Grey import mass orders

[Raffles]

Yeah awesome, we get to pay more now...wahooooo

It's quite obvious who this is mainly aimed at. But he was selling them for a 'dearer' price than the shops. So that doesn't actually ring true eh Mikey ?

I do see the point of the forum has to sponsor the banners - as the banners sponsor the forum - so it's good business sense.

I know Skeet has been 'repremanded' for this in the past - and now AJ.

Rules is rules I guess .

He may have charged you more matey

I 100% agree with the forum supporting the companies who support the forum buy the banners, but surley these lil fish's (no offence) cant be doing much damage to the businesses?

We dont have many paintball shops in wales

in quite a few cases stuff is cheaper in the us, and at the moment they have a larger variety of products but...if we keep feeding americans pockets with $$$ whos gonna look after local businesses ? Why not speak to the uk shops to see if they can order you in a product ? perhaps suggest a new product to them etc. Keep it in the UK i say Support UK Paintball

Considering just how small the uk paintball scene actually is mate, then yes, they could potentially be doing a lot of damage.

Also, note that its for people doing bulk buys. From the post I dont think a post of "im ordering xxx from xxx does anyone want to get anything at split postage?" thread is going to cause any offence.

Lets say a UK shop was going to have them at the next round of a tournament and would make £400 on the day selling them. Yes, it is damage. Might not seem huge, but in a market like ours I imagine that every little counts. The more people do bulk buys from abroad and sell them on, the less our shops will sell either online or at tourneys, the less reason they'll have to be there at all.

And this post obviously isnt aimed at just one thing Mikey, people have been doing this for ages.

Of course im only using it as an example.

My point being, is that not everyone uses baller, at especially when such small quantities are concern i find it pointless stopping it.

Sure, if someone was posting up having 200 egos and selling them below retail then fairs fair

stop complaining - just support the uk shops and help boost them to grow, that way we may see more stuff being sold over here and maybe new uk companies coming into the market.
