    I just called SP, and while it was a sales rep, they said parts and markers were still going. Granted it may have been bs, but thats as close to an actual sp rep as I could get. Maybe we happy bananaed a bit prematurely?

      Well, it looks like they've told actual clients/dealers otherwise. At least 3-4 have come forward in this thread.

        Like I said, probably bs. Personally I would love to see them lose the patents, they shouldnt have filed them in the first place. I just hate to see those poor SP girls out of work. Lol

              I spoke with a local S Fl dealer ( he built private label impulses for them , still has about 10 of them on the wall ) he told me , they told him they were not taking orders for markers at this point & all markers were on back order , "he said " what bit them was the new plant & new CNC machines , the bank that had financed them was sold to another bank & the new bank want them to put up personal property as collateral on the note ; they refused & told the bank to come get the machines , but of course the bank doesn't want any CNC machines
              ( all 3rd hand info )

                      Hmm, so if SP does close its doors (and I'm not convinced they will) does that mean we gotta carry over the love (Hate) to GI Milsim and Luxe?

                          In what may be related, or may just be the paintball version of NASCAR's "Silly Season", it seems many of the Philly American players are making the "hard decision" to move to other teams. I've been watching something of an exodus from the team over the last month or so. I see Federov is going back to the Russians now. Could be another sign. Or, could be nothing. But I don't believe in coincidences.

                            Just start calling it Gardner/Italia Milsim. That way, everyone will know to automatically hate it too.

                            Make it a practice to do it daily. It's fun to see bad people lose money.

                              C'mon Guys !

                              Is that the best this forum can do ...... hate ? That's just rediculious. Hate is not needed here. If you don't like their business practices, don't patronize their business. Very simple. Hate not needed.

                                Not so simple if you take into account the fact that buying any electronic marker from any business is "patronizing their business".
