ok, I don't know how many of you pay attention to the rec.sport.paintball newsgroup, but it's now known that Tony(the owner) lied to all of us. He bought out a bunch of factory seconds from a start-up paint mfg. company. he sold 1200 cases of $25 paint for $40, and all I have to say is I TOLD YOU SO. Anybody who didn't notice the irregularities, the staining fill, the EXTREEMLY small bore size, and all the BS that tony would say to get a sale must not pay very much attention to PB or their paintballs. Who knows, you might have gotten a good case, thats the way seconds work. Just thought I'd let you all know. Tony won't disclose the real brand name the balls are going to be sold under, but the balls definitly arn't "his", this was another lie. Expect to pay much more for the real balls( $65) but they should be alot better also. Look out if tony tries to buy out all the seconds from another start up PB mfg( stargames are selling alot of seconds/over runs) don't be fooled again.

The *******! I knew it was too good to be true! Damn it!!!
Anywho, the stuff does work well, but that is just not good business to right off your "new paintballs" as "titanium impregnated ultra fill uber paintballs." Mine was good, but Tony you are a little wanna be Napoleon of the paintball world, you little backstabbing caucalorum!

creek, I know how you feel, I've been going back and fourth with this a****** for months, I know more than most people, and this guy(tony) is sick. You should see some of his responces to me, ypu'd think he's a 20 year old skinhead not a 60 something PR man. Most of the time when I tell people what I know I get flamed for it, it just dosen't make sence. But his business plan does, screw the customer, put out a crapload of hype in the market, and sell you're entire stock before the people turn against you. Look out, It worked so well for him he'll probably try to do it again with another startup PB mfg. company(stargames). Just be sure it's well known that he dosne't MAKE paint, it's never HIS recipe, he's just a little con artist, help me out and spread the word.

AndrewH,well the people I play around wont order his stuff,We talk to a place that will get you paint with your team name on the box etc if you buy a ton of it.
I ask them about the DH paint and found out what I thought.Tony flame me on here a few months back when I was getting Marbs for less than he was paying for it. He said he talk too the guy i was getting it from and I was lying on this Forum.
Well the joke is really on him cause the guy He said he talk too said he never really talk to tony.He does know about his store what ever.
I dont really get off flaming people so I sit back and look stuff up or make calls.But there will always be someone out there too make a buck the easy way.

ask yourself why did tony have to deal with people like this?
Creek at least you never bought or shot my paint and you never made false statements as does andrew b/c I believe you are sincere about your cost of paint and you are happy with what you shoot! plain and simple....but when people like andrew take pictures of altered balls and start posting same and then 2 days later want to buy more, i reserved my right not to sell....and if i can i will tell new company to do the same...
