    Why do mags have such bad retail

    I can't figure it out mags have the worst second hand retail of all guns made. I have put alot of money into my mag like $700 and when I put up a post to find out what it is worth people offer around $300

      Mag aren't as hyped as cockers or angels. That's why.

        I would have to agree with Foo. I purchased a copy of a paintball magazine and all you see are pretty guns. Most of them cockers.

        The only pick of a mag that I caught was one of a child using one.

        Made me feel like I was left in the past. I like it!

          "custom" cockers sell for about a 1/4 of thier new value. Mainly because there are a TON of "tricked" mags and cockers out there - so its real hard to get a premim price. Few people with $700 in their pocket will buy a used mag - they would rather get a brand new RT Pro.

          Problems or questions with the site or your account? Email me: [email protected] I collect old guns and paintball gear. Email me if you have stuff to sell!

            I like to buy used mags, but I don't offer much for the "tricked" aspects. I offer the same for a stock mag as a "tricked"(I hate that word, but it is usefull) mag. The only add-ons that I give value are AGD upgrades such as grips, and barrels.

            Also the shift to electro markers has left a glut of decent used non-electros for sale.

            Of course there is the "pretty" aspect too, as metioned above.
