The angry thread!

The trick with the opposite sex is training.

Positive reinforcement works well

'Oi sweetcheeks, I'm buying another gun'

If she tells you to f**k off, spray her with a water bottle and tell her again.

She'll either kick you in the nuts (repeat the water bottle once you've stopped throwing up), or she'll kick you in the nuts till you feel bad enough you buy the gun anyway whatever she says (WARNING: BUYING THE GUN ANYWAY MAY LEAD TO BEING KICKED IN THE NUTS).

 
im angry because I found out that I will be spending more towards the £800 mark than the £600 for a P* :(

 
^^That too. It's better to slow down, consolidate your options and look forward to something rather than buy it straight away

 
yep of course, will be 3 months before i get the money anyway, I am taking everything into account.

what are you putting it in?! a combat machine?

fusion engine + regulator + tank is pushing £700 on it's own!

 
until customs bum you.

cheapest I could price up a polarstar when I was interested in doing it was ~£900 and that wasn't with a G&P as a base gun!

$670 for gun. $100 for reg. $30 for some other shit. so thats $800. however, on evike they have %20 coupon codes etc, saving 160 bucks so $640 + say $80 postage 720 bucks. that = around £430 which then + %25 = around 540. then + £70 for a tank = 610 + some other shit like bbs = £650.

It was the assumption that life is that kind :)

Also - where did you get the 25% from? Was it an assumption on VAT/duty? There's online calculators that will let you know exactly what you'd be paying. You also forgot to add the value of the insurance to the import duty cost calculation and there's no mention of brokerage fees either.

well there you go, that idea went to sh*t pretty quickly....

how much would the insurance and brokerage fees be? thanks for pointing that out.

I would be paying roughly £540 (using vatcalculator.com)

I understand about life though something is bound to happen.

Insurance and brokerage costs are very much dependent on who the carrier is and what the value of the items in the package are. You'd need to get a shipping quote through Evike if that's where you're buying from. The duty and VAT calculation is a bastard. You have to include the shipping cost and the insurance then calculate the import duty, add it on then calculate the VAT on the whole lot. So you get taxed twice in effect. Bastards. Bastard coated bastards with a bastard filling.

This is the calculator I used in the past http://www.dutycalculator.com/new-import-duty-and-tax-calculation/

i was worried it wasn't a straight up %25. thanks for the help and the link and warning me!

 
well I don't know insurance so put down $20. Put everything down and got to £550. that figure seems to be lying, how much do your reckon the insurance for these things are. (betting its money based -_- )

 
Pass. But I'd be leaning more towards JCheese's price than yours to be honest.
