Our own Shiva is after going ahead and opening up an airsoft retail store.

www.eirsoft.ie.

I just want to wish him the best of luck with it. He has a selection of 7 AEGs up at the moment. At the prices he's selling them for, they're going to fly.
(trying to resist the urge to buy one myself...would if it weren't for the damn FAL :mad: )

CrazyRabbit

hehe...nice play on the word 'airsoft'. It's quite catchy and easy to remember.

Best of luck Shiva.

[--SC(+)PE--]

Best of luck Shiva.

chalky

Nice.
Good Luck Shiva.

One question: will everything be sent by post, or will there be an option to collect?

Fiach Dubh

Excellent, nice one Shiva. I'll try to put some buisness your way

EyesOnly

O>M>G im going to be skint for the rest of my life.....

Wish you all the best and ill be putting an order in soon

P.S if this aint on ASI it should be (aint looked yet)

Voodoomelon

Best of luck, I will point all my mates and potential airsofters in your direction, as i'm sure everyone else will.

Might I suggest a stock level indicator though, there's nothin more annoying than ordering a few items and not knowing if theyre all in stock.

gandalf

Good luck Tony shame I have bought everything I need already. Bar spare mags and BB's but I'll direct anyone over to you if they are looking for anything.

Any plans to do BB's, Gas and Mags you could do very good business selling the consumables.

Oh Sweet. I wanted a few more myself but was hopeing I could get
them within Ireland! On the Lookout for a Steyer AUG Irish Army style
and a realistic looking AEG Pistol and a spare short aeg that I could
maybe get one or two friends to try out with.

The Prices on the stock so far are amazing.
What do ye reckon is the best buy ?

Dboys M4 A1
Well Heckler & Koch MP7
Are both tempting.

May buy next paycheck. Hopefully stuff
can be shipped to an address other than the
billing address as was going to chance getting
it sent to work.

No BB's themselves though which I thought would be
there. (I got no local supply)

Creating an account now. There should be no need
to make the Post code "a must have" though considering
Ireland does not use post codes!

(Edit: Just Thinking it may not be something he has control over
if its a secure shopping cart made by company)

Just to let you know Tony. I was creating an account and zip/postal code is a required field in the form.

Might want to alter that!

ASI Casper

I'd advise changing it to an optional field rather than removing it though.

liamo333

Nice one:D

Should be sending some buisness your way.

Be great as well to know if something is in stock or not.

I have a habit of only buying when I see something is in stock.
If something is out of stock that I want I usually end up not waiting
and either buy something else instead or keep searching elsewhere.

I'm still trying to get over the prices!!! they Rock!
Have passed the URL onto some of the guys I work with
who thought my AEG's were cool and some of which
expressed a wee bit of interest in.

Best of luck with the shop Shiva, think i shall invest in the JG G36C and the MP7 in the next week

The Master

Hope this goes well for you Shiva ,
Im already eying up some of the products

ASI Casper

BTW, to my knowledge, he's only selling what he has in stock.

Although, best to wait to hear from the horses mouth.

Hivemind187

Nice one Shiva.

I'll be after a number of those myself.

... oh and I wish we had thought of Eirsoft during the IAA meetings lol.

fletch...

WOOHOOOO!!!

Thats deadly! I want to buy stuff right now but gotta wait 3 weeks til after my holidays :mad:

best of luck shiva, think il get me one of them G36C,s or if you happen to get in any other mostly metal bodyd aegs that would be cool.

RC car fanatic

I think you have to take the number 1 spot for new player with most guns bought in the shortest amount of time. Seriously. It took me almost a year to acquire just four

Shiva. Great to see it. Best of luck.

LOL more money than sense me. Feckin 9 Airsoft guns now after the Galaxy MP5 PDW came today.....and I have to move it all to the new apartment now DOH!

Shiva

Wow...thanks for the good wishes lads...really appreciate it.

Right...I'll try answer some of your questions here...

Firstly...I've made a couple of changes to the site. It will now display the quantities of stuff I have in stock. For the moment, its quite low...I didnt want to go mad spending a few grand on stuff that might not shift.
Judging from the interest both here and from emails sent to me from the site though, I'll be placing another order at the weekend...and probably a lot larger! if theres anything special you want, let me know by emailing me the link on the site.

I'd appreciate if you didnt use the boards.ie forum as a means to request stuff...I don't want to draw any (deserved) flack from the admins about advertising. You can PM me here with requests though, if Oisin doesnt mind.

