Xmag Flood?

[kruger]

in 05 they were dime a dozen. most were sold for 700ish

Yup, that is when I picked up a coupla them. For people with disposable income, now is the time to ride the wave, cuz the wave will go back up, x's will be in demand and you can make a buck or two on them.

And, I have not had any personal dealings with Atach, but I also have seen some of the markers that he has sold. No clunkers in that bunch. Atach may have started this new wave of selling, but his reasons are his own. And, until he elects to reveal his motivations for moving on from AGD, then everything else is speculation and guesses. If somebody has been screwed by Atach, then, let them post up about it. I only noticed one xmag that he was selling that was not in working condition, clearly stated in the thread that it was not working. And, it sold to a gentleman in Florida, I think. I havent noticed any negative thread by him yet. As to his prices for the mags, you dont have to buy if you dont agree to the price. When he started selling, xmags were demanding a premium, but the market is awash with them now and the prices will go down. That is just the way that it is. He had an incredible collection, but, time and tastes move on. He felt it was time to move on to something else. It happens, and it doesnt really matter why. For how long was it nearly impossible to find an SFL for sale? Now, there is one in the BST that is available and you can thank Atach for the opportunity. It really doesnt matter if you can afford it or not, but the opportunity is there. Now, there is a chance for people who have never had an Xmag to finally own one, to see what its all about. This is not a bad thing. I remember lusting after my first Xmag, I was obsessed with getting one. Hell, I was obsessed with getting a lot of things paintball and I found a way to get the things that I wanted. But, if they are not available, then you cant get them. So, ride the wave, let the market cultivate a new generation of X owners, and leave the drama to PBNation, where it belongs.

Why does everything that happens have to be a big HS dramabomb (new word, I stole it from MCB). I know there are cliques on AO but do we really need to make an issue out of everything that might possibly be made controversial? So one of the members is selling some markers, possibly moving on from collecting paintball markers, or to collect some other kind. Is it really that big of a deal? Of course when large collections with a small niche market to sell to are open the price is going to wiggle some.

just thinking about the post and the responses....

If you look at each of the 7 Xmags for sale on AO, each owner has there own reason for selling. Many people need the $$$ for various reasons.... Leaving the sport, new marker they want, broken down car, weddings, and even the economy. I'm not sure if any of the sellers are just getting rid of their markers because of what A-Tach is doing.

From what I saw with A-Tach the Xmag resale value is still pretty strong. He sold most of his collection within a few weeks for what he wanted ($1000+) and what you are now seeing is A-Tach liquidation the last few Xmags for cheap because he just wants to be gone with this whole AO/Xmag fiasco.

I agree with Kruger and think that this will benefit the community for the better. The people who dreamed of buying an Xmag in 2003 will now have the chance to do so in 2010. Shoot, if Xmags start to drop near $500-$600 I know I will be in ultra-horde mode and then people will be angry that xmags are so hard to buy and the price will skyrocket. All in due time!

A handful of people may let xmags go cheap. Because they have tp, but I don't see them dropping far below 1k, quite frankly because some of us have a lot into them and aren't abt to lose our butts just because a couple guys were strapped for cash

Sure a bone stock emag wil sell for 900 once or twice. But the guys who paid over 1k and got tunablades, new software and nicer accessories aren't gonna sell at a huge loss, and enough of us don't NEED to sell that the prices will stay up

Aka guns stayed so high untill some of the younger agglets started buying and selling dc milled fresh annod. Rt valved super guns for far less than they were worth

Xmags aren't agg, so we don't have to worry about that

I won't sell my xmag stupid cheap, id rather keep it

Find on xmag fs on AO as nice as mine, lol

[gunangel]

It is definitely nice to see them on the market, let's a guy dream eh?

I just remember they were far and few inbetween and selling at double emag prices, but now they are floating around an up'd emag's price.

It is sad to see such a nice collection be seperated,
