the UK only.
Do you deliver outside the UK?: Yes, to around a hundred countries through eBay, which quotes the postage and any import charges before you pay, collects them with the order and handles the customs paperwork. There is nothing to settle on delivery. Airsoft guns are the exception and are UK only.
How much is postage if I buy more than one thing?: Postage is priced per item, and each extra item on the same order adds GBP 1. Add them within seven days and eBay works it out at checkout.
What condition is the kit in?: Everything is washed and checked before it is photographed, and every fault is named in the description rather than hidden in the small print. Anything beyond repair is sold as spares and says so in the title.
Do body armour covers come with the plates?: No. A cover or carrier is sold as a cover unless the listing says otherwise, and where plates or soft filler are included it is stated plainly in the title.
Where are you based?: Eastbourne, East Sussex. Everything is held, cleaned, photographed and posted from the UK.
Can I return something?: Items bought through eBay are returned under eBay's policy for that listing. For something bought directly, write to [email protected].
