I was browsing this site yesterday, and I saw some pretty ridiculous prices. Examples include: Thompson m1928-$250, when at airsoft GI you only pay $164 CYMA .28-$150, when at Airsoft GI you only pay $109 CYMA .42-$240, when at Airsoft GI you only pay $164 Green Gas is $10 overpriced, as in some cases with the bbs they stock. And those are just a few of the many examples...
When shopping at this retailer you are going to pay up to $15-$50 more than you should be. Be smart and invest your money in the goods of ASGI, Airsoft Atlanta, Airsoft Station, ect.

You know small retailers pay much more for products wholesale wise than places like Airsoft Atlanta, ASGI and the big boys do right? As such they are sometimes higher in price. If you are a local to the Clevland TN area it might be worth the peace of mind to support your local guy that will probably give you much better customer service than a guy on the phone halfway across the country. Just saying there are other perspectives you might want to consider...Oh and in the wrong section.

With all honesty, I would rather buy from a notable retailer such as ASGI, get better customer service, better price, and know I'm in good hands, than buy from this place, in which I'm going up in price. If I had a local airsoft store, hell yeah I'd buy from them, but when we are talking online transactions, I'm putting my money where I know it counts. I'm not sure if they are good in customer service or not, but I know ASGI is, and at a much better price. I'm sorry sir, but in this instance, I would rather not spend my money at all. Fifty dollars is a pretty good difference, and in some cases more.

Ahhhh Walmart syndrome. No biggie. Just important for people to sometimes consider other perspectives.

And I am. I would gladly buy from them, or any local retailer if I had one, but I simply don't. I'm not quite sure if you are getting my point. If I was local to that store, I would indeed buy from them, or any other local store. But when restrained to only online transactions, I aim to make my money count.

No I understand. I am just unsure why you went after this particular retailer. Did you have a bad transaction with them? From what I have seen the owner seems to be trying to start up some WW2 airsofting in his area as well. That is another good reason to support him.

I saw one of his vids on Youtube, and thought his site might have some nice inventory to check out.

Well, apparently, my SGM (wife!! LOL) ordered 'something' for me for Christmas LAST Sunday, she has yet to get a confirmation, a shipping tracking number, not even an email with her password reset! Guy is not returning emails or calls. If she doesn't hear by Monday, she's going to contact the credit card and dispute the charge. I think she ordered the Ares M3 for my KW USMC Recon Company impression.
