Yes thats him, it is customary for sponsored players to sell their equipment after they are done with it. Oh is shooting an Xtreme now so it obvious why he is parting with it.

I think it'd be nice if "sponsored" players took the equipments that were obtained as gifts, and allowed you to give them away as prizes on the online parties and at BIG AO meets, like the one in SC Anyway, But anyway I gotta agree with yeahthatsme, it's an emag plus extras for less than 650$!! I'm thinking bout getting one of those CC they send to me that I just tear up!......nah, I love my minimag too much

I can't tell from the picts. Is that a Highrise Powerfeed on there? I thought that the highrise bodies were only done with some classic rt's.

You would think that once they got new equipment, or ended their sponsorship, the old equipment would be taken back by the sponsor. Then as one member suggested, the Sponsor could then give that away as a promo prize or something.

I would have to agree. For some reason it just doesn't seem to work that way in paintball. Then again, I never had to give back any of the "stuff" I got from sponsers. It was a lot less than a marker, however...

must be nice...
sponsors actually GIVE stuff to people! (I know they do, just making a point) Incredible.

personally, if someone gives something to me free of any special agreements, then it is mine to do with, whatever I want. Again, personally, I would probably choose to give it away, but I wouldn't necessarily expect that the person I gave it to, would not sell it (I would hope they would actuyally use it, at least).

I know that one of the guns I did give away was sold almost immediately by the receiver and resold at least two more times and if I am not mistaken, each seller (especially the first one) made some profit. I don't think that it was "wrong" for them to sell it.

However, if I gave away a marker and had a pre-requisite that they not sell it, but use it or give it away (telling the next owner that they had to use it or give it away, etc...), which I have done before - then I would be very distrurbed it I found out it was sold.

European Powerfeed (if I remember the auction correctly.) Yeah. That sounds like the High-Rise Powerfeed. A perfect reason for a level 10 kit. I believe they were taken out of production b/c of apparent chopping issues.

And FWIW- I stand corrected. ICOM IM'd me last night about this auction, and I told him it was somebody trying to get more bid. Tom's post has since proven me wrong. (I'm big enough to admit that)
