OK.

So I write a post saying I’ll be on vacation back on the 19th, and I forgot to publish the damn thing.

Well, I’m back - and I apologize to those who’ve been waiting for email replies for the last week.  I’m getting around to each of them now - so expect a reply in the next 24 hours.

Cheers!

Clarification from AirsoftXtreme International.

by Mr.Subtle | August 26, 2008 at 9:47 am
Filed under · Airsoft

I recently had an opportunity to ask the folks at AirsoftXtreme International for some clarification on the whole lawsuit fiasco.

Here’s their response:

…Up to now we still havent received any word nor a single tissue paper that says we are being sued by an unknown team.

As we have explained in some of the forums that It is all a black propaganda done by Popular Airsoft. ( A Filipino online magazine which you have to pay US $3.99 to download per issue ). They wanted to sensationalize a story for them to get known in all airsoft community. All Malicious posting on online forums and news were done by Popular Airsoft.

We will always continue on producing a FREE Online AirsoftXtreme Magazine and we will still continue to produce Printed Version in high-quality paper.

AirsoftXtreme #7 (Sept-Oct) will be out very soon.

For those not in-the-know, here is the back story we (and a dozen other sources/forums) reported back on July 17, 2008: Airsoft Xtreme Magazine Sued by United Airsoft Alliance (UAA).

Until anyone can prove otherwise, I’m happy to say that this is all bogus, and AirsoftXtreme International is alive and well.

If you have anything to add to this story, please email me directly at mr.subtle (at) 6mm-mag (dot) com.

Well, I guess Paul had a change of heart, or renegotiated a contract with a dealer, because now the EbayBanned retail store is open again.

Oh, but many G&P Products will have a 10% price inflation.

Hi All,

After the negotiation with my dealer, we will come again for retail !!!! But the price of 20 items (mainly G&P items ) are increased around 10 %. We will restart today later time.

For the client i sent them package late last week, do not worry, my special offer will late you feel happy again

Paul

EbayBanned.com: Clarification update.

by Mr.Subtle | August 13, 2008 at 9:04 am
Filed under · Airsoft

The folks at EbayBanned.com were gracious enough to answer a few questions for me.  Here are the answers, to clear up any miss-understandings.

1. Retail operations are suspended indefinitely.  Wholesale operations are GO.
2. Yes, they are still expected to sell AEGs, just not in a retail capacity.  Retailers that join the EbayBanned Wholesale program will be able to purchase AEGs for resale after the Olympics.
3. Wholesaler price list is in the works, in the meantime, contact Cindy at ebaybanned@gmail.com for more information.
4. Exact retailer requirements can be discussed with Cindy at the above email address.

That about does it.  If you have any more questions, please feel free to email us again - or contact EbayBanned.com directly.

I’m happy we could clarify some things for our readers.

EbayBanned.com: Yes, they are closing RETAIL operations (maybe). No, they are not closing entirely.

There’s been a lot of discussion regarding this note from Paul lately.  I figured it was clear enough in Paul’s letter, and didn’t need re-iterating, but here goes.

Paul MAY BE closing down the RETAIL side of EbayBanned.com, and starting to sell to retailers WHOLESALE.  So while EbayBanned.com is not closing entirely, for the moment; you will not be able to buy directly from them without a Registered Business number, likely an Importers Number/License, and a minimum $1000 order.

So if you want to buy EbayBanned.com’s products, you will have to look to local retailers to start carrying their goods.  If you’re worried about price, well, according to Paul - prices can potentially be LOWER than he currently offers.

Once I can get a list of North American (specifically, Canadian) retailers, I’ll post the list so you know who to buy from.

If you have already been accepted into Paul’s Wholesale program, send me an email and I’ll post your info to muster up some sales.  Paul’s products have always served me well, and I’d love to help keep the business flowing.

Cheers.
