So what do you guys think; the winter when no ones playing much and people have cash, the spring when everyone excited about getting back into the sport again, the summer when things are in full swing or the fall when things are winding down and people want something to hold them over for the winter?

I said spring because, thats when paintballing starts back up again and people are looking for new markers for the season!
Just my two cents!

Mid to early spring - about when people are looking at getting going and they get income tax refunds.

Figure around Xmas has to be the best,either as a present or with money given.

i also think the holidays are the best time. i played last year the first saturday after christmas and i had never seen so many new guns on a field.

winter...cause in the spring and fall sales are on so you can't really compete with the big sellers....winter mostly cause its holiday time and people are looking for xmas stuff, also then you can get money and save up for a better gun on the off season...summer is just normal so it would be 2nd best time...3rd is a tie between spring/fall...

Winter/Spring. It's a toss up from people being fat with cash from the holidays, or being fat with cash from tax refunds.

I use to sell cameras, and I could always tell when the tax refunds were in the mail :)

winter is only really good if you are selling to kids because they have wads of cash from the holidays.
spring is the best overall...right when the snow starts melting(for me :P)(march)
