Magsz Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Too expensive... Ill still probably buy some but jesus man, those are extremely expensive... Brings me back to the days of having to buy 30 dollar TM standards if i wanted to run with a realistic round count. Link to post Share on other sites

Brings me back to the days of having to buy 30 dollar TM standards if i wanted to run with a realistic round count. Airsoft parts should not cost more than the real steel version. I only pay $17 plus tax for my P-Mags. It would be cheaper to buy some bulk mids and shove the internals into real P-Mags. Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I agree to a certain extent. We pay more for airsoft parts because of the scale of the economy. There are far less airsoft pmags made than real pmags. Also, making an airsoft pmag is probably more complex than making a real pmag since it has more parts. Having said that, twice the cost? Thats a hell of a markup especially considering im 99% sure that these magazines arent even made out of polymer like the real mags, merely ABS which is a total bummer.

Magsz Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 That really drives me up the wall when US retailers who get items first think its ok to charge a stupid markup for things. Link to post Share on other sites

Angry Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Even with the exchange rate the way it is I wouldn't pay that for a single mag. Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyJ Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 wait what makes this so special other than having a unique look? Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 wait what makes this so special other than having a unique look? Nothing? ~£16 for what is essentially a plastic mid-cap like all my MAG ones is mental. Link to post Share on other sites
InexcelsisDeo Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 *fruitcage* the magpul airsoft industry. there, i said it. why? they just want airsofters' money. real pmags cost less than half the airsoft ones even though they are way more durable http://www.google.com/products?q=magpul+pm...Search+Products Link to post Share on other sites
t_hum Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 eh, ebaybanned listed em for waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper with shipping... I'll buy from there... screw this overpriced markup ######. I looked twice there. Am I missing something? Also, I imagine a price drop when competitors get them as well.

rusTORK Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Airsoft parts should not cost more than the real steel version. I only pay $17 plus tax for my P-Mags. It would be cheaper to buy some bulk mids and shove the internals into real P-Mags. "Custom made". If your can do it - do it and sell. For just $17... or...? Everyone want %%! But, i'm agree... ~200% it's not good. Anyway, photo is good. It's look pretty cool. No clear window on the side to see my bb count? No thanks. I guess it's not a "Maglevel PMAG"... It's a Standart PMAG. =) Magpul Standart PMAG Magpul Maglevel PMAG Maybe Airsoft G.I. don't know WELL Magpul products or their names... Or Magpul don't ever made Maglevel... =) Link to post Share on other sites
airsoftgi Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 you are paying the licensing fees, lawyer fees, etc.... We know there are knock offs out there, but it is not worth it to get in trouble on making couple bucks. Link to post Share on other sites

We know there are knock offs out there, but it is not worth it to get in trouble on making couple bucks. No offense to you guys personally as I'm sure this is mostly Magpul's fault, but regardless of the reasons, that's an absolutely absurd price for a plastic midcap mag.

PlasticMag Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Especially when MAG produces something that works better for 1/4 the cost, if that. People will buy this, however, because it looks 'gucci.' Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Both AirsoftGI and AEX seem to have dropped their prices a bit. $28.95 Can anyone recall how much the estimated price was listed at ebayBanned.com? Link to post Share on other sites

IIRC $22.00. Paul was gonna sell a 5 pack for $110.00 or so. Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 $28.95...are you flippin kidding me? It used to be $32 before taxes... IIRC $22.00 Dang... plus that's $22 with S&H included and no taxes... If that is still correct when ebayBanned officially starts selling them I wonder if the US based shops will adjust to stay competitive? Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Unfortunately the US shops wont adjust their prices. Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Unfortunately the US shops wont adjust their prices. But they already did once. I just can't imagine how they could possibly stay competitive with a HK/China based company that can sell mags for $7 less with shipping included and no taxes. If I was to walk into either AEX or AirsoftGI today, I'd have to pay $31.33 (which includes 8.25% CA Tax). That's almost $10 or 50% more than the price ebayBanned is planning to sell theirs for with shipping included. If I had the choice, I'd much rather buy from AEX than ebayBanned... but that price ebayBanned is hinting at is hard to ignore. Link to post Share on other sites