The stock pictures are pretty crap on the site - I'll improve them as I get time. I was holding off on going live until I had a few more things done, but this morning I just felt there was no point wasting any more time, and went for it. There are a few other tweaks and changes I want to make to the site...I'll get to them eventually. Some of the more American things, like requiring a Zip code, I'm not sure I can do much about - it depends on how flexible the backend software is. For now though, just put your Dublin postcode or your county in there - there's no sanity checks other than the field be filled in.

With regard to stock...if its listed on the site as being in stock, then I have it. I hate sites that sell you items they dont have in stock, and I won't do that. An obvious exception is if its a special item you want.

Deliveries - Yes, you can collect it, but by appointment only. I'm located in Glasnevin. If you live within a reasonable distance from me, I can probably also deliver. And if Nonex has no objections, I can also deliver stuff at HRTA if I'm going to be there when you are.

Prices. Yes...they are very cheap, for a good reason -

In my *real* job, I own my own IT consultancy company. I'm reasonably good at it, I enjoy it a lot, and I make a reasonable living from it, so I won't be giving it up any day soon. Eirsoft is and will remain a shop run by an enthusiast, so the prices you see on the site have only a very small margin on them as a slight recompense for me running the site. I'm not going to be Ireland's first Airsoft Millionaire. Having said that, I aim to provide the best customer service I possibly can.
I will try my very best to keep the prices as low as they are now, but a lot depends on various details outside of my control. My aim though, is to always be a cheaper option than buying from Asia, at least with regard to clones.

Consumables. Yep, I plan to stock BBs, batteries, chargers and gas. The problem is finding a supplier. BB's are easy to source in bulk, but they cost a bloody fortune to get shipped into Ireland because of the weight. I'm working on that though. Gas is a similar issue...it has to be shipped by sea, except in the case of propane, which I can source locally. But over time, I'll be stocking up on lots of extras. I opted mainly for AEG's this time round, because I figured at this stage in the growth of Airsoft, that's what was needed most.

Phew. I think thats everything. Thanks again for the good vibes...I really appreciate it.

Oh ! Before I forget - Yes Lightening...I'm ordering some L85s this weekend...I want one too !

NakedDex

On the topic of gas, most people seem to be switching to propane anyway. Maybe stocking those propane adaptors and the propane cans and oil? It'd seem more cost effective too

marco murphy

Well done on the site.

Voodoomelon

A seller with good grammar, i'll be buying from him!
Guess i'm too used to 7 years of eBaying!

Looks like you're being bought out quickly enough

I was surfin till about 2am this morning and there was 7 AEG's listed
now there is 4. Good start!.

I bought a G36C and spare mag today I wanted to get an M4 also but I have no more
cash left to spend this month.

The MP7 from looking at the pic of it I was not sure if it was a full SMG
or an oversized pistol type thing-e-me-bob. For the price
I was tempted to get that too.

Going Forward I'm after a Steyer AUG. I Ideally wanted an Irish Army
looking one. However after reading a review today about the
Jing Gong Black version it seems to be a good enough one too, its just
the lack of the scope on the top looks a little odd. So will defo buy
one from Eirsoft in the future if they should crop up.

Ah...you're a bad man Mr. Shiva. My money is literally dancing around, singing "spend me, speeeeeeeeend me!"

I love the G36C myself too. Great looking piece. The only thing I find is it's become very popular lately. The UMP is more unique

True i noticed that also, poking around a few sites and checking the quantity levels. It was a close call between the 2, one thing i really like about the UMP 3 rails under the barrel.

I meant to say regarding the photos of the AEGs I like the way they are done in www.rsov.com with the AEG beside the actual box. So you know exactly what make it is and what comes in the box.

Yeah, I might adopt that style too...I'm not happy with how they look at the moment - its hard to make out any detail on some of them.

Dave!

Well done mate, and youre a genius for coming up with Éirsoft!!!

bullets

I was up late last night having a debate in my own mind
about to buy or not to buy. I was waiting for my girlfriend
to fall asleep so she would not find out I bought another.

I'm trying to save for a garden wall at the moment.
I have 66 Euros towards it. Yet I was able to buy a Nintendo WII,
two AEG's and now today another AEG.

I am just an impulse buyer!

I wanted an M4 real bad today was getting cravings today in work.
