where can you buy bb in bulk

I do see the boxes of BB's that they arrive into the shops in. Maybe ask the shop managers can you do a deal with them.

There is no reason you couldn't negotiate a bulk price with any retailer, starting with 1 box as a minimum order with better discount the more you buy. Some retailers offer the 25kg sacks of BBs, personally I prefer the box of individual bottles/bags approach as it ensures each bottle/bag of BBs is in the same condition when you open it as it was when it left the factory, there's no telling what happens to BBs in a large sack once it's been opened.

I buy all my bbs in bulk.get a few lads to chip in to lower the cost.Most retailers are willing to do a bulk price for you.We get 20 bags of .25g 4000 bbs for around 200 euro depending on the retailer.

some retailers do team deals best i saw was box of 20 bags 4000 bbs .2 for 120e.
that works out at 6e a bag. if you shop around you may get them cheaper

Know anywhere in the cork/limerick that does this? I know that Midwest does it but don't know who else might and would like to know if there's other options if I'll buy some with my friends.

I have used ICS without any problems. I have found that some mags(TM) dont like them. Had an issue with MP7 and solved it with MAG brand mags.
May not be relevant but is only issue I have had with ICS

Im drunk at the moment so hopefully I've made no mistakes when doing my maths!!

If we look at the GFC prices the advantage of buying in bulk in not too great being honest.

As per link rounding up by 5cent its 270Euro for 125,000 BB's in bulk. For gunfire branded 0.20 BB's.
http://www.seairsoft.net/product_details.php?id=989&sub=62&subcat=Gunfire%20/%20GFC%20BBs

If rounding up by 5cents also its 9Euro for 4000bb's by gunfire 0.20g BB's.
http://www.seairsoft.net/product_details.php?id=637&sub=7&subcat=BB%27s

So...125000 BBs divided into 4000 BB bags is 31.25 Bags.

31.25 bags at 9 Euro per 4000 = 281.25 Euros (for 125000 BBs)

thats 11.25 in the difference or 11.20 if you take back the 5cent I used when rounding up.

Do I really want to spend 270 Euros (Price of an AEG!) on loads of BB's when I'm gonna be stuck with the same brand and more importantly weight til I run out when I only save 11 and a bit Euros??? I think not. Id rather have a variety of
smaller bags with different weights and brands depending on what the Airsoft gun liked and weather conditions.
