is selling clone aeg's for 50% more than their competetors.

When did they start this overpricing erick? i myself have never been to Gamepod so I'm wondering when this started.

`member that clone m14 i had?

Yeah I remember that clone man it was okay I guess. I've got a tsd tactical m14 aeg hop broke after a few hundred rounds or so lol, however I'm too lazy to replace. I'd say from what I hear now from people about Gamepod everyone should just stick to aex and pinnacle. For those of you who don't know some of the guys that started pinnacle worked at Oakland AEX and quit to start pinnacle airsoft.

actually there were some other issues that caused them to leave AEX, thye met over beers and decided to start their own shop more or less out of coincidence

I think its funny this topic is popping up again.

look alot of companies are selling guns like thats. Its no uncommon. Most buisnesses can not compete with the online market. Online only stores with no store front or a small one, have very little over head. You see this alot with computers look at new egg, then look at your local retailers. Sometimes you are getting 50% off. Also some people dont want to wait 3 to 5 days more if its a weekend or pay shipping, and yes seomtimes its free shipping, and yes you can over night it. but its still not in your hands right then and there. And if something does go wrong, if the web site will help you and i stress if, you more then likly have to ship and wait then they ship and you wait. Local retailers you go in play with the guns, look at the guns pick the one you like right there and go home with the gun adn play somemore. Not look at a gun online get it in the mail, have ups drop ship it with out ringing the bell, get it stolen, file a claim, get another one shipped, wrong gun from the one you ordered, ship agian somehow screw up the address goes to neighbors house, argue with neighbor cuase hes an ahole, call the police, show police tracking and signature release, finially get item, YAY right gun this time. Charge battery, plug in, gun fires twice doesnt work, sigh, go get gun fixed. Now granted this is a worse case, however its exactly what happend to a friend of mine locally in turlock. Now yes you will have issues in stores also, however you have a name you have a face, you have a manger and a store owner, all of whom can help you.

lol and i completly agree with you :) but the shell stations do sell thier gas for more and privately own companies will alsways try to sell somethign for more then they should

My .02 cents. I had never been to gamepod till about one month ago to purchase my galil. First and foremost their customer service is 2nd to none. They were friendly from the get go and stayed on the ball in regards to me receiving my AEG when TSI armory was waiting for some RS parts to complete my gun. They have ALOT of custom parts, AEG's and launchers that you cannot get ANYWHERE else. The only thing that they are lacking on is AEG internal parts which MOST people do not purchase because they do not work on their own guns.

I don't think the amount you spend did at all, i went in with a big wad in my pocket, like so much cash it was stupid to carry so i was packing RS. Oddly enough so was the guy at the front counter! THey wre friendly talkative but after abotu 10 minutes and a bolt catch I realized the guy wasn't f'ing with an airsoft AR-15

thankfully, i never had a mullet

pinnacle will ever make mistakes like aex is now, they are run by too high quality of people. Been to gamepod once, i liked the store, nice guys but I simply dont go there because its too far of a drive. I like the atv in the window thats coo!!

I dont think ive ever walked into gamepod to buy something and never walked out with a dope @$s discount, i bought my JG M4 there and its solid, consistently shoots 396 (go ahead call me a gamepod fanboy, idk). Pinnacle's pretty dope too, but when i went in for the first time it looked a little small, but give it time it'll be nice, on another note dont Pinnacle only carry TM?
