Why are people selling their E-mags

[Shail]

Just like the title says, I am wondering why there are players putting their emags up for sale?

[pip_999]

hype

well mostly because people want angles

its mainly cause AGD is not a big name in the whole paintball industry, actually let me take that back, its a big name but not as big as WDP WGP etc

so peiople want angels they see all these pro's anbd they see how many people have them and they think hey that must be one of the greatest guns ever

but really the e-mag will perform just as well as an angelm, and in cosmetics i think that the e-mag looks better

but i think its jus cause people want
ANGELS, SHOCKTECH COCKERS, MATRICES, MATRIXS, ETC

[Creative Mayhem]

Why?

I think the angel is a more flashy gun compared ot an emag. It basically is an old look, still looks like one of the original bodies. The emag extreme is is going to change that perception, and the c+c extreme will definately spice things up when they come out in full force.

Some people want to buy Extremes - some people don't like the E-Mag - some people want to try something else - some may need the money for non-paintball related issues.

I wouldn't read into it too much. People sell E-Mags on AO because it is an AGD product and we all want AGD products. However, if you try to look up E-Mags on ebay u may only get a half dozen or so, while there are pages of Autocockers and Angels. Does that mean people don't want those guns?

Well I am getting ride of mine just because after playing a couple times with it, neither myself or my wife could get a rythem with it. She said she felt that she was always trying to get comfortable with it every time she shouldered it. Its a great marker, just we never clicked with it. She find's markers with a regular gas thru and close set foregrip/grip-frame to be more comfortable. Thats the main reason we are parting with ours and looking into getting another Impulse (I traded hers for the EMag *still hearing about that one*), or Matrix or Excablibur.

My impression was that people were selling their E-Mags while they can so as to get an X-Treme. Why sell now? Well prices have dropped from $750 to $650 in the past couple of months and more are appearing in the classifieds. I figure people are parting with them while they still can before the price dips even lower.

A friend of mine is selling his E-Mag because he just liked the feel of his Angel more than the E-Mag. Even with a superbolt the E-Mag just had more *kick* to it than he liked. Besides he didn't see the need for owning both markers, so he's sticking with the Angel.

Well some people sold them to buy IR3's, some are waiting for the extreems and others just like to try different guns.

I like lower prices...

Excellent... Maybe soon I can afford a used emag.

[Snooky]

Major reason i saw for people selling um is either going angel or xtreme. not many saying they had problems with them but wanting an even better gun and trying to unload um before the extremes come out.

[oneshot]

I sold mine because I want a extreme

Emags seem to sell in waves lately. Around late Feb. there were a bunch floating around up for sale, and then almost nothing on AO almost nothing on Ebay, now its picking up again. I really think its just market trends and people looking to try new stuff. Anyone dissatisfied with the actual performance of their emag will beat kicking themselves when the new mods come out.

[Blennidae]

Wouldn't it be cheaper and better for Emag owners to wait and just do an upgrade to the Extreme?

[Evil Bob]

I had to buy 2 angels because of the team sponsors asked us to use angels. I had two because one or the other of them was invariably in the shop on a non stop basis.

I have since replaced both angels with an EMag which is simply less problematic and fussy then the angels ever were.
As soon as the Xtreme is out, I'll buy the body upgrade.

Mine worked flawlessly (after taking the jumpers out of the warp and buying a Freak) but I just wanted to try something else. I love paintball, and would own one of every gun if I were a millionaire. But I'm not, so I will have to sell the one im useing to purchase another. Thats why I did it. I will eventually have money to have many guns at once. And when that time comes you can bet I will have another E-mag/Extreme etc.

my buds are selling em cus they break paint too much.
