      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.
        Shoot it like you stole it!

            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.

                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.

                          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?
