Field partners

$10k a month is a take-rate problem, not a social network.

Booking software for fields is already crowded. Players still sell $200–$500 replicas in Facebook groups and get burned. Airsoft Board sits in that hole. We do not take a handshake fee after cash — that always gets skipped. Money is held on a card first. Fields still get walk-ons. Featured listings still pay even when a sale leaks.

Engine 1

Hold, not honor system

5.5% on a field hold, 9% on ship escrow. Cash in the parking lot does not capture. Repeat sellers still want the verified trade count. Cheap pouches will leak — featured and field partners cover that. $10,000 still wants roughly $180,000 in captured holds, not in handshakes.

Engine 2

$99 fields

100 partner fields is $9,900 a year before a single replica sells. They get trader walk-ons. RecTech/Vantora charge for waivers; we charge for cars. Claim flow is on every field page.

Engine 3

Promos

Featured listing $19 / 7 days. Seller Pro $12/mo for alerts and a verified badge. These are the first dollars — they don't require payments infrastructure as mature as GMV.

A realistic first year

This is not a launch-week number. It is what the take-rate implies if we own the used-replica habit in a handful of dense metros. A pretty homepage without liquidity will not get there.

What we will not build first

  • / Another airsoft Instagram. Attention is cheap. Trust is not.
  • / A full POS + waiver suite. RecTech, Vantora, and PBHQ already sell that to paintball and airsoft fields.
  • / Nationwide shipping escrow on day one. Replica-shaped packages are a support nightmare. Field meetup is the wedge.
