Guns will be last because the MSRP will be to high for you to want to buy them anyway. Retro Valve parts going in this week.

I didn't see any Warp Feed bodies for the original RT's, just the RT Pros. :( Does this mean there aren't going to be any? I want a black one, with the warp located on the left side of the body.

You did read Tom's reply to you right? The MSRP is going to be so high compared to other stores prices that you are not going to buy it from the AGD store anyway. Look someplace else for a mag and save yourself some money.

Why wouldn't factory direct guns be cheaper than other stores mags? :confused:

I would think so that Tom can still support the dealers who have supported him for so long.

Look their at the guns, and the MSRPs on them. That is what will be charged in the online store. For example $1250 for an e-mag, when you can pick up a new one for $900.
They cannot go lower, because then they would be competeing with the stores that sell their guns, which would be a bad move.

SHOP AROUND!!!! There are many online paintball stores that sell EMags in this price range. If you want to pay 200-300 more than you need to then just sit back and wait for AGD to sell them here. Tom will love you for it :rolleyes:

But if AGD could sell them for less why don't they just stop selling them to other stores and sell them factory direct? I could see this would irrate some people but if the guns were cheaper i think more people would buy um.

Well, how do you get more Mag Players in the world if you are only offering the product online? Do you know how many people Won't shop online?

I agree with Tom and AGD selling parts online and being competitive with retailers, I'm sure he'd tell you that once you had a mag and wanted more stuff and your retailer wasn't carrying them, why not factory direct?

It'd be a big blow to lose the dealer network, not alot of money is made off the sale of each mag, but the aftersales and support is worth it.

AGD will not undercut their dealers. It is that simple. They cannot sell guns or tanks to you at any less than MSRP. That is the bottom line. Look at the price of the 4500 flatline. It cost 480.00 on the AGD store MSRP. It is already for sale at dropzone for 100.00 less. The only thing that the AGD store is going to be good for is a place to buy some of the custom stuff that they do and some of the small parts for the guns. Buy your gun elsewhere and save yourself some money. One of my team mates bought a brand new EMag on ebay for 700.00 last month.

It's not wise to undercut their dealers because their dealers won't sell for them anymore and they'll lose business. With all the dealers and stores stocking their products they'll make more money. If they undercut, they'll have to start a whole chain of AGD paintball stores causing them to lose a lot of money and maybe go out of business...

For those that don't know anything about retail. If you buy in bulk you get things at a lower price. Also, dealer price is not the same as our price. Paintballgears cost for a Angel is $750. Dealer cost for a emag is most likely $2-300 under retail. The only thing they care about is making $$. Irritate dealers:rolleyes: What are they going to do, stop selling them. It wouldn't hurt AGD to give us specials in limited quantity. Like say 100 4500 flatlines for $350. They would still make $$ and make the customer happy.:o
