I think the 100% markup is perfectly fine as these retailers do have to contend with brokers and customs carriers and as their fees pile up in the end it adds up to about 100%. what I don't agree is retailers like A&A who obviously starting to go apeshit on their prices marking them up like 300% above cost that is just greed, even in the days when we can get full black AEG/GBB guns mark up has always been no more than 20% the retailers such as DEA, APEC, Hotshots, SDUnit and AMC make their money from custom modifications, consumables and parts. Some of teh old Vets here in toronto probably still remember the days of AMC charging $60 for a bag of.25/2500 cnt bbs when the real cost of it shipped is only $12, I just think of the extra price I pay for a AEG/GBB as a payment for all the pain in the ass agency ie: Customs, Brokers, CP/UPS or Fedex that I don't have to deal with personally compared to if I were to bring this shit in myself. $50 for a mag ain't that bad you pay around the same for AEG mags, yes you can get it cheaper online but factor in the shipping the tax and the brokerage fees it will all add up oh as Pus said it later on you don't have to pay rent on the stores retailers does.

Pus, chill out man you're gonna get a frickin heart attack soon.

lol I know eh, sometimes I think it's better when I'm banned, my blood pressure goes back down to normal levels :D

also,
add rental fees for a retail location to sell out of to the other charges that you listed as well.

That's cool Pusangani, I realize that you have to pay for your shop across the street from Pacific Mall (too bad I didn't come out to Markham when I was in Toronto this summer). Anybody else but you carry these that doesn't have to support a physical store? :cool:

I'm very interested in a Cansoft Scar and maybe 5 extra mags (yikes, that's still only 150 rounds!) but after shipping that'll end up over $1000 when the Scar's street price is only about $200-$250 USD in Hong Kong or the States.

Thanks for carrying them anyway.

Where are you buying your AEG mags? Because you're getting ripped off...

You can get AEG mags from overseas, after shipping and tax, for about $10-$20 a mag depending on brand.

Hahaha ... you will eventually reach a point where you don't give a shit anymore, especially with all the n00bs nowadays - just go on ASC just to check your inbox or modify your threads and let that be the end of it, saves you trouble.

any chance that a 50rnd mag would be available in the future for the we gbbr?

I think they're talking specifically about GBBR mags being ~$50

What's the best and cheapest place for WE M4 mags anyway?

The whole world know you can get mags cheap overseas what I meant was instore they are usually around that price for teh reasons I stated, even if you can get mags at $10-$15 each (which I do) by the time you factor in the duties, time lost sitting in customs etc. I might as well get it at a store where i can just go in pay the piper and leave and enjoy my shit while some of us are still waiting for items to clear customs. How many times have you wound up buying a mag or whatever parts in the classified or existing retailer because the shit you ordered is gatherng dust waiting for CBSA to clear??, last time I checked those bastard still have my PTW mags from last year and it just cleared like two months ago and I don't even owned a PTW anymore.

Never.

Not that I've never bought from Canadian retailers at all (I've made a few purchases from Duy at AirsoftParts.ca etc).

Well you guys in Saskatoon must be a special bunch because here in Ontario especially Toronto our CBSA love us so much that anything resembles a firearm gets flagged and this started way before they have a clue to what airsoft is and before this forum exist (I'm talking the times of airsoftzone and Xring for those who just tuned in)

buying from Duy is awesome, go in pay and within hours i'm on the field, can get stuff cheaper, sure why not?, but why go through all the hassles when some one else has already done it? and all you have to do is pay a bit more, see my the point?

I've heard they are stricter at the Windsor Border crossing or the various ones between the US and Ontario but that may be an airsoft myth.

Out here, I've seen people getting entire guns in but that's the CBSA's problem and not recommended. It's the wild wild west!

hahahahaha

Question -- Does Krylon make a color that is close to the tan lower on the non-cansoft version?

Answer -- No, it doesn't. The closest one is the Tamiya model color or the Duracoat paint or spend another 140 $ get color lower body from the retailer who you buy the gun from.
