    inflatables why so high

    I just wondered why inflatable paintball bunkers cost so much and then this christmas there are eight foot santa clauses and snowmen that only cost $40 with a light and a fan.
    take a look at them at the following address


    then here are kapps "affordable" prices:



    so why? maybe they are made out of a weeker material?
    beets me

    reason #1:
    BECAUSE THEY CAN

    reason #2:
    material. if you took 1000 rounds to a big santa, i bet it would break after 10....an inflatable can take 1000 easy in ONE game

      hahahahaha great comparison. but no i dont know either. i can only guess cause there isnt as much of a demand for the inflatable bunkers as much as their is for giant animated santa

            You'll know paintball is over for good when at the IAO instead of playin on the Dye field or the Diablo field we're playing on the Santa field or the Grinch field....that'd be the day

              i almost bid on a 'bouncy castle' on ebay once. that would make for a real fun flag pull if you had to jump in one of those to get the flag. replace the center bunker with a bouncy castle and the snake with a really long ball crawl and maybe chuck-e-cheese will sponsor paintball!

                    Does anyone else besides me think that this is a price good enough to be able to buy one and *test* it?

                    BTW its on clearence so I doubt it will go down further than it would after christmas..
                    lol im going to shoot at it and watch it pop, adn when it pops ima send it back and ask for a refund..
                    OMG I AM SO GOING TO PLAY PAINTBALL WITH THIS THING

                      well think about it, these inflatables are replacing your girl freind...oh wait you're talking about bunkers, not blow up dolls, my bad, in that case, who knows why they're so much, prolly cause they're for paintball

                        lol I am so buying one for testing, and maybe a couple concept bunkers from kapp they would be a nice adiition to any field. Lol go out into the woods, set em up, and when you are done deflate them and takeem home.

                          Those KAPP prices really aren't that bad. You get 1 guy each on a 5 man team to buy two of those bunkers and you got a nice field going. KAPP's prices are much better than the $3,000 dollar or so price tag for a field from a place like paintball-discounters.com, plus you get to chose which bunkers you want with KAPP. Just my two cents.
