Will (decent) paint prices ever fall?

[Raven4000SX]

The only thing that's expensive in Paintball is the paint itself. I spend at least $50 on a case everytime I play. Admission is only $20-$25 dollars. Air is free.

[Spaceman613]

instead of complaining about high paint prices, why not shoot a little bit less and make your dollar go farther.

grr

I hate all you guys

At my closest field, renters pay $200CAD for a case and owners pay $160CAD.

That's for whatever they get that week...recently Tork.

Most of you guys quoting prices are talking about store bought (or internet) paint. I agree there that paint prices have come down a lot.

Once you get to a field however, it turns into a different story. These days I'm really happy if I can buy a case for $65 instead of $85-$100. There are NO fields in this area that sell paint for $30-$40 and only one that I can think of that lets you BYOP.

I only play at BYOP fields, but most of the fields here are byop. Which is great, i can usualy pic up a case for 35 from my local/ex sponsor

I played last weekend and bought Predator(sp) 40/case and it was fine, no chops but they did have downfalls like bouncing off of my friends lens - not the mask but the actual hard plastic lens, that made me regret buying it.

its 60 a case for PMI Premium's here... i dont think i could ever bring myself to pay 100+ for a case.

[TeamNausea]

For 44 i can get a case of bigball and i nean for that much it is great.

[steveo356]

Prices fall because paint ball is growing... more poepl make balls guns ect more people get into it = more fields = price war = happy pbers spend next to nothing for a case of paint and a gun that might have costed 2000 a few years ago

[Lohman446]

I pay $47 a case for it at the field and thats full price on it. This is good paint, seldom more than a week or two old and stored very very well. It is also gaurenteed, shooting poorly in your gun, trade it bag for bag for something else, got a broken bag, trade it in for another one. I know that my team and I have selected Kick'n for our choice of paint at Chicago Open and thanks to Colors Paintball Field and Kick'n paintballs will be getting a very good price on it.

As it's been stated,Paintball prices have dropped A TON in the last 10 years as the quality has gone up as a whole.

And you can not use Feild paint prices as an accurate gauge of paint prices due the profit margin required by fields to simply stay in business.It's either higher paint prices and lower feild/air prices or the other way around.

Bigball good paint and its like $42/case online...same with premium

$47 a case for paint, $10 entry includes all day air. Those both seem reasonable enough to me

[toolfan62]

WOW...i can get evil for like 50 a case at my local store..blaze is like 40 a case and PMI premium os like 30 a case..and my local field charges 10 entry and 10 for all day air..i feel bad for u guys

[riooso]

I pay $45 for inferno. That is a very fair price if you ask me.
