Well before the Brexit vote...years before...have always bought from Europe due to strong £ and saved bucket loads of cash- whether NEW or Second hand...because I read up the rules/laws, checked with FEO and received email blessings and published that on STB...
Dont thank me all at once
Now the pound is on It's knees, definitely prices are more or less harmonized. Some stuff is CHEAPER than Europe, but by and large - bargains are still easier to be had in Europe and especially parts- WAY FASTER & BETTER DELIVERY to one's doorstep than the time a UK shop will respond to your email, or ever call you back...by which time, they figure 2 to 3 weeks, or months when the Agent tell them that's when they expect the next lot of incoming stuff arrives on UK shores...
The issue of UK shops going to the wall in the UK has ALWAYS been because of the UK agent . A mom & dad shop really cant sustain its business if they add £20 or £30 or very high ticket items.
Ive always said- Manufacturers should sell directly to shops - for a healthy competitive environment - all win - UK shops, UK shoppers and manufacturer...
Using a Middlemen country Agent ...well...Im a businessman, and I know what that's all about ... £££££££
I cant prove but know a scope brand being sold in Europe jacked up its price because of Grumbles from UK agent...
Regarding the snippet attachment...
All my kit modded by Jon - I have emails and vice versa regarding the gun, are catalogued, and all came from Europe
So if anyone is in the market- looking to BUY , ask the seller to prove it with email from Jon regarding the power pimp.
PS: I dont really know about "bodge artists" and dont care to publicly name them...I can only vouch for Jon Harris & Mick Tromans work. Second to none....
I totally endorse Krale-Schietsport (and confirm I receive no commission or back handers) for referring buyers to them >> viewtopic.php?f=187&t=133
The Most important point is to have the choice & source where you spend your money - and that's a freedom discriminate shoppers will always enjoy...
