Honestly, how do I make so much money without any effort? I don't get it.

FOR SURE
$25.00 – Jersey
$25.00 – Jersey
$45.00 – Mask
$45.00 – Gloves + Jersey
$130.00 – Gloves + Pack + Pants
$90.00 – Mask + Pants
$100.00 – Money from Fasha
$70.00 – Jersey + Pants
$40.00 – Pads
$80.00 – Pocket Change
$90.00 – JT Pants
$25.00 – HK Headband

POSSIBLE
$100.00 – React Gear
$130.00 – Proto 05 Gear
$200.00 – Kopcok Jersey

$1195.00 Total

INCOMING
$950.00 – Shalias
$200.00 – Cash Moneys
$750.00 – Freeflow Shocker
$75.00 – Halo

$1975.00 Total

ALLTOGETHER - $3170.00

Long List...

Basically, I have the first set of stuff already sold or pending, the next set is what I'm asking for gear and people have offered. The last set is the gear I'm trading my 05 Dragon for and my predicted sales I'll get from them

In the next week or so I'm predicting to have around $3200 dollars... Most of which I made from my 05 dragon and 05 Proto gear... I mean... I'm getting roughly $2175.00 out of the $1600 I spent on the 05 Dragon... I won 2 tournaments and the series gaining me like 800$ worth of proto gear (Already spent like $400 worth).

Now I have to decide what to do with this mass amount of money I'll soon have... :ninja:

No, but I'm still trying to work it through my head. I won't need a job this summer if this keeps up. My friend is selling a Russian Legion for 750 which I could easily turn around and sell for $900... I don't get it haha -_-

$80.00 – Pocket Change
:ninja:



You wear them big baggy pants with big pockets don't you!



I guess the true question would be how much $$ and time/effort was expended to get all this stuff that you are selling. Even if you won it in tournaments, you still had to expend time/effort plus what ever funds you spent to practice for the tourneys...

damn, i hate you so much blaze :p how do you do this??

im never ever going to deal with you, because i know no matter what im getting the short end of the deal.


heh, but $80 pocketchange? a little bit ago i had over $400 pocket change... about 80 or so in my wallet and i randomly found $320 or so in the dozens of pockets in my pants... i felt a wad of paper or something in one pocket, andi it ended up being a roll of $20s. i checked my other pockets and found 2 more stashes :D.

subtract all that shipping cost :cheers:

We have a fedex account... credit card handles that shipping ;) :D

It is pretty sad, Actually for the most part my prices are Low, I was selling Evil Pimps for 450, all my proto gear at about 75% of retail... Rarely is someone not getting a decent deal, I just get better ones ;)

I spend too much time on paintball...

BTW Pocket change was basically birthday money going towards paint that I have left over, I also sold some stuff so that's what I labeled it.

That's great for you. It's amazing what a reputation and good businessman skills can lead you to. And yes, you do have both of those, weather you realize it or not.

Getting deals like that are fun. I bought an 88/4500 w/cover for $80. I could easily turn around and sell it for $150.

I'm just amazed at how much I'll be making soon... I'll be able to play 3-4 times a week with no problems with money...

As long as he has fans, people will pay that much. Why do people pay so much for a game worn basketball jersey?

Looks like I'll be getting more...

Found someone to trade the Shalias for an XSV Ego...

Shalias = about 1000 ?
XSV Ego = about 1400 ...

:D

If you haven't already gone to college put some of that money away NOW!!!!
And life has little ways of slowly destroying whatever surplus you might have, like speeding tickets, girlfriends, and college tuition.

I'm 16...

My family is well off for quite a long time. My dad hasn't worked in a real job in over 5 years, and we still live comfortably, purchasing 2 cars during that time as well as many other things.

I don't have to worry ;)

just pay strippers to have sex with you for the next few months .... wait whats 3200$ divided by 50$?

Blazestorm
06-30-2005, 09:18 PM
Uh... no ;)

BTW I might trade the Shocktech Alias for an Ego + 100, and I have a local buyer who will buy the ego for $1000...

$1100 for the Shalias, $850 for the Shocker, + $200 cash and a Halo...

Not bad for an 05 Dragon ;) about $2200

He's not a scammer, just a smart busisnessman who seems to always find a buyer.

You won all that in a tournament, and then sold it all just like that? WoWzers

the real question is
1. When are you flying all of us over to have a giant paintball match in your house? The heck with A house...from the sounds of it, you could buy 3 or 4 houses to have a huge scenario...just link them all together. LOL. JP but really, if i didnt have such a hard time finding good deals, i'd do it too. I buy stuff for supacheap...selling it is always the trick

2. Where do you live....I mean like, exact directions to you, your room and where you keep all your valuables...Who's with me? I'll split the goodies with whoever joins me in a raid. Heck, we could kidnap Blazestorm and get even more...JP again...seriously though, if you can keep that up, start taking small parts (around a 1000) and invest in like mutual funds or stocks. Really, if you set it up right, you can start earning 100s a month by doing absolutely nothing. Side note on the investing, if you invest in stocks, it takes a lot of work. Investigation in companies, knowing when to set sail with the right company and when to go SOS and cut out...You'll find a lot of companies that might look like good deals until they totally go bankrupt

Another side note and disclaimer: I donot plan or intend to steal anything from Blazestorm, harm him or his family in any way. I hope his luck holds out for good deals and I give him my best wishes

well maybe he could invest in paintball companies, i mean from my guess he'd know a bit about them...
