    If you want to do a bulk order of aegs, say 20? i presume it would be cheaper to contact a supplier rather than a reseller, how do you contact a supplier, or does any retailer want to tell me who there's is?

    Well, unless you can prove you're a legitimate airsoft business, no wholesaler is going to give you 20 AEGs at wholesale prices. The best you'll be able to do is order 20 AEGs from a retailer and ask for a bulk discount.
    What kind of AEGs are you looking for?

    Your best bet would be to contact Shiva and ask him to make an order specifically for you, i'm sure you'd get a fair chunk off the full price.

    thanks i'll compare his prices to asian retailers now.

    pm or email him directly and ask for a price, he'll probably do better than what's on the website for a bulk order and since it's helping a site start up

    Remember that a lot of those models seem to clock in around 350fps stock atm, it would be a shame to have 15+ Aeg's destroyed.

    don't worry i'll check, I also think I'll change the g36c's to ak's leaving it more rebel vs. usa type of thing, thanks

    Since you're considering a biz investment (as opposed to hobby expenditure), two quick ones:

    (i) you may get a better unit price by buying 20 of the one type rather than 10 of two types

    (ii) you may make your life a little easier about asset maintenance, by having the same units for which to order the same spare parts (instead of two sets of spares for two different types, e.g. V2 GB for M4s, V3 for G36, different hicaps, barrel lengths, etc, etc)

    id imagine the G36c's and the M4s would be better sellers than the AKs to be honest, not as many people are into the russian stuff as there are into the american and HK stuff.,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 519 ✭✭✭Crave


    well the long term plan would be to set up a few sites, franchise the name, sligo would be a consideration, but the first would hopefully be in the south dublin area, looking into places approx 3 mins off the m50 with bus access and a little walking involved ;)

    and thanks ambro, very good idea!
