I’ve been focusing in Gun Mods and learning smithing. These all increase the gun price to around Php8-10,000. But, how about going back to going cheap again. A good cheap gun is also an important base for upgrades. It becomes a question on, what did you spend on, when you buy a fairly expensive gun and had to upgrade, spending 3500-6500 after.
Php5,000 is a good budget for a gun. You can probably get away walking around with 3,000 as a negotiating tool. The pictures are included so that you can spot it in the store. Don’t worry about not getting a bargain, thats why the budget is Php5,000.
Old Inventory. If the box looks old and inside is a bit disorganized. Its not plastic covered and sealed, then you can try to ask for less. Its old stock and turning it over is more a favor to the merchant.
Gun Ban. Not being able to move much inventory for 3 more months.! Use that as a bargaining tool. If you’re ballsy try buying a gun during the gunban. You can really negotiate then.
AKs. Notice they are mostly AKs. In Divisoria or Quiapo, the Jing Gong or Cyma Mags cost around Php250 (while being sold Php400-500). The Jing Gong mags have a Key and a key slot, look for that.
This gun has an alignment problem. It affects its feeding mechanism. Its starting price it should selling for is Php3,000. But, given has defects, it will misfeed and you will need to fix it (Check online there are a lot videos on how). You might be getting a “returned” product, if thats the case you can probably get it for Php1000-1500. Check the condition of the box and carefully ask the merchant. Even brand new you could get it at 2500-2800.
AK Tactical.
It should sell for Php4,500. You could probably bring the gun price down to 4,000 if the piece of inventory seems old (box condition).
Butt-plate Issues: it easily comes off. Tape it before every game.
JG AK Beta.
Price is at around 3,600. You can probably get it for 3,000-3,400. Very few bargaining tools that can help you with this except the ones I’ve pointed out up. again since its JG its old stock, and ACM bodies are not the same TM. They have to move it.
Cyma CM-028
Cyma CM-028.
Price 3600. Most of the Merchants pawn this off at 5000 to 6000. Nope, their suppliers sold it to them at around 2600. Its CM028, this model is being sold by JG for $65. Look at the condition of the box.
Cyma CM-028-A
Price 4,300. Damn the color! Its a liability, why couldn’t they have made it at least OD or Wood-colored. At least they could have painted it wooden. Ask for a discount for the color. Hopefully you could get it for 4,000.
Accessories. The 600cap AK mags are great so you just need 2 extra mags (Php+500). I can’t say the same about the MP5 mags, which i’ve never checked. The BBs will cost Php300 per Kilo in Quiapo. These total 800.
Papers. Gun bag (Php300), The whole Registration and Permit exercise Registration (200) and Carrying Permit (360) and Notary (100) (total about +960 for the papers).
Basic Safety Gear. Mask and Goggles (300).
Clothes, get Olive Drab colored in either dull gray or dark tones.
At the least these all will cost, Php 2,060. Plus the gun, its actually possible to complete this in less than 6,000 with a lot of work and opportunity cost. If you can’t get the best deals, still 8000 is still pretty cheap to start out with airsoft.
