How Much Have You Spent?

[bobbling]

Just wondering if anyone kept a tally on how much they actually spend on their hobby?

Does anyone still own and use the original kit they bought, or is a case of buying new gear or upgrading all the time if funds allow it?

So basically I just want to know what everyone has spent so far?

I think if everyone kept track they would feel sick :lol:

 

[Rock-climby-Dave]

currently on same kit as when I started (1 year ago) and only due to lack of funds due to guns soaking up my funding

spent on guns £500? ish

spent on gear £100?

spent on ammo - don't want to know :/ probably £100

spent on visting sites £150?

yeah.

best thing to do is:

'never keep track of costs on a good hobby'

The majority of people I spoke to have spent +£1000 on it, and some haven't been doing it all that long, but I notice most people have "spare" guns and surplus army surplus :lol:

 

[Rock-climby-Dave]

yeah, but to be fair, the majority of people have jobs and thus disposable income :lol:

 

[Team Hatchet-Mags]

been playing for 5 years so thats alot of money lol...

easily £2000-3000

 

[Nutster]

as the mod team on here know, that statement applies to me

i did a quick round up got to £2000 :blink: and stopped

 

[Cam-the-airsoft-sniper]

Oh dear just realised how much I have spent on my M4 marksman rifle..... And my stoner.. And that bloody faulty drum mag!

This is great. This type of thread was just started about a month ago on our local site.

So far probably around 900 pounds

 

[JerseyRider]

Well on my JG M4 CQB £120 to buy it enother £110 for upgrades a farthuer about £200 on gear... i carnt even remember the rest...

I think i have done well though

 

[G-Force]

i think its best not to think about it :lol:

 

[abbadon101]

Considering I built one gun that cost £550 in total and bought my sopmod that set me back £650 I think I might cry if I really looked back through it all.

I am probably looking at about £3500+ now and I have been doing it 2 years.

Hmm I think it is best I don't dwell on this especially as I bought a Hurricane HK416 last week...... this doesn't look good does it.

Honestly so far: about £10 on some extra 58 water bottle pouches and £3 on a flecktarn Field cap for the summer and thats it.

However in the new year when I can fully kick start this awsome hobby it shall go up somewhat

- £130 on a CA Sportline M15

- approx £20 on a decent battery for said AEG

- £30-40 on a few extra mags

- £???? on a M1911 (however not sure to go for gas or electric yet

GAS! there isn't a electric 1911 anyway as far as i'm aware.

 

[Rock-climby-Dave]

marui do an electric one I believe

personally, I wouldn't get a sidearm for now, spend the money on mags, BB's and a lovely red dot

 

[Matt!]

i'm not sure they do, the only AEP's ive seen are Glock18's, P226's, Desert Eagle's and USP's

 

[Indieboi918]

Since I started in September? £1000 maybe just a little bit over. I think I went a little overkill. But that's xmas & Good GCSE result money for ya.

 

[Sam1454]

As I have been involved with the cadets for over ten years both as a cadet and an adult instructor, also involved with the territorial army most of my kit is multi roll multi purpose but all kit and weapons I'm looking close to £5000 in those years. Worth every penny

 

[craig]

let's see then

weapons

l85a2 - 400

l86a2 - 400

me56 - 50

p226 - 100

p226 - 100

misc

10 hi cap mags - 25 each

susat - 120

acog - 60

4 pistol mags - 30 each

colthing

dpm - free

ddpm - free

mtp - free

chest harness - 30

a grand total of £1630 not counting grenades, site cost's and food

over the last 3 years

why did'nt i take up fishing instead

 

[Matt!]

i think fishing would of cost a ###### site more!

The cost of professional rod's and even pole rods is far greater than an airsoft gun dont forget line, reels and bait!

Its a hobby who gives a ###### how much youve spent if you enjoy it
