Why are Airsoft Weapons, so expensive in the UK?

[Ian_Gere]

Worth bearing in mind that, just because something is expensive, does not mean that it is actually good. And conversely, just because something is cheap, that doesn't mean it is necessarily crap. CYMA AK's for eg., G&G combat machines, JG G36C, A&K SVD, etc...

Like somebody said above, you just have to find the bargains...

I was quoting low end gear for airsoft as well!

As I'm bored and killing time till I go home

basic golf set from American golf: £150, plus balls/tees and clothes, green fees at my local council course £30 a play

basic priced adult mountain bike from halfords £200 plus a way to transport it

basic price road bike from halfords £350 plus a way to transport it

basic digital SLR camera £200+

xbox 360 4gb £120'ish plus games, plus xobox live

dunno the price of girls these days as been married for nigh on 17 years, and the price of that keeps rising each and every day.

So entry level airsoft is the equivalent to entry level for each of these, but if you get bitten by the bug of those then it is also very easy to spend a hell of a lot more. So people who bemoan the price really need to compare it to something else before bemoaning said price of entry level airsoft.
