And another one has come on for even more, £850 this time,

Maybe speedsoft has peaked & they're selling on asap while the market is high (as a kite)

For a while or forever? Good to go along and see things but the prices they put things at are extortionate

With that said it will be sad to see another of the "old guard" shops go. To be fair to them they do tend to have quirky stuff you'll struggle to find elsewhere in the UK.

I've never quite understood how they could maintain a shop that size in London at the relatively low footfall.

 
I actually found Wolf fairly well priced. I've been "going" there almost 20 years - and every time the staff have been useful

Oddly, I was in there yesterday.

We ventured into London for some moon experience exhibition thing with some visiting friends and happened to be walking past. 

Lots of TM stuff in there (with tags to match) and the guys seemed ok. 

Nearly bought an m93 until he pointed out it was an aep. ?

I like that it lists the price of the original TM Hi-Capa, then every single part that's been replaced, which appears to be... every single part.

Trigger's Hi-Capa? ?‍♂️

I’ve bought quite a bit in there since I started, and actually my most recent TM recoil buy was in there as it was the best priced at the time. 

Never had an issue with the staff but appreciate others have - maybe it depends which day you go in!

 
I used them a bit back when I worked in the square mile, so easy to jump on the tube at lunchtime & grab what I needed, plus at one point I was getting trade discount there via a site owner/teammate, which was nice?

BUT

On ALMOST every occasion I visited I found staff, including the owner, to be arrogant, borderline rude, & very much up themselves.

Only reason I went there as often as I did was because:

1. I was getting very good prices

2. It was local, & being an old fart I hadn't fully embraced buying on the net, needed to "feel" the kit.

But once the discount had ended & I'd stopped working in london, not felt the need to even consider them for online shopping.

Yes, on the occasions I went there, staff were unpleasant.

No hi-capa is worth £700, no matter how much the seller has been silly enough to throw at it, especially as the original straight out of the box TM variants are superb on almost every level, anything added is usually just prettying them up, bit like a girl with her favourite dolly ?

That's what I can't get my head around. I'm not saying it doesn't exist but I haven't seen quantitative analysis of how spending 3. 4 or even 5 times the value of the base gun on parts gives a significant gain in performance.

I hope that in paying more than 1.5 times retail value of a JBBG special, the seller throws in some magic beans or whatever illegal substance he was on.
