Has anyone any experience of purchasing from this site?
I'd be interested in the pro's and con's as there were a few items with international shipping available that interested me.
Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
I bought 2 Walther CP 2 CO2 match pistols a couple of years ago - No problem at all.
Have bought 3 guns fwb 300s / 300su / 601 with no issues, delivery normally is done via dhl and that should cost anywhere up to €30
I have found that for the guns I have been interested on they are cheaper and in better condition than what can be sourced here
I use the edge browser and enable the translator and that does a pretty good job of making everything understandable.
For my transactions I did a Western union bank transfer as you don't have to pay transaction charges as they make their money on the currency exchange (which I have normally found to be very reasonable)
Feel free to pm me if you have any other questions

Ive just registered on the site but when I try to log on it wont let me in.
The email that they send in reply has a six digit code attached. You have to use that on your first log-in. It then gives you the ability to log on. The only troubles I've found are:
* that the front page can be translated, but then you open other pages with no option to translate (unless it's my browser playing up).
* attempts to question vendors regarding shipment costs have been met with " your account has not yet been validated" (in German), so maybe I need to exercise some patience (which is a problem when there are a couple of interesting items on there).
So, a couple of days in and my account still isn't approved. Could any of you guys who have been able to purchase through Egun let me know how they got 'approved'?
At the moment they want a driving license and passport sent to them from me. Which seems dreadfully trusting of a site that doesn't state who it's going to share it's data with to check your ID and can't even muster an encrypted connection up for their website.
According to the last email received 'they' delete your data after it's checked. But they still want a passport and driving license sent over unencrypted email in clear format and held on their servers.
This sort of stuff is exactly why GDPR was brought in. I've asked a few detailed questions and i'll see what their response is.
Their response was to avoid answering who they share information with and to inform me they have deleted my account.
