Wow, 380$ for a JG G36C WITHOUT shipping. Dont tell its not WAY overpriced. I mean, 105$ more than what buyairsoft.ca was asking, people were already complaining that was overpriced. Im so happy i bought mine in the classified.

That $105 extra is the difference between bringing them in legally and illegally.

did buyairsoft shut down because they sold to minors or did they illegally smuggle them in without a license?

personally, i think they may have undersold their products and didnt make enough cash to stay alive, to make money in this, you need to seel for 200% of what you payed in... and to get any guns considerably cheap enough, you need to buy crates, so these guys prolly bought a bunch from crappy retailers and tried to undersell everybody and then went bankrupt in the process (just my approximation)

BTW i was reffering to buyairsoft.ca not A&A, they definately sell for high enough :|

Wrong. They had problems with bringing the guns over the border (customs) from the US. They still made profit as the guns were still considerably less in the states then what they sold for here. About double

A&A imports their guns from China/Japan and to do it right you need certain licenses among other things to get it done. Which in turn is why costs are so high sometimes.

so, they didnt have the right paper work? ok, well do you need the same licenses for international as you would the states? or is it all different?

anyways, i was just stating my oppinion, because i found it wierd that their prices were so small in comparison, i dont really know much other than that though, other than the fact that cyma well products cost cheap as hell to get wholesale...
