Now that FX has dumped the proprietary dealer; I wonder how long before we can start picking up @least the accessory lines on Amazon ??
Anmazon question
- Thread starter Keyman62421
- Start date
That could certainly be a double edged sword:
- Speedy Prime deliveries would be an absolute win (I'm not known for patience, which kills me in this sport!)
- Counterfeit market would probably flood Amazon overnight

I have always found amazon to stock items that fail QC control. I can say this confidently with first hand experience in any of the skilled trade materials and resources. pretty much true in any of these big box/direct sales venues. Unfortunately i also experienced this recently with a Diana product...The made in china sticker on item, that was label product of germany on the box.

It does seem you can get anything on amazon.
Now when it comes to actual air rifle I've never seen anything but the BIG players and all legit.
The same Chinese Diana sold on amazon is the same as all chinese diana rigs no matter who you buy from, just a slightly higher price on there tha using an airgun dealer direct.

I doubt you'll see FX on Amazon for a long time. High end air guns can be a finicky thing that needs Dealer support. Amazon is pretty rough on the sellers as well, so I just don't see the profit margins you'd need for FX type guns on Amazon.
Maybe in a few years after FX is not the top dog and dealers aren't fighting to carry FX products. But for now, FX will protect the dealer network.

when it comes to purchasing an air rifle...i will ALWAYS purchase NEW and from an authorized dealer. accessories...that's another matter.
my dealings with amazon are of mixed results but mostly OK...

Im going to agree with you on the counterfeit market issue. I have seen a good amount of it from both amazon and ebay. I am very careful with what I buy now from the two places. There is also a good amount of false goods. as well. Like the time I bought a new controller for a racing drone and got a box of rocks. Knives are another really good example of heavy counterfeiting. Some things I simply will not buy from them.
