More guns than ever

Anyone noticed how there seems to be more guns available at better prices than ever now?

since the collapse of the retail market.. seems like quite a number of independant small volume sellers have stepped up.

I love a free market... but my cash flow hates it....

Happy buying everyone!!

I've noticed just that, a positive side effect of more competition among smaller retailers

But for every one good person who joins the sport, 3 annoying, underaged noobs who are incapable of using google try to join.

Good. More guns-lower prices- more players- sport becomes more mainstream in society-less soccer mom freakouts.

Well, now that A&A's inflated prices aren't being used as the bar anymore, and with Shootsoft bringing in good stuff at competative prices...

Yea, my accountant is going to hate me in the near future if this keeps up. Or at least he would if I had an accountant.

Fact is, AAsurplus pretty well had the monopoly on the market, and 007 wasn't doing much to compete because with only 2 retailers and all of canada as your market, business is pretty ample if your just one man.
But when you start up a new business, you need customers, and to get customers you need a hook, a hook like lower pricing. So more small importers and more retailers = more competition = cheaper guns.
Customs may not like it, but we sure do
Haven't I said this like 5 times before? The more retailers we have the cheaper guns will be? lol

Indeed you have. As much as I'm not a fan of total free market, I can't argue with all the airsoft goodness.

I wasn't going to say anything either, but damn, prices are coming down to the levels Rangers stocked guns way back when in 2004 and 2005.

The thing I like most about this whole thing? You really need to get age verified now to buy stuff. Haha, burn in hell you underaged bastards!
