    Where do all the trade in valves go?

    I'm just curious, when people do the trade in valve program, or go retro program, and now the new X valve program, where do all the valves go? Do they rebuild them and sell them? Is there a used box that I never heard of? Do they melt them down and recycle them? What on earth do they do to them?

      Actually, I believe they're sold to Action Village and put in the TKO Mags. I could be wrong...

        They get melted. We want them out of circulation.

          I read this and said to myself, "Doesn't suprise me one bit"

          It seemed true enough until we were enlightend by TK. I guess that shows the credibility of Action Village hehe

                No. Because the whole point of the discount is to get old valves which may have tolerance or wear issues etc. out of use so that AGD do not have to support them.

                          he just said he wants them out of circulation! they get old and have problems and they cost AGD $$$ to fix them. so they sell you a new better valve( the X valve now) and take your old beat war horse and put it out to pasture.
