wow:eek: and ur complaining about a brand new CP kit for $100ish
:P

mine would probably be: avant, 20oz tank, x-ray mask, vl quantum, 4+1 pod pack for $280

but whatever, i needed that stuff anyways to start out

[Kingman27]

Dye Gauge-$23


yeah, not to bad, right? especially since it was FURKING BROKEN :laugh:

so a broken guage for 23, yup..got a new free one, but it still sucked..

[LAMANTEthePBguy]

Sorry guys, I think before I buy.

[Canadia_PBaller]

Well, I got ripped-off a Speed before, but I got my money back, so it's all good.

Other then that.......I did buy an Egg.....

[dropkickmurphys]

my old 47/3000 tank for 110.

[Six Feet Under]

Case of RPS Flash for $62, tax included. I don't know how much that certain paint goes for online but I can get Midnight cheaper than that from Caleb- $40 or so, or just on my own from www.paintballgear.com and I can get 3 cases of Midnight which in my opinion is better paint, without sales tax and with free shipping, for less than 2 cases of Flash with sales tax included. Sad, huh?

[Agent_47]

around xmas time, i bought a 32* whisper for $65. i dont know why i bought it, i guess i just wanted a new barrel desperatly

[FalloutMan]

$700 new rat impulse with a $350 new max flow tank and a $200 new freak kit.

[KillerOfGiants]

:dodgy:


Yeah, I haven't been really screwed over on any deals. I'm a bargain shopper. :tup:

[Sniper15]

I bought a Benchmark frame for my Old Compact for like $35 (which isn't a bad price). But when it arrived it was all screwed up and didn't fit right. So I returned it but I still had to pay for it to get shipped to me, I had to pay to ship it back, and I had to pay a 35% restocking fee (this all added up to almost $40). Ever since then I am careful about what I buy and where I buy from.

And once I payed $40 for a regular 20oz co2 from a paintball shop (I was new).

[can'tthink of1]

Ummmm I suppose my starting set up...

Spyder Flash LCD, Revvy, 6+1 pack, My SPectra, and a 20oz Co2, all for like 280... not that bad...

[wanabe TOSA]

my friend traded som shmo his broken an leaking impulse for a almost new freeflow cocker which he then sold for 600$ when he could only gotten about 300 for the pulse

[bdaniel08]

When I first got into paintball I didn't wan't an electronic gun (Imagine), because I thought they were full-auto only and I thought I would waist paint with it. So I wanted a mech. Back in 2001 I looked on ebay and found the gun I wanted, I wanted it the most because of the little guage on the female reg below the frame. It was a Shutter. I was bidding on ebay and I wasn't THAT smart back then. So I bid 'till the other bidder stopped and it ended at $230. All that the Shutter came was a VL200 hopper, too. Sounds like a great deal doesn't it? Well, I'm glad about the gun I have now.

[dog-of-Dislexia]

Back when I sucked and thought upgrading my Tippmann was a good idea I bought a response trigger kit. Not sure how much it was, probably worth a dollar or so though. Moral of the story, don't buy the ripoff Tippmann upgrades, put the money towards a better marker.

[Juvenile]

Spending all the money on upgrading my Spyder, no wait, nvm since in the end I parted the whole thing out for $400 in total and made more than what I paid for on some parts. Such a business man.

I also sold my sick Rat for $800.

And got my new Alias for $1100.

Bad deals don't happen to good business men in retail :laugh: :D

[sIc]

This isnt really a deal, but when i sold my spyder sonix stock to buy a stock spyder xtra. :eyes:

[toolbandfan]

I've been careful about buying paintball products, so I have not had any bad deals yet.


But besides paintball, I was thinking about selling packs of Magic the Gathering trading cards to Magic geek central, a local computer design college. I bought about 9-12 cases for $460 on Ebay. It was one of those "If it's too good to be true, don't buy it" deals. Each box was about $45-50 , which is wayyy cheaper then anyone else considering I have a hard time buying one for $70 now. It turned out to be a scam, and I lost $460 temporarily. I have to sent my stop payment money order to Utah to get my refund.

[SonyLover]

... bought Paintballs for $80 at field, cost $35 just down the street!

[Psycho_warden]

Bought a spyder E-99, traded it for a PMI piranha VTL that had a broken trigger frame. Thats ok, cause now his E-99 doesnt even work. Of course, niether does my new e-force.

Oh, and i bought some blue streak once. That was a bad deal.

[Downfall08]

An Armson Stealth barrel for $80

When i went to buy my gun i found a good deal on pbgateway. $40 for 2k3 cocker and egg2. The crappy thing is that they did something weird on shipping and had to pay $50 extra for some reason.

[AR55 MtM]

[nahthan]

He got scammed. The guy he was trading with said he had a e-bladed cocker and he didn't really. He just tried to steal AR55's imp.
