Confused about RT PRO's

[Farlow]

I am interested in buying a RT PRO. I have been all over the internet and pricing has been as high as $750.00 to as low as $450.00. A very big price difference. The 2 sites I found the $450.00: The first was clearing inventory and the second had it in a closeout section. Is there a dated version of the RT PRO that I should be looking for? Or Should I be jumping at the $450.00 price. Thanks.

The dated rt pro won't have the intelliframe while the new ones will...

Although for $300 difference, You can buy a few intelliframes. Personally I'd grab a $450 Pro. Spend the $115 on the frame and save a chunk of money.

Yes that is the problem right now with the Pro, we announced the Iframe on them and everyone freaked out after Paintball Inc cloesed them out. Good deals for all at Christmas (just like I promised remember?)

Tom,

You are the smartest business man I've ever known. I mean, You can slash your product prices in half while you make even more profit than before while still producing the same amount of units...

Smartest? Capitalist? greater surplus extraction? alienation and exploitation?

I would be interested in finding out how AGD slashed proces, I would think it would do with restructuring of costs, reducing fixed overheads for instance.

Dunno bout them making more profit though? They may certainly have become more profitable but whether this means more profit overall remains to be seen?

[AGD]

NO No we didn't slash prices in half, that price is well below wholesale even today. Some people in the industry think mechanical guns will be a dead issue in a few months with the new cheap electros coming out of Taiwan. We will wait and see.

Hey Man,
Where are you finding RT Pro's for $450? I checked my usual three online paintball shops, and they were all ~ $580. Please post, so we here on AO can buy them all up!

One of the places was Paintball Inc, which was mentioned above, and the other was PaintballGames.com. Paintball Games had 2 left and told me they were just clearing inventory.
