    Has anyone seen this new site for digital warehouse?
    www.dw2.ie
    They've increased their range of airsoft weapons but seem to think it's ok to charge €359 for a JG Steyr Civilian. In fact most of their stock is outragously priced.

    The phrase 'airsoft weapons' does not exist, they are toys or sporting equipment.

    Steer clear of those guys, everything is overpriced there.

    EDIT: This is over twice the price of this.

    €499 for the Army R85 that Shiva has for €149

    TM M3 for €399 that airsofteire have for €229

    €325 for a Desert Eagle that airsofteire also have for €149
    i was going to delete this thread, but it's much better to leave it here to show how much they are overcharging by


    Edit: and probably the biggest joke of all is the RWC M40A3, a very nice sniper rifle yes, but not worth €3999 (no, that's not a typo, it is 4 grand), it's a Red Wolf Custom rifle from redwolfairsoft.com for the still slightly expensive but not as ludicrous price of $1988, about €1380

    You can't do anything but laugh at those prices.

    They're selling the RWC M40A4 for...€3999!

    http://dw2.ie/airsoft-guns/big-guns/rwc-m40a3.html

    It's $1,988 on redwolf. So that first three ain't no typo.

    Two minutes between your timestamp edit and my post. That's what I get for taking my time replying!

    In my defense, I was so shocked by the prices, I couldn't figure out how to portray it in words ;)

    And?

    "And discussion of over 1J airsoft markers is forbiddon"

    Im going to assume that a retailer took the necicary steps to ensure the markers compliance with the Irish laws prior to importation. We can only give them the benefit of the doubt.

    thats stupid money for some of those., although ive talked to a few people in hrta that bought their stuff there., youd have to be mad when there are other retailers even in this country selling the same stuff for a hell of a lot less.,

    Hey,

    I was just looking at some of the new airsoft stuff on DW2 and I think it's a little unfair of everyone to brush them off as expensive or low quality!


    What about the chrome Desert Eagle available on Airsofteire for €50 more than Digital Warehouse are charging and they are both TM!
    http://www.dw2.ie/airsoft-guns/pistols/desert-eagle-air-gun-silver.html


    I can't see enough info on the other weapons to tell if they are good or bad value! I just thought it was unfair to completely write them off! :confused:

    The difference in price is because the one on airsofteire is a gas model. DW2 are selling an electric model. That's like comparing oranges and mandarin's.

    And there's plenty of info on the various other ranges if you look hard enough.

    Um... that piece of crap Desert Eagle you linked to is most definitly not a TM, it's an electric blowback pistol which is powered by AAA batteries, the one on airsofteire is gas powered, EBB's are cheap and pretty useless, the one you linked to is worth maybe 50euro at most

    I'd consider €50 a huge stretch for that too. Would even take a springer over an EBB.

    EBBs are nothing compared to the other pistols and 50quid is a bid adventurous., but their a bit of laugh, i got one for the little 4yo gun fanatic, he loves it and it looks like my stuff without the power so pretty safe for him aswell., I let him shoot out the back of the house but with it and he thinks its great., he cries every time i get out of the car at HRTA though, he wants to come kick it with the boys.,lol,
