Forget these paintballs. This was a short term scam from the beginning. It appears the dealer (Anthony Marigotta) bought a supply of seconds from a new paintball line as the manufacturer was tooling up for production. These new balls will probably hit retail sometime in the near future, through regular retail channels. I don't know what the name will be. Paintballgeek was a short term, money making opportunity that misled us with deceptive adverts/claims.

Note: I cannot personally verify the above info, I have heard it second hand. However, the source does seem to be reliable.

far from the truth jak....and early happy birthday july 13th starkle!!
I was mad but not anymore...I sold formula and new company will market at $60-$70...I will only get royalties...
this paint was never seconds...never...a attack by the same person who said craig miller of diablo was bad ...who just 2 months ago put glenn palmer down ...now it is my turn to get kicked around...
andrew hamblett was mad because I would not sell him paint so he also posted lies!!

take care,
tony sr.

Damn! i really liked the value of those paintballs! now im going to go back to buying paintballs that cost more and didnt even compete with yours. Well hope you come up with a new formula and sell it for cheap again :P

i dont understand. and im not trying to say the paint was seconds because many many people love it, but how does the price go from 40$ to 60-70$ if it isnt changing in quality? seems to me that you should still be able to sell at 40$ or 50$ at the highest.

jdogg....

the paint never would of changed pricing if the few guys like andrew hamblett and big t and ronin in rec sport had not spread false rumors and defamed my charector,along with libel and many other things.

I made this paint for the paintballer- not for retail stores or field owners....but I got bashed for doing that...then is when the rumors started and I'm 62 and do not need the grief....so I have sold formula and it will resell for $60-$70 under brand name...I may have had a few bad cases but all that had to be done was call me and I would have replaced....but no I was slandered up and down instead...a few people have already attested to the fact i would have sent new paint free...unlike most online stores.

now this is the first time i will post this....MY cost to make such paint was $33.88 per case and left very little for profit...the fill was tourny fill and the shell was impregnated with titanium,among other things i can not reveal.

thx to all my loyal customers who bought on regular basis,and i hope your game always remains safe and fun.

amargio1 thanks for the info. its too bad people had to ruin your cheap prices. i wish i had bought a few cases before this happened. the paintball community needs more people like you!! paints way too expensive. thanks for the effort.
