Cyn - My local field owner buys his paint at less than $20 a case and resells them for $108. I have very little concern about his losing money because I decided to save a couple hundred bucks on my Emag by buying it online.
As for generally purchasing stuff online. I work 40+ hours a week, take college classes so I can get a degree so I can make more money for my three kids. Also, so I can pay the ridiciously high field prices to play paintball.
During all of this, when exactly am I supposed to run to the paintball store? Instead, by using several different websites I can research just about any gear choice, evaluate it, search for the lowest price and then buy it online and have it delivered in a few days.
The opposite of this is to go to my local field, where the help is knowledgeable and helpful. I have purchased a lot of small things there but in all honesty, since he i the only "shop in town" his prices are astronomical. I bought a macro line kit from him last week for my Emag. If I bought it online and paid for overnight delivery I still would of saved 10 dollars. And those 10 dollars could of bought almost three gallons of milk for my family.
