Market saturation.

Not for Mag parts. I'm trying to build a Mag with the extra parts I have, need a rail, a plain one w/o the twist lock went for $30 and a rail with the sear, twist lock, and bushing - $50 on Ebay.

With everyone buying the new hot gun of the month everyone sells off their old stuff. Because there are so many used guns out there the price drops.

Well, that, and prices just dropped again. Promasters are $370. The FS-7 is $650, along with vision shockers. Defiant 2s are 550. 2k5 timmies are $645. Alias/Abomb/Empire/Dark/ND are $895. Protos are $699.

New guns come out at lower price points, all other guns must lower prices accordingly. Then people buy these guns at those prices. Then after a few months when they're ready to switch, they sell the guns they bought cheap for even cheaper and the cycle continues.

Don't expect resale to ever come up again, but the used market will forever be the place to find amazing deals.

The market has lowered a bit. Its entertaining to still find people vainly trying to sell their markers for top dollar.

holy... i knew about the cocker resale and have been looking at cheap e-cockers, but dm3's for 250? 2k2 timmies for 350? im gonna really have to try hard to not spring on a deal, ive always wanted a timmy...

i thought my 2k4/5 freestyle for $460 shipped was a good deal, but...

The dm3's for 250 was someone trying to get rid of them quick. As for 350 2k2 timmy, there are still nice ones going for 500ish. You just can't look at a couple of threads and make assumptions. But yes, the market is dropping, but your examples aren't that great. I blame it on ions, and BL flooding the market. But also, kids are always wanting the newest...

If prices are dropping I wish the people up here in canada would hear about it. my local proshop wants the equivilent of 250 USD for a minimag, 700 for a 2k2 dragon timmy and 900 for a lasoya all used!!! I know it costs a lot to get guns up here but this is ridiculus

When companies start puting out markers with ramping boards and every thing elese that budding players think that they need to stay competive for under $300, prices will drop to make sales of markers that have failed the advertising test.
