This thread was reported "on Today at 4:13pm for the following reason: Shit grammar, Poor knowledge of what a bias is."
Don't report threads for that. It just bugs us mods. Fight your own battles (within the rules, of course.).
And two misspelled words does not mane itz bed gremmer!

I've frequented the store quite a few times personally and believe I can speak without a bias. While I've stopped in, and purchased several items, I would not say this store is by any means "Great".
As far as bias, stopping in does not equal bias. I frequent Walmart all the time, still hate the place, and wish I didn't need to go there. But that is neither here nor there.
Commandos has a pretty decent selection, which seems to rotate in and out each time I'm there. Will say there is quite a large number of more sub-par weapons, but a few nicer ones as well. They do sell quite a lot of accessories, which I have not bought many of, as I did not need them.
I have made some purchases, got my girlfriends JG G36C there, which we vastly overpaid for @ $180, when it runs $130-$140 online, but this was merely a convenience purchase as she wanted it for the game that night.
I also purchased a Tri-shot Shotgun, for the exact same price in store as online, so that was a fair deal. Now the extra shells, at $5 a piece was largely overpriced, but again, needed them for a game that night, so the extra cost was justified.
I feel the store is ok, and certainly a step above Dunhams and Meijer for what is carried, but its not the greatest place I've ever shopped. I stop there mainly for convenience, but often the prices put me off, and send me browsing online.
I cannot say anything about the service, or internals offered as I have used neither, nor do I know enough to make a fair judgement.

Thank you for backing up my non-bias position. I was just trying to be helpful and provide an accurate description of the shop, pertaining to my own personal experiences.

Second a lot of the items he has in his store come from Evike. That being said, in order for him to turn a profit, he has to charge more than what they charge at Evike, plain and simple math. Third, there is a price to be paid for convenience. If you need a part or gun quickly, you obviously don't have time to wait for shipping, so you pay the extra money to buy it locally. I don't have an issue with the guy, I believe he is genuinely trying to help his customers. I've been in two of his shops a few times and have not witnessed him, or his help, do anything deceitful. I generally buy online, but if I need it quick, he fills that void. Two areas that I think he can improve on are these. First, they need to stop quoting FPS with .12g BBs. No one cares about any other figure than what it will do with .20g BBs. Second, he needs to form relationships with the manufacturers and buy direct. I can't say for sure everything in his shop comes from Evike, but a lot of it does. Once he cuts out that middleman, he can closer match online prices and he will draw more serious customers in from MiA. He seems to know his way around an airsoft gun, so technically he is competent. Also, every time I've been in one of his stores, there has always been multiple people in there, no matter what time.

I have done a few deals with commandos. I haven't had any problems with them, but the prices are raised a lot.

This happened to me at their Canton store.
They had a Scorpion AEG hanging on the wall for sale. Asked one of the guys who works there if I can see the gun, he said yes. After drooling over it, I said I will buy it.
He said he can't.
"Why?" I asked.
"It's the last one in stock" he said.
"Point is? I am offering to buy it off of you guys" *pulls out $100 bill*
"How about you buy this?" *pulls out a spring pistol*
*sets down the Scorpion nice and calm* "Wow, this is bull shit"
Left the store.
BUT the people them selves are nice.

Canton store? Do they now have a 3rd store in addition to their Garden City and Roseville location?
