Well, I thought I did calculate the rates up in the above post. By taking a gun from overseas and doubling the cost is one thing (what is done with most aeg's, gbb's, and other higher cost items) but to take a decent already cheap gun from overseas and quadruple the cost is just ridiculous. They are making twice as much profit then what the gun is already worth. But I guess its how they make their money, and they can control the costs, and people will keep buying. and even with duty fee's and such, they are buisnesses so they get discounts on that sort of stuff, not to mention, I'v ordered $500 worth of airsft gear and didnt have to pay any duty on any of it. So there probably not paying alot out for costs like that.
