There is a growing market for the clear stuff but the markup where a $100USD gun sells for $350CAD just isnt there with the guns that pass customs easily.

I hear your concerns as well, but we got very little to work with here.. Take G&G: how many G&G clear receiver retailers are out their any way in Canada? I'm having trouble finding them, and I'd be very interested to know what kind of margins they're willing to work with. I suppose if they want to be in business to simply pass time then they could give them away at cost. The numbers don't lie. We're not taking advantage of anyone here. I know I don't have much room to play with on my pricing when it comes to G&G. G&G knows they have good products, and charge their dealers accordingly.
In fact, I'd have to place an order of 500 guns + to get an additional 5% discount from them! Only 5%..They're sticking to their pricing with Canadian retailers. With an extra 5% I doubt that will change the price much. 500 guns with one brand is a little too rich even for the up and coming Mach1airsoft organization. Support the Canadian dealers if you can. It's appreciated. We're doing all we can, and going about it honestly and legally.
At least I am. I get the impression KenC is definitely a stand up guy as well.
