Accelerated Angel Depreciation

[Ov3rmind]

I wonder how cheap they'll be next Summer. The fact that I may be able to buy one with some extra cash just laying around is awesome. I remember when I started playing paintball and the LCD had just barely come out, man, anyone who owned one was a God.

Doesn't hurt my feelings any cause I'm looking to get a couple angels in the not so distant future.

Its a shame too, I remember when I first started and the word Angel meant you had a super accurate fastest shooting gun in the world, but that was really just amongst myself and friends. Anywho, it really does suck the market is like that, if you ACE and LCD you have a REALLY ripping marker. But I can see why this is happening, the newer Angels gotta compete with the new guns that have like 0 kick (or older ones such as THE MAG! w007) and no capabilities of chopping and the Speed and A4 were the answer (although the ACE is better than the Sensi IMO, and they still give a bit of kick). If anything thank Dynasty for keeping LCD's and all in the spotlight, those boys will ACE any Angel and still rock with it.

Oh yeh, a guy on my team is selling me his 2k2 CNC LCD with a 68/45 I believe for about 400, just because the battery is dead and he doesnt wanna bother fixing it. Sad days..

Hmmph. I just sold my 2K1 Fly to one of my photographers for $650...granted it came with a CP barrel kit, Eclipse Blade frame and other goodies, so it's a fair deal.

Of course, I did just snag a 2K1 Adrenanline Angel for $510, so I dunno. Shame really, because the guns are worth more than they're fetching on the market. I'll probably keep this one, as it's one of 15 in the world...

Well the kicker to me is that Angels are so inexpensive, yet a dressed up POS Impulse can fetch $1000+.

Just a heads up, Cobra is getting rid of the rest of their Cobra LCDs for $790 (just in green, single trigger), awesome deal. I wish I had the money laying around.

I just sold my mag and picked up a nice 2k2 C&C LCD for $600 w/ a 12" dye ultralight and a really nice looking anno. I'm havin trouble finding that perfect trigger setup, but I'll find it soon!

Very true. Almost all mechanical cockers are worth 1/2 of what the were worth last year. Manufacturers like Dragun, Psycho Ballistics and a host of others have turned the gun/system's proud heritage into a cash cow that pays homage to the spyder.

No, it's a 2k2. The pics dont do it justice. Its hard to see the milling and anno in em.

[Cliffio]

i dont care what milling it is, there is no such thing as a 2k2 angel lcd.

[dansim]

actually cliff i dont belive there is any 2k3s there are how ever 2k2 limited editions, and 2k2 base models(not sure about the cut and carve) i know for a fact they had 2k2 base lcds because i had one

[speedyejl]

There are 2k3s they were released right before or after the speed.

Also the decrease in resale isn't only because of the market being flooded its partly because of higher performance markers coming out. Which indirectly does cause the market to become flooded but only slightly. A cocker that cost $1000 in '00 isn't going to stand up next to a $1000 Trix, even if the cocker was in like nib condition.

[Cliffio]

sorry, there were 2k3 lcds

however there is no such thing as a 2k2 milling style


have a look
