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

A UK private seller - not a limited company and not a trade retailer. Kit is bought from airsofters leaving the sport, from clubs, and from families clearing a loft.

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, measured in the pictures against a rule, and every fault is named in the description. 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.
