Have you put into your gear, like your marker, mask, gloves,harness, etc. Don't include paint, admission, or air.

Also how long have you played?

I have spent about $1100 in a little less than a year.

over $10,000 rather roughly, if I put in paint cost, entry and travel etc it would be even more scary. But then I have been playing for 16 years :eek:

Too much! After 11 years and 20 some guns later, I am not sure I could tell you how much I have spent.

Me niether! I have had THOUSANDS of Dollars worth of equipment come and go. And just do not want to even sit down and think about it. It would spoil it all for me if I was to really face it. I prefer denial. :(

in 2+ years...
I've spent roughly $700 on my marker and roughly $75 on gear... but I've made some of that back by buying, fixing, and selling other markers.

I have about $1000 in gear right now...scary to think that when I go on the field I'm wearing and carying over a grand worth of stuff on me...

chunk_daddy
01-02-2004, 10:05 PM

I am almost a paintball HoBo....only my markers are really worth anything.
My gear is pretty sad though,lol,I still use the first Scott mask I ever got(with a custom98) just with a new lens every now and then.I wear surplus store camo's , or shorts on the field,bargain store boots.My pack is an ancient Jacko that most people would be ashamed to wear.My kneepads were left over from softball, and work really well.Gloves are from Wally World.The only decent thing I wear is a set of Dye elbow/arm pads.I like them for crawling the snake.....

Its kinda funny cause when I go to a new field I get picked last(the first game).:D

To answer the original question I have around 2G in all the markers I currently own.To remind myself of all the money I have spent on paintball markers and accessories .....well I won't go there.My wife reads the forum sometimes...lol.
