Why doesn't Dave Zupan check/post here?

[PumpMag]

I'm just suprised that the New President of Airgun Designs does not check in/post on this forum at all.

I know we are a very small community and may not justify the expense of retooling and designing new products just for us loyal Mag shooters, but we sport the products at our local fields every weekend, ready and waiting to show off our new mag goodies to the paintballing public.

Other small businesses and Automag enthusiasts keep filling in to meet the need for new "AGD Product" demand:

Pneumatic frames
Pump Kits
New style Bodies/Rails
ULE milling/Pump Kit milling
Shirts/Hoodies/Hats/Jerseys
Emag Battery Packs
Xmag feed neck conversions
Xmod software upgrade

Where's Dave Zupan?

It seems that we pretty much hold the future of mags in the palm of our hands. Pretty big responsibility to give to a bunch of people on the internet if you ask me. Its a good thing we have so many people who have risen to the challenge.

I company for the people, then by the people, maybe for the people again?

I agree. Sooner or later(in years) we may just evaporate away.
We must have executive Leadership/ support to survive! Since tom is out of the game. Will anyone within the company step up?

[Dend78]

yeah that is a good point we the faithful users have been pulling this thing along, but as said without some good solid backing we arent gonna be able to pull forever

I don't think DZ cares. I tried ordering 12 rental mags several weeks ago, and he didn't even return my calls. This tells me that they either don't have enough parts to build 12 mags or that he doesn't want to waste the effort on an easy sale.

I don't think rental mags are in production anymore.

[AGDRetro]

Even so, as a salesman myself I can't understand why you wouldn't return the call. I dream of the kind of sales I had to put ZERO effort into! The paintball community already did all the sales pitches for him, all they have to do is return the call!

The guns will probably outlast our lifespan though.

I did the same six months ago for 30 proclasics and had the same problem. AGD is dead, I hate to finally admit it but it is.

Why would the president of the company be on the phone taking orders ?
He pays people to do that.
I believe her name is Marcy.
She will take your order and tell you what the shipping is to Canada.
She has never failed to respond to my email.
You may not like the Canadian shipping, but you can blame your own government for that.

The president of the company should get the necessary contact info to Marcy so she can complete the sale and bring some revenue into the company, not ignore a sales opportunity.

Marcy answers the phone, why didnt he just give the order to her when he called ?
Methinks he is leaving something pertinent out of his statement.
Something doesnt quite sound right.
Anytime I've called or emailed I get quick responses.

Right, but we should care enough to call her Marcia. Maybe that's why she isn't returning calls.

Thanks for the info, but maybe I should clarify some things.

1)When I spoke with Roman, he said Dave does all the pricing for the type of order that I was placing.

2)The field/proshop that I was buying them for is actually an AGD dealer.
