CHINESE AIRGUNS SUPER LOW PRICE

[PALTIK]

Saw this site. Very low prices..as in super low prices! The only catch is (if you consider it a catch), is you have to buy a minimum of $100.
But with such low prices, you can buy a lot of airguns and items with the hundred bucks minimum!
I don't actually know if any of this is true or if any of the members of GTA has seen this site or ordered from this site.
Pretty tempting if you guys ask me!

Things certainly appear cheap there.  It seems you have to be a dealer, and become a member there also. The only thing bothering me is that conservative thought buzzing around in the back of my head ... "When prices LOOK too good to be true, they probably ARE too good TO BE TRUE."  But it would be great to hear feedback from someone who has actually bought from this place.

[PALTIK]

Yep! My thoughts exactly..that I also want to hear from sombody who actually bought from this place.
Signing-up to be a dealer is actually no problem if you are only required to buy P100 minimum 'coz after you ahd your fill, you can stop ordering.
The only problem is if they get you into a contract like you have to order every so-so number of months?
I guess I have to go wait see until the time I really am itchin to buy a lot of these fine airguns.
I thinks they sell all brands and not only the chinese ones.

Has anyone ever dealt with that dealer before???? Sounds to good to be true.....

I guess I just can't help but be skeptical (I am from NY)

I've never heard of them before, but a QB-362 for $55, is tempting. They also list the Gamo 220 in .22.

I've explored that site a bit also, and have found that you can only put items in a cart from the page that has about a dozen or so items priced. The Gamo 220 and the Gamo Hunter 1250, etc. prices are on pages that you have to log on. To log on, you have to register. To register, you have to give a retail license #.

It is tempting to give this Self Defense Supply outfit a try. A QB36-2 for $55, a couple B3's one in .177 & .22 for $19 each and a QS35 pistol for $20 totals $115 + S&H. of about $16. I was able to put the aforementioned priced items in a cart & proceed to checkout where all required blocks were filled in except card #.

On the other hand, I have seen some posts (don't recall the forum or details) of negative feedback regarding SDS.

I would like to have more info about them.

I think I'm going to have some fun with this site. Seeing as I only have one rifle right now and want many more (even ones that aren't so great) this place seems like Heaven to me. I might order a blowgun just to mess around with it. For only $2.50 I have nothing to lose.

[PALTIK]

Good thinking! But I guess, as they said, you have to have a minimum order of $100.
It is really quite tempting!
Actually, what they are doing is nothing new. They are actually trying to sell in-bulk ($100)..so, they get the profits from the small change they make from the bulk items that they sell, translating to a large profit in fact.
This is what walmart does, sell things for a small price but in large bulks. You get more customers this way and they keep coming back because of the low prices..although, you have to spend $100 every time you have to deal with them.
Good luck to all those who want to test this site and please..please.. do give us your feedback.

Well....

Let's go back a few years in technology. These folks are located in Richardson, TX and have a phone number (972-644-6800). Has anyone considered calling them and asking questions???

Pelletman:

You are right!  South Summit & SDS have the same 1819 Firman Dr. street address and same #101 suite in Richardson, Texas.
I've bought several times from South Summit but did not notice the address was the same. You have a good eye for detail.
Thank You, I'm not so leery of them now.

Mike

[PALTIK]

So,that is why south summit also offers low prices!
Yep! Very good to deal with south summit.
Made tweo orders from them and they ship very fast!

The prices are a little bit lower on Rexdist.com (I've ordered knives and wallets and such before from them, and shipping was quick, no catch besides a $100 minimum). I think they both carry the same stuff. It's been years since I purchased from rexdist.com and I'm REALLY not trying to threadcrap here, but I figured you guys might like to know that there is another site out there that offers the same air rifles (I think). I posted in China Gate asking for more info on those particular air rifles by the way. :-)

Oh, and the pellets are about 1/2-1/3 the cost on rexdist.com and are also sold by the box of 10 200 pellet tins.
