    As long as a lot of people want mags, I think the market will not drop that much. But if people start leaving the forums and quitting paintball.. well then the market for paintball markers will drop a lot..

    Imagine selling a perfectly fine Xmag for 300$.. ouch haha

    I think that when the economy will go up a little, sales will start going up as well.
    A lot of nice markers are sold on the BST section, just not as fast as before.

      There are good and bad sides to the value of used paintball markers.

      Yes, it sucks to buy a $1400 gun and have it be worth $1,000 the next year. It also allows someone who might otherwise resort to buying an E-Spyder from Wal-Mart make an informed purchase, and invest in a quality used marker.

      Very few, if any, guns sell for their original value, or even half of it, a few years later. Most of the people that buy brand new markers on a regular basis are either uninformed, or have the financial resources not to care.
      My feedback

      Made in USA - it matters.
