AO,

We have about 25-30 Sydarms that came back from our military distributor. We are considering selling them WITHOUT warrantees of ANY KIND. They would be about 325 dollars. I am trying to see how many people would be interested.

They are used, some are refurbished and those would sell for 350.

Whadya think?

HHmm...me thinks an extruded sydarm body would be a nice idea for a new AGD project...gets rid of that nasty little oring that ruins all the nice little sydarms..

Oh, what 'ta heck, I'm on an AGD buying spree...

I'll take one, please! :)

On the other hand there is not many of them around so....

I don't imagine these things can be in too bad of shape, or I don't think you'd sell them to us, so put me down for one.
BTW- What about this o-ring wearing out? Is it Sydarm-specific and irreplacable and the whole thing somehow stops working when it breaks? I kinda doubt that, so somebody explain it to me please :)

Mossman

I know AGD has the final say, but I would like to see the price drop just a little. They are used, and with no warranty...but it is a great opportunity. Regardless, im in!

AGD
04-08-2003, 11:59 PM
These are hardly what you would call used. They were demos used by the salesmen to sell plastic pepperballs. They have never seen real paintball action.

Yes the price is high but its higher on Ebay.

Jeez what a turn out in 1 night.

Unfortunately, I talked to Tom in chat last night, and this was just a joke. Kind of like the Crown Point barrel thing, remember?

So I suggest you all unsubscribe from this thread, maybe even put Tom on "ignore", anything it takes to not be pulled into his Tomfoolery.

Did you know they took the word gullible out of the English dictionary also?..... :D












I expect they left it in the USA version of the dictionary though. ;)

The oring he is talking about is between the two halves of the body (the upper tube which hold the paint and 12gram, and the lower tube which is the barrel and reg). The problem is that if this oring goes bad it starts to leak something terrible. At the SC AO Meet I offtered Tom $250 to replace this pring for me and he turned it down. My guess this is the reason he is offering them with no warranty. I am sending my gun down to Brad this week to see if he can fix the problem, but we'll see how it goes.

As for me, thank you sir, may I have another!!!!

Yes Gadget, we can work that all out. Do you live near Simon? Just wondering if we could work out a single shipping point is all.

Gadget
04-09-2003, 10:34 AM
Not too close - if Simon is in Leamington Spa we're probably about 130 miles away from each other - but I'm sure we could sort something out (meeting at a tourny or something).

:)

cphilip
04-09-2003, 10:36 AM
Ok but you would trust it to be sent to Simon if need be then? And that should save some pounds on the ship for both of you...

manike
04-09-2003, 10:40 AM
I get around enough to meet at an event. BUT Gadget is near to where AGDE are... so you could just get Tom (or one of the very lovely AGD Office Ladies :) ) to ship them to AGDE with the next batch of stuff... Gadget can pick his up locally, and I can get mine shipped from AGDE or grab them from Sosta or Bonich at the next event we both attend...

cphilip
04-09-2003, 10:45 AM
That sounds like a plan. I and or We can probably arrange that easy enough but like I say I am able to go it on my own if need be! Fed Ex is my friend there! :eek: :D

Gadget
04-09-2003, 10:53 AM
Hehe, no problems with trusting Manike, but the AGDE suggestion is a good one - spookily I was actually over there yesterday talking to Sosta.

Just need to wait and see if Tom will let us all get our grubby mitts on them first :)

Mossman
04-09-2003, 11:11 AM
So it's the o-ring that seals the 12 gram's co2 and the body so the gas finds its way into the valve, eh?

Is the problem simply that you cant get the 2 body sections apart, or the o-ring itself is impossible to find in the right size? If 30 more AOers all of a sudden have sydarms something tells me the problem will get a tidbit easier to solve.... we have a few smart folks on here. Sad to say I aint one of 'em, but we do have a few! I'm smart enough to know that :D

Sydarm bodys are not compatable with anythign but the sydarm valve. So unless oyou're taking of mounting the sydarm valve and body... and getting vertical feed barrels... you're going to be in for a nasty suprise.

tom, let me be the first to say, i am quite dissapointed. The sad thing is, that this dealer, wil probabally charge alot for these sydarms, and not the 325 you offered them to us at.

That bothers me, because, well there was the oppertunity to sell some aoers, the most wanted agd marker(besides the x-mag) at a really good price. now, they will probabally cost about 500, and no one will want to get one, except those who can afford 500 on a sydarm. I dont know about some of you, but i sure as hell cant.

I was going to sell my phantom and everything for the sydarm.... now, id have to sell it, and wait about 5 months....


Tom, i am quite dissapointed, yet i do understand, dealers before ao.....

Muzikman
04-09-2003, 09:41 PM
I can say I'm sort of glad. I wish Tom would take all Sydarms and lose them so that the one that I bought for $500 keeps it's value. This is sort of like having a Babe Ruth rookie card and then finding out that the card company is releasing 50 more at a rather cheap price. Drive the prices down. Not that I will ever sell my Sydarm, but the reason I was willing to pay $500 for one was because they are not readily available.;)

those 25-30 he had would be gone in a day and the demand would still probably warrant someone spending $500...
it was just a really really good deal TK teased us with...

While I'm getting my credit card ready :) I have a few question:

1. Can you get replacement/rebuild parts for the Sydarm from the automag parts kit or do you have to preform some sort of voodoo ritual for parts.

AND

2. What are the chances that AGD will make more Sydarms or a newer version? There seems to be TONS of interest in these things.

A new design would be more handy because those with the original Sydarms would still retain their collectable value.

How many people would buy a new version of the Sydarm if AGD made it... I know I would. <hint hint>

Oh... Okay I thought you meant something else. Sorry.
I was hoping/wishing that whatever dealer bought the Sydarms would be willing to sell them...which is why I why I was getting my CC ready.
Then when you posted that they were SOLD I thought you meant there was another post saying which dealer bought them.

After looking at my post I can see how my horrible sentence structure could mislead ya. Sorry bout that. I'm still a little confused. ;)
