potential in airsoft guns?

Would people be interested in this kind of item (airsoft) if it was offered here? Countries like Australia or China heavily restrict this stuff or outright ban it completely, so I was hoping people interested in this sport might want their fix here.

And i'm not talking about your average cheap-o springer or plastic made in china toy, this is the realistic, 1:1, and full metal stuff here. (with brands like Tokyo Marui, Western Arms, and KSC)

I realize this should be belong in the airsoft section, but that area is mainly restricted to Canada/US users on the website.

I don't think you'd get a lot of business from China/Australia, and for everyone else you'd have to have really low prices.

But it never hurts to try, start out on a market with a small vendor fee and see how it goes.

If you find a way to ship a gun into australia...lemme know.

If your prices were competitive and you got the word out, possibly with a clearnet site to provide information to potential customers, there would be a market in Australia.

I suggest clearnet because your business would probably be perfectly legal where you are, so the risk to you is approximately zero and you could use your clearnet site to sell directly to people who are allowed to own airsoft.

If you stay on the darknet and just try to draw your market from existing darknet market users then you'll have limited success.

I'd love to have some air soft guns here in aus. filmmaking with painted home made ones just don't give the same realistic look as the air soft ones do.

Even better would be an idea I came up with. Shipping real firearm in airsoft boxes. It's hiding in plain site! Who would bother to check out whether the piece was real or not? "Oh it's just an airsoft gun"

No, Australia and China arguably have the best customs (in terms of discovering contraband). Airsoft guns are easily accessible and the majority are relatively cheap.

I'd love the idea of airsoft sold for bitcoins. ANYTHING is a good thing. Honestly, to get public support towards these danknetmarkets we need more than just dank drugs and real guns.

You could start a whole toy/sporting goods biz selling for BTC. The subreddit is called darknetmarkets, but all we sell is dank, airsoft should be dark too!
