Could WE?

[Paint Bulley]

If everyone on this site gave money to one person who is trustworthy(prob. andrew), could we buy a ton of paint at a lower cost? think about it, over 200 members. we could all decide what paint we want. Probobly wouldn't be more than 8 different types. around 55 dollars each.

$55*200 = $11,000

what company is going to say no to around $11,000 dollars worth of buisness. I don't think they would mind that much. It might take them a little while to get there hands on the paint though. Then whoever ordered them all could either set it up so we get our balls from the company, or that person could forward them.

Anybody understand what I'm saying and if you do agree?

Thanks,

that would be a good idea. i think we should get direct hit-everyone likes those and they are already so cheap, it prob be like 30 bucks a case

[Paint Bulley]

Yeah I could go with Direct -HIt.

Ask Amarigo.

[dawgs712]

mabey if this site has a headqurters somewhere-prob not though. andrew is prob teh best bet, though i doubt he would want to get 200 cases (3000 pounds, 800 bags, if direct hit 800 bags of a poop smelling substance, ect) delivered to his house

[MuckRaker]

That'd be cool, but how are you gonna get the paint distributed to everyone. Remember, if it ships to one person, that one person has to turn around and ship it to everyone else, that's two delivery charges. Most companies will not ship to multiple addresses, only to the person who places the order. Also, Even big stores like paintballgear.com or bbtpaintball.com won't have 200 cases of a particular paint on hand. I just ordered 12 cases of paint from paintballgear, it wiped out most of their inventory of that particular paint (I'm talking fill color, not brand).

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but that's some of the things you gotta consider when making a large order.

[Paint Bulley]

Don't worry muck I like the rain and hate parades.

Did you get much of a discount on all the paint you bought Muck?

Yeah the company would probobly not like to ship to multiple adresses, and it will be hard to get all the paint. BUt they just might for so much money. Somebody said direct hit. without a decrease. if we got 200 or 300 cases that would be either.

$8000 or $12,000.

What companies do for money is sometimes unbelievable.

And since we know the maker of direct hit (amarigo1) well?

[TLplus84]

But then you gotta worry abut quality..if you try to make something real fast, and something nice and slow, which is gonna turn out better? and think about it...how many paintballs is 300 cases??? 2000x300=60000. Sixty Thousand paintballs.:eek:
It's a good idea, but i think for it to work, we should think about the factors more..it's a really good idea..

[Paint Bulley]

THey have a machine that makes paintballs right? Wonder how many paintballs one machine could make a hour? How about the entire factory (how many balls an hour for the whole factory?). We write up Rps and say we'll pay you $10,000 for you'r entire factory for one hour.

How bout that? Then we could go right through them. Don't have to worry about freshness. The machines always run the smae don't they? Or do they sometimes produce more paintballs. If they always ran the same we wouldn't have to worry about shoddy work. I'll write RPS and see if it would even be possible.

Thanks for your guys input. keep it coming. Mabye we should tell andrew before he recieves 60,000 paintballs.

[Richy_C]

why not just buy a machine and PBreview paint?

[Paint Bulley]

That is the best idea yet. We pool our money, make paint for ourselves and sell the extra to pay off the machine and then make a profit.

Anybody know how much one runs for?

Where would you buy one?

[amargio1]

ok guys all you have to do is go with my dealer discount program and you can sell some and use some or?...
our paintballs are always fresh. we keep 2-300 cases on shelf at all times and it goes out of our warehouse fast.
the paint is never over 3-5 days old,plus we already have the best price for that quality ball...

but...here is program !

Hi , this is a simple program...here is how it works..we discount to you at the following rates....

10-24 cases $38 per case

25-49 cases $37 per case

50 + cases $36 per case

SHIPPING CHARGES ARE BASED ON CITY STATE AND ZIP CODE.

PLEASE REPLY WITH THIS INFORMATION AND HOW MANY CASES.


your advantage over competition in your area will be,. no overhead... no large inventory...not to mention the quality of the paint that we have formulated to be accurate...and not break in barrel or marker.

also a huge advantage will be your ability to give 1 day service to your area and fellow players you know or meet.I'm sure you have some idea's of your own.

Direct Hit Paintballs are always FRESH! never over 2-3 days old... we mean from our factory,not the warehouse that the (others) keep for 2 months on their shelves before the local store gets it and then claims fresh daily....

We have done the marketing and have come to find that the price we sell this paint for is the best! based on these factors...

#1 shoots straight,hit's target....

#2 ball breaks in markers are almost unheard of...this means ANY SIZE barrel or any marker...sound bold,well it's not, that is what we formulated DH to do!

#3 this paint was totally designed for today's player who's main concern is to hit his target and have the ball break on that target and not bounce(like others)
Direct hit does exactly what we the paintballer have been waiting for.

best regards,
Tony SR.

I'm on my 3rd batch now waiting for the 4th to be delivered.

This is good stuff. The rest of my team are huge Inferno fans... but I'll happily stick with Direct Hit and keep making my long range direct hits...

However making a large forum order doesnt really work that easily... Go ahead and try it... At TFL we have done it before with ordering cases of .223 and 7.62... while it works, it is more complicated than it appears on the surface.

[amargio1]

mad ogre ,thank you for your support.like your team we also have many teams where one member starts ordering and the rest of the team does not.
after aprox.one month the other members make the switch.

btw/ if the forum ordered 200 cases at $36.00 that would come to $7,200 for quality paint.....I would say that's a great deal!

all we would need is ship to address's and how many cases.normal freight charge would apply.unless it was to one location then the freight would be a lot less....but then who ships from there ?

[Mad Ogre]

You should sponsor a tournament... Thats what Diablo has done - now Diablo is #2 to RPS for making tourny paint.
Well - I'll shut up - you know your paint making business more than I do...

When are you guys going to make different colors? Not that its important... I like the pink fill... At dusk that shell is sometimes hard to track in the air, especially with a nice sunset glowing on the mountains.

[dawgs712]

even if we all gave money to one person and that person cashed all the checks, can someone even take out a 10,000 dollar order on their credit card? and tlplus84, thats 600,000 paintballs, not 60,000

[Paint Bulley]

YOu know...
I got a lot of Pennies. Mabye we could pay the company in pennies. then we wouldn't have to worry about credit cards.

$10,000 worth of pennies is a lot.

[toadman7b22]

email 250 memebers on the board or have a forum to sign up until we reach 250.
oder 250 cases at 36 a case which is 9000 then split that up between the people which would be 36 a person + shipping.

i like the idea about renting out the RPS factory for a hour. maybe like 9000$ for a hour. they probaly make tons of paint a hour

WoW you guys got great ideas on here, like elTwitcho said you got factors that need to be kept in mind here... like shipping, the Manufacture isnt gonna wanna ship to over 200 different places so, that leaves who ever (maybe andrew) has the money and gets them delivered to us... has to pay an extra $10.00 for shipping... and its about 10.00 because of weight... so if we bought them for $36.00 a case plus $10.00 ? thats already 46.00 a local store sells them for $45.00... ? no savings... ? its a great idea... but we would need to find them for cheaper ? Unless direct Hit can give them to us for maybe anywhere around $26 then we would be saving some cash... I dont mean to rain on the parade... but realistic is what we need to talk... if its $36.00 a case SHIPPED, then thats a different story...

[Congobongo]
