    This made me look at what I had. It was a Battle Boy in Real Tree pattern.
    I still cant believe people would pay that much

      Meh, based on some of the info he provided from Sandana this seems like a legit collectors item.

      Items (anything really) incorrectly branded (that slipped past QC) are typically worth some money. So I could see how this could fetch a handsome sum to an avid collector of paintball gear.

      As a non collector I (personally) feel it's a retarded price to ask for such an item...but that's just me. To each their own.

        Er, exactly? Not my cup of tea, but I'd figure you to understand that things are worth whatever someone will pay for them.

        God....I guess I was probably returning videotapes.

          Apparently sandana collecting and trading is a big thing on PBN.

                Asking price and buying price are 2 different things. Some people have old sandanas and they put up ridiculous prices trying to capitalize on the Agg kiddies and prove P.T. Barnum correct.

                I have a white skull and crossbones I bought for $7 when I first started playing that I've thought of doing that with.

                    Whenever there's a shmock willing to pay that much, I guess...

                    I'll certainly hold on to mine for as long as possible and maybe sell them in 10 years or so for $2,000! LOL If I get lucky, I might get a straight trade for a SFL Mag

                      Theres a post I never want to see:

                      WTT: Rare sandanna

                      Bring SFL's, X-mags plus cash, or a pair of Tom Kaye's lightly used boxers.

                        I've always thought this was just a huge inside joke that never died. I still cannot believe anyone would be that mindblowingly stupid. There are actual, legitimate collectibles and antiques out there that don't cost that much money.

                          When is a piece of paper with a picture of a guy with a bat worth several thousand dollars...

                          Sandanas are just like any other collectible.
                          Hey, look at that! It's Santa!

                            its sad, they have a club on pbn too. current thread title is "our sandanas have been playing longer than you" and im sure it goes for 99% of the members too.

                              Wonder if my old Sandana is worth anything...

                              Wonder if anyone is dumb enough to buy it LOL.

                                Unless it's the magical sandana of invisibility, I would have to pass. If my wife found out that I spent that much on anything I would be on the couch for a week.
