    Should I....?

    Ok, what would you do in my situation? I'm a freshman in college and you're not allowed to have paintball markers on campus (or any airguns). My parents just sold my trusty old Volvo and are getting my sister a Civic, so I have no means of transportation anymore. I have put almost all of my life savings into my mag. I could sit here and list all of the parts on it but I don't think you care or want to read it. Anyway, it's been sitting in my room collecting dust. I'm thinking of either selling it now(because I can't play anymore) and using the money to buy an acoustic guitar, or hold on to it for four years and then get back into paintball. If I was to sell it then I would probably buy a new marker in five years. So....what would you do?
    "Men think they think upon great politcal questions, and they do; but they think with their party, not independently; they read its literature, but not that of the other side; they arrive at convictions, but they are drawn from a partial view of the matter in hand and are of no particular value. They swarm with their party, they feel with their party, they are happy in their party's approval; and where the party leads they will follow, whether for right and honor, or through blood and dirt and a mush of mutilated morals."

    When I buy things like guns, I don't sell them even if money is tight. Because I know that down the road I'll regret it if I sold one of them. This is just me, but if your Mag is something you really don't want to part with, then keep it. I'm sure you'll go home in the summer and be able to play, but if not, I'd keep it just because it's special to you and you'll never be able to get back what you put into it. Just do what you feel is right.

      BlackVCG; Quite a profound and prophetical answer... though I would have to completely agree with you *hugs his 'mag fondly*
