Caleb is the deal master. You guys shouldn't be jealous of him, or want what he's got, just be happy for him. *sticks gun to Caleb's head and demands a DM4 for 500*:D We're all friends here, right?:)
Anyways, I think the best deal I've gotten in a while is a 47ci 3000psi nitro tank for $63 off Caleb.
Don't pester him for deals guys.
Oh yeah, getting a case of Diablo Midnight for like $38 or something from him too.

I'm about to buy E-Mag Lowers with a Fireblade Trigger, 3.2 Software, all the necessary parts (Charger, etc.), Carbon Fiber Battery House and grips for 400. Not a great deal but it's pretty good for Lowers. I think that first deal is the best though. Brand new that would easily be 500+.

When the STO 2k2 wasn't even on the market yet. A guy sponsored by WGP sold me it with a centerflag hyperflow 201 88/45 tank with a richochet 2klcd hopper with a 12 inch dye boomstick and a black JT jersey for 600. When I got the STO it was insanely tuned. The trigger was super light and it shot one paintball on top of another. When I started upgrading it, the accuracy went down somewhat.

I got some stuff in the mail from McMaster today. I thought I'd do a little price comparison.
Timmy Ram bumpers - $5.95 for a pack of 100 at McMaster.
Price for ONE at PBK (http://www.paintballkingdom.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=800) - $2.00
'Cocker hose - $7.75 for 25 feet, also at McMaster.
Price for ONE foot at PBK (http://www.paintballkingdom.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=69) - $2.00
edit: actually, it was two-line hose, so I got 50 feet, instead of 25. ;)

they didnt tho cause they were trying to bring them down even further...:eyes:
this was when ppl first heard about dye coming out wiht matrixes...lol
the friend told me about it months before they went public, and naturally, no one believes me...lol
they had a partial sponsorship by dye...lasted until the beginning of this year.
