    how much is too much?

    yea, looking back at the past week, i've spent almost 400 bucks on my mag this week, and i'm not even done upgrading, i just bought an x-valve, and an intelliframe (i'll post pics when they come in and i get the film developed) but i did have to take some self control, and had to turn down a game because i dind't have money, and didn't feel right hitting the parents up for money when i've spent so much, cause there's a big game sunday, but i can't go because i'm in the middle of an upgrade w/ the x-valve, and i don't have a valve at the moment, and i called the shop to see when/if there will be another game, and he said, well i'm not going, you can use my gun [a kick @ss emag] if you want, but yea, how much is too much to put into your gun in 1 week?

    Yeah man, I hate the feeling. I feel the need to buy barrel kits and new tanks and stuff. =(

    Just to think that in 5 years, this stuff won't be worth nearly as much as what I paid.

        Holy run-on, Batman!

        I'll usually save up a couple months for bigger purchases, only to make sure I have enough cash on hand for any emergencies like car repairs. If you have the money to spend, I don't see why you shouldn't spend it.

          I'm probably going to be spending $600-700 soon on a new gun, so, don't feel weird... if you think about it, you're spending it all at once, so later you won't really have to worry as much about buying upgrades.

            Everytime i buy stuff, it doesnt bother me cause i sell it later for more money than i bought it for. 2 months ago I got an impulse with 2 co2 tanks and a ricochett loader for 220. Last weekend i got a black automag rt with boomstick for 200

              yea, but the thing is, i didn't get a new gun, this all went into my mag, i could have bought another mag, hell another 2 mags (well maybe not 2 emags) for the money i've put into my little minimag

              but you know what, i love it, cause my mag is gonna be rocking after i get these in, my only other option i have to decide on is, do i stick w/ gravity feed w/ my ricochet, and buy a center feed body and polish it myself, or do i go warp....hmm decissions, decissions

                    I have no money at all. I have been known to blow about that much almost every week. Check my sig. for the goods. I love to play and I have decided to slow down in my purchases so I can play every weekend. Save up a little at a time to buy upgrades. That way you can play with the gun instead of having it sit in pieces.

                      FordPrefect-

                      I just talk to people a lot at the fields. get connections. Buy guns that dont work quite right and fix them 5 minutes after i buy them. The impulse...well...I knew someone who had to pay their rent...like SERIOUSLY PAY THEIR RENT or be homeless. Having cash on hand also helps.

                      By the way Mr. Prefect, that was a great book! (ive only read the first one)

                          its really easy to lose track of how much you've spent. i always find myself buying way to much stuff, then not having any money to actually buy air and paint to play.

                          BTW, that first post was the biggest run-on i've ever seen lol.
