I would take one for $500 but $600 and the need to buy $50 30-round mags on top of that is aggravating when it should be legal to import and thus the double markup is hard to swallow on the basis of covering seized items.
This is the only Cansoft I would ever consider as the actual Scar also has a polymer lower so it wouldn't bug me so much. I'm just disappointed in the pricing.

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.
