Help me get YOU cheaper stuff - BeardyMan - 6 December 2012
Got a prospective purchase in the pipe lines, but can't find what you want at the price you want it?
Send me a PM with what you're looking for, and the best price you've seen it at (with a link please), and I'll do my best to get it at a better price. Might take me a few days to get the item in though, so if it's an urgent purchase I might not be able to help.
The only way I can achieve this is by haggling with the suppliers and buying stuff in bulk. So prep related stuff would be good

Cool, thanks for that BM.
I'm looking for a new Mercedes. Some bag-head offered me one for £50 once. He said it wasn't stollen and the window was just wound down. I was inclined to believe him haha.

The smackhead said he had lost the key and replaced it with a screwdriver that you just twist like a key. When I asked about the immobiliser, he pointed out he had bypassed it with a bit of wire, after he had lost his keys haha.
Great imagination he had.

For a smidge over £100 you can get professional lock picks for mercedes & jag (I think) that will open the lock and start the car. Then you can get a special little thing that will bypass the immobiliser, without having to damage the car. I knew a recover driver who had all the gear - used to earn a tidy wage on the side rescuing drivers of chelsea tractors who'd lost their keys whilst out shopping in Harrods. For some reason a lot of people leave the spare key IN THE CAR!!!

and this started off with the potential for a really good thread.
Most of us are looking for cheap arrows, bolts, air rifle pellets, snares, Uzis, jars, oxygen obsorbers and a lot of the less glamorous gear that are popular. Should be higher volume than some items you are looking at.
RE: Help me get YOU cheaper stuff - Mandlaka - 6 December 2012
As for me, I want some broadheads and some arrows for smaller game and bolts for a couple of tough pistol crossbows.
I mean this seriously so please do let me know, Sir BM, if you can get them cheaper please.

Speaking of uzi's, I've been offered a co2 .177 steel bb semi auto version for £125.
What I want to know is, is it worth it for any usefulness or just to play around with?

They're about £150 / £175 new, so I suppose it depends on how old it is?
If I was gonna spend that kind of money I'd get something that could be used to put food on the table, rather than just a toy (no matter how cool they look!)
DAMNIT! That's 12 x 6.5 inch for £3.25.

That's what I was hoping for. Something as a useful tool. The guy reckons its only been dry fired, never had a bb through it.
