Hi Folks,
I havn't posted on this forum in 3 years. That's when my girlfriend moved in with me and she swore she would never play pb. With that said we were very involved with other things and I didn't have time to play so I sold all of my pb equipment. Including my beloved RT and minimag which I sold for a premium even though all the electros began hitting the market and every day it seemed as if a new electro would emerge faster, smoother and lighter than the next. I even sold a bushmaster but didn't get nearly the premium as I did with the RT.
Fast forward 3 years to earlier this year, my gf was let go of her job as a sell-side analyst at Cantor Fitzgerald when they laid off their workforce in mass. This was 2 months after we bought our first house. After 6 months of not being able to find work, she entered grad school, an accelerated MBA program in accounting. She's being fast tracked for a job at one of the big accounting firms.
Times have been tough running a household on one salary but we're making it. Then about a month ago one of her friends at school organized a paintball day, and she wanting to mingle joined in the fun. We both went out rented some e-teks and had a blast. That sold it for her and now we're both back at playing paintball.
So I basically looked everywhere to find some RTs for us and even now it has been virtually impossible to find an RT for sale let alone at bargain basement giveaway prices (I was able to secure us two B2k4s for $140 - a big
Smart Parts btw). Picked up some other equipment and now we're just going to borrow some HPA tanks for now from the fields that we play at Skirmish and Top Gun on the east coast. We were able to get some free passes for play and hopefully can afford to play once a month at least.
I just wanted to drop in and say hi and also pay my respects to Tom Kaye and thank AGD for basically making my life fun at the paintball fields for the better part of 5 years until I stopped playing. Outside of a 'cocker that I wasn't smart enough to throw off the timing by upgrading the hell out of and the bushy that I owned I had always had a mag. To this day, its impossible to get a deal on an RT, which is a testament in itself.
I'm hoping that as soon as we're in better straights about a year from now, that I'll have one of the new lighter mech Mags and hope to support AGD by buying it new. Can't wait to rip with a mag again.
