The 'What have you just bought' Thread

[Mr Monkey Nuts]

You spent £100 on a barrel?

Inner barrel, you get what you pay for and a pdi is about as good as it gets.

Actually I've been skanked because the barrel was £88-odd and the shipping was free (not that they should charge VAT on the shipping but sometimes they do).

While in Hong Kong I treated myself to an early birthday present of a GHK G5 and some extra mags

Being escorted by 4 armed police men to have it security checked was kind of cool, and if I did not know better, two of them may well have been airsoft players themselves as they had a brief discussion on the G5 while checking it was not a real gun.

I thought shipping was subject to tax at the same rate as the product?

That's not what it says on the Customs & Wankers Excise webby, iirc. But either way there was no shipping charge - it was 14385 Yen which PayPal already ripped me off on by charging me £88 to pay (as opposed to £83-odd) so, although I realise it's pointless arguing, I am going to chase it up once I have the barrel on Tues (so it cannot get delayed) - fuck it, I'm borderline disabled: I've got nothing better to do while I wait for meds to allow me to actually do something constructive than whinge over a few quid / i'm sure those few quids add up to a fair sized xmas party if they're doing it to a lot of people.

 

[Liam Porter]

I'm pretty sure it is subjectable to VAT, as it's a service?

 

[Ian_Gere]

Hmmm... you may be right, Liam. Nonetheless, there was no shipping cost to charge VAT on, so they definitely ripped me off.

I think that just ruins the look of airsoft RIFs as it's essentially like a flamethrower that spits bb's and is very expensive.

fair do's, The hose doesn't bother me but the advantage of HPA seems to far out weigh the disadvantages when comparing accuracy, consistency and sustainability
