Will (decent) paint prices ever fall?

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

Me too.

I pay $40 for Blaze, which shoots awsome in my ULE mag. I really hate fields that are FPO, and jack their prices sky high just because they can. P&L Paintball in Avon, MA is a perfect example. They move SO MUCH paint (they are a regional distributor of many items), yet a case of Colors still costs $100 at their fields. WTF is that!?

A pain I know all too well. When my brothers and I played there we bought 500 rounds of their crap and snuck a full case in.

$40 for a case of quality paint is a great deal. On the other hand, I can get a case of Big Ball (crap, IMHO) for $28.

I would kill for a case of bigball for 28...

ME 2...bigball $28 omg...my store "Dropzone Extreme Sports" is a monopoly cause there is no other place in town. Bigball is like $60 there, but I buy off the internet anyways so not a huge deal.

Lol well, I have to drop 45-55 on it and i must say i like it but it's not that great. But that's the cheapest paint round here so i eat it up

I think someone will come up with a more efficient way of manufacturing paintballs and the prices will drop. Someone brought up on another thread that paint could be manufactured like M&Ms: the fill is poured into a mold and frozen into a sphere, and the outside is sprayed on. If a process like this could drop paint prices, paintball would be cheaper as a whole and gain popularity at a faster pace.

[TeamNausea]

Bu tthe colors arent sprayed on the outside.

i pay 20 a case for ultra evil. damn them making me pay so much

Paint prices have dropped a lot since I first started playing like 5 years ago. I remember when people were paying over $120 a case for Marbalizer. Now you can find it for less than $60 a case.

those must have been field paint prices, because I bought marbs back then with the old style shiny shell for around $60 online.

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

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

wow.. i only pay like 75-80 a case for practices, and 100 a case for tournies, which is always field paint only here.. But it's not bad, because that is also Canadian prices..

Where do you lik though BlackHalo? In BC?
