Did not know.  Unless his shop doesnt hold stock and products get delivered from where ever the factory is?  Not that i want to provide excuses

I read it somewhere a few years ago.

He has an European warehouse and an American one. Batches are sent to those 2 hubs and then delivered 

 
Blimey, I don't check in for a day or so and miss all the fun - I need to set an alert on this thread!!

You can't buy this kind of entertainment! ?

 
It could be argued it's almost worth paying his over inflated shitcunt price so that knobitch doesn't get another sale.

I believe originally these were being shipped from the factory in Taiwan, so had a hefty import charge and £55 shipping. Since then he's got them in Austria, so shipping to the UK is now £15 with no import tax. Much cheaper to get hold of them now (that said I'm also trying to sell one and am now reconsidering my price... ? )

See, a probationary period or post limit before new members can sell here doesn't seem so bad now, not if it discourages jizztrumpets like that from taking liberties ?

But what would this thread look like then? People being reasonable and discussing the price and how they got it wrong? 

Nah give me the shit posting and drama. I'very read the 'what's my gun worth' thread so I'm  not buying at those prices ?

 
Its the surprise and outrage coupled with the complete and utter failure to read the title of the thread that gets me every time.

That's the thing, they're all like "your all bullies, I'll fight the lot of ya", & we're all thinking "dude, you've been a member for an hour, read the rules & the thread descriptions, ffs".

Expeliatum, back to FB & ZIN with you ?

 
Its a novel way of doing it, but at least it seems to be a case of the outcome being either informative or entertaining.

I genuinely don't want to knock anyone for modifying a gun. 

I just think the price is very very optimistic.

Dunno ?, while not everyones cup of tea it's certainly unusual & guaranteed to get attention, £150 for something so unique is prob cheap, especially when you could pay twice as much for a pos Nuprol lol.

That's my recollection too. The original purchasers got absolutely rinsed.

But that's no reason that someone in the market for one now should pay anywhere near current retail, unless you really reeeeeally have to have one right now.  Looks like the next batch won't be shipped (from Austria) before May.
