honestly, if they told you that, would you order there?

[Spray Painter]

well then shouldn't they sell their stuff for less?

i also hope those orings i have got from them don't have problems

exactly. they sell them WAY below the MSRP of NPS NJ and JUST above (sometimes below) the wholesale price of NPS NJ

I think it'd be illigal for them to sell damaged goods to the public w/o telling them 1st

[Kevmaster]

i suppose its not

[Mossman]

I dunno about the blemed goods thing...the only thing i ever bought from em was my first tippy probably 2 years ago (around '00 when u heard this kev), and it was sealed in box. Lots of stuff is packaged by the manufacturer and cant be checked and tampered with easily.
Anyhow, all 32* stuff is broken before it leaves the factory, so it guess it holds water with their own parts

Also dude, dont be a moron and whine about it here, it tells u how much its gonna charge you for shipping before you give your credit card #.

i was hanging out at my local pro shop one day and the owner works with 888 on their angels. he gets the angels sent to him from 888 that dont work. i was there one day and a customer walked in with an angel bought from 888 and the board on it was fried and all the screws were stripped. he was sold a used angel from 888.

Really there should be a law because these items are not toys and even the simpleset of toys has to pass inspection before sold to the public.


Wow thanks Kev for the insight. I guess when it comes down to it, if something breaks and you get hurt I guess there are two companies you can sue.

Simply put *listen up* if NPS has anything to do with the item/company, don't buy it. You'll save yourself alot of grief. Sure some people save $5, but others get ripped $10.

and don't tell me NPS is just fine, its 888 paintball that is bad. 888 paintball is owned by NPS i believe, and they support it, so there just as bad.

[Kevmaster]

i dont know if Gino TECHINCALLLY owns 888, but he is VERY TIGHT with them. they may as well be owned by NPS. i personalyly deal with PI of SC and couldnt be happier

Heather, im not sure what im saying about suing people...they are perfect internally. they work just fine, no problems mechanically, they just have like a scratch, or an imperfect anno job, etc

[The Frymarker]

Well a scratch or an imperfect anno job is one thing but if you are paying for something that requires safety checks and doesn't pass inspection that is a whole other story. They should have to disclose that information.

So point taken Kev, after seeing this thread and having bought from them in the past I would be leary to do it again.

[Kevmaster]

yeh. saftey wise, i assume they work perfectly fine...just as well as someting you buy at the local store

but cosmetically, the premice of 888 is to "dump" the items on the market at a cheap price as opposed to the dealers
