Default Looking for cheaper way to Buy from Russia

I need help getting a hold of one of these airsoft masks from Russia. I found 1 retailer and they where in Canada and wanted $170. Is there another option I could do to purchase one of those masks without the huge mark up on shipping? I read the site and they said they only do bulk shipments and because of the gap in translation it was hard to fully understand what the sale rep was trying to say.

The website is http://www.brass-guard.com/ and I am looking at either the Praetorian, The Bat or even both. Just figured I would post up my situation and see if anyone else had any helpful information.

Could someone give me a price on a bulk order of 5 Praetorian masks and 5 Bat masks shipped here so I can get an idea if it would be easier to buy a few and sell the rest.

Also would it be easier to have someone closer to Russian purchase it and ship it to me?

Here is a few pictures of the masks. They are sick as hell.

Sounds like a good test for a potential mail-order bride. Promise to marry the first who ships your your mask....then hide.

I agree. Buy a bride and have her bring one with her, probably save you $100 or so.

Btw, is this you?

It says the only way to buy just one mask is through a dealer. Seems like they only have 2 dealers in Moscow and in Israel:

Russia
Action Pantball Games

Delevery: Yes, Delevery to other cities: Yes
Online-store Airsoft-Gun.ru
Contacts:
Email: admin@airsoft-gun.ru
Phone: +7 (915) 3801772
Salesman: Alexey


Israel
Delevery: Yes, Delevery to other cities: Yes

MIL Supply Ltd. ®

Paintball Israel Group®

ilya@paintball.co.il

(972)544426168

www.tacticball.co.il

Why don't you shoot (no pun intended) them an email and see if they would deliver to USA. I'm pretty sure these guys speak English (most of the people in Moscow and Israel do).
