Wonder how much the final uk price will be, but it's good to see a uk shop getting new stock it

[doom6668]

I'll have mine by the 18th or there abouts, assuming work doesn't prevent me from picking it up straight away. Ha ha.
Well spotted that man.

[Polski Ben]

so, you pay £50 to pre order it without knowing what the final price will be? seems a bit bonkers

[doom6668]

Nope, you have a good relationship with your dealer, he accepts the fact that you want one 'cause hes your dealer and you always buy from him, you pay no money and most importantly; You ask him "HOW MUCH"? then you go and pick it up when it gets in. Its called "talking to people".
Simple really and not at all bonkers.

Don't forget; ask "how much"?

Nah it's £50, this is the entire wording on the page for it:

PRE-ORDER ONLY PRICE! £50.00
The first Tokyo Marui AEG to have a mechanical 3 burst system!

Type 89 rifle was developed by HOWA Machinery Co., Japan, for National Defence Forces of Japan.

Type 89 rifle is a select-fire, gas-operated, rotating bolt firearm. The gas action and bolt group is somewhat similar to USA-designed AR-18 rifle, previously manufactured by HOWA uned license from Armalite Co (USA). Type 89 rifle has receiver made from stamped steel, polymer furniture and flip-up aperture rear sights. It also has lightweight folding bipods. Type 89 rifle may fire rifle grenades.

I don't see anything about it costing more than £50 or the £50 being a deposit. If I paid £50 for what's advertisied right now and then got asked to pay more I'd flip and throw the screenshot I just took at trading standards.

Someone needs to revise their wording.

To be honest if I paid that right now I'd expect them to honour that £50 price tag

You know I very very nearly did, I even had my credit card entered into the box and then I realised I couldn't be a**d with the arguing all the "well your website said this... etc etc... missleading information etc etc trading standards etc etc...". Got enough stress as it

/me buys and takes screenie.


£50 non second hand non LPEG AEG FTW!

Sorry to burst your bubble but...

Customers will be contacted regarding full payment details when ready for shipping.

So you have been notified that you will have to pay some more before it gets sent to you.
Sorry

Anyone actually know the legal status of screen shots?

Too many amateur lawyers here I think...

Cheers.

Still would you want to screw over a decent retailer for the sake of being pedantic? You know full well it's not £50

/hissy fit

[doom6668]

Lets be honest it wouldn't happen would it. I mean;

"Wheres my 'kin gun?"
"I payed the £50"

Reply

"go away, you're not getting it 'til you pay the balance"

End of discussion.

Exactly why I didn't go ahead with it.

We know full well it's not £50, they'd just use the same cop out that Amazon did when it was accidentally selling IPAQ pocket PCs for £15 a few years ago.

Anyway they've changed the wording on their site now


Hmm £280....hmmm.. no no no!! the girly will make me buy her 280 quids worth of shoes or something I'm so whipped

What the funk is all that rant about? Relationship? Talking to people? Everyone knows the purpose of online retailing is so you don't have to talk to people, a convienient one click method of purchasing.

One would think that the actual price would be posted on the site, so customers would not have to go through the ball ache of ringing up/ emailing.

[doom6668]

Rant?
One may think "i live close to the shop, i'll go and have a look",
got a problem with that?
Maybe, and this is a far fetched idea i'll grant you, some people live in the real world with real people and not behind a keyboard.
Well i said it was far fetched.

[sadigh]

They've put up the rrp of the rifle on the pre-order page, its £279.99

[Polski Ben]

i was talking about the majority of interested parties who do not live round the corner, not you doom6668.

[doom6668]

Fair enough, mate crossed wires, no prob.
