DYE out of business?

[drewwho]

So my friend said DYE is going out of business. i am out of the loop, is there truth to this?

[bound for glory]

would'nt bother me.i meet "super" dave once many years ago when i went out to cali for a wedding. smug and arrogant.

[Me�iCX]

Seriously doubt that.

[Ando]

Seriously doubt that.

Agree...

[Frizzle Fry]

Agree...

Seconded.


DYE owns a good chunk of the high-end softgoods market. The Matrix bottomed-out in 2008, and the Ego has started to in 2010. Unfortunately the GEO has beaten the hell out of the NT on many levels and will probably outlast it. I doubt that DYE is going anywhere but I expect they'll drop the DM, fix up the NT, and come out with something other than the PMR/SLG to appeal to the mid-low market like a strip-down NT or something. We might see a new DYE, but it'll be DYE.

well, hate to burst all your bubbles(because i really doubt most of you have been in his presence), i was introduced to dave by a friend of a friend. looked over his gear and stood there and listened to him have a conversation with one of his lackeys about, well, how great his markers were compared to "just about everything out there for the foreseeable future". and i don't care if you guys read any number of magazine articals and he seems like a nice guy. i heard him, he acted big headed, and thats how he was that day.
again, the magic of the internet! now, lets hear how great the guy is. because so many here know him, right?

Calm down man, I think we were all collectively doubting that DYE is going out of business, not your story. That's the topic of this thread, after all.

Doesn't really matter if Dave is a douche or not. Dye has a good share of the market. Their new line of scenario gear has good reviews (expensive for my taste). They've been around along time and haven't made any major bad decisions that would lead them to failure.

[RogueFactor]

Never met Dave and dont care if he is a douche or not. As long as he takes care of his customers. I wouldnt lose any sleep if this were true though.

i had my emag and about the only thing he directly said to me was "hows that cinder block shooting today"? when i said "great", he said "miracles never cease". and then he acts like hes already forgotten i'm there and says to lacky #1, "i can't get past the weight of that thing"..."who would want to carry that around all day"?...and my favorite, "your carrying a cider block, that breaks half the paint that goes through it, you need a car battery to power it, all for $1200". the lacky laughs like a horse and some hangers on hot looking chick laughs and(i am not kidding) says, "if it ain't dye, it ain't paintball". really.

Cinder block? Does Davey remember his "pimped VM68" days?

Yeah, thats a total low class jagoff comment. I'm glad it made him feel better as a person to have to say that stuff.

[bound for glory]

and thats the point i was trying to get across. tho, tbh, he was making remarks about several paintball guns.
and thats the diffence between guys like the great gardner brothers and youngblood(and for the most part, bob long), compared to tom kaye. its something called CLASS! and yes, i've meet all these people. just my opinion, btw.
