Thinkin about my next marker

[robdamanii]

Comes down now to a Race halfblock cocker or an intimidator. Leaning toward the race halfblock because its unique and I've been looking at a cocker for a long time.

Just got my IR3, now it's time to think about my next marker.

Why don't you just enjoy your IR3 for a while? Or are you that much of a consumer?

My recommendation:
Split up the money that you would have spent on another marker and apportion out:

50% for paintballs
50% for a charity of some sort.

Since it'll take me about 4 months to be able to purchase this marker, and I get free play for working at our field...what else will I do with it?

You can't think of anything to do with $1000+ other than purchase a fourth or fifth paintball marker?

If I had $1000, I'd be putting it away so that I could pay off bills, school loans, etc.. etc...

Or, you could donate to a few charities. If you apportioned $100 each to three charities, that would give you $700 banked and $300 going to help those who need it.

The consumerism that we feel here in America (i.e. I HAVE to get another paintball marker!) is NOT universal. It's scary how easily we're coerced into wanting even more stuff after we have just made a purchase!

DYE's marketing strategy plays off of this. Guess what people, the 2002, 2003 and 2004 jerseys, gloves, pants, etc are ALL THE SAME PRODUCT. The 2003 core pants are now repackaged as PROTO pants, and sell for half the price.... They're the same thing.

If you are going to get a Timmy.... save up and get an Alias or one of the alias style guns.... they absolutly rock. Also they have been lightened considerably, I was pretty amazed at the difference.

rob are you joking me. You have so many markers. Anyways I say you get a x-mag only so tha I can shoot it. Be unique and get the x-mag. No one else down here have one, but they do have cockers and timmys so get the x.

Oy. So now spending my own money in my own way is disallowed? I didn't ask for an accountant, I asked for an opinion on what marker to get.

I don't feel the NEED to have one, I feel I would like one. And if I can afford it, why not.

I donate to my charities; SPCA and LBEH. That's good enough for my conscience.

Pete:
Yeah, it's casey's IR3, all nice and lubed and cleaned inside and out. The X may be the reality. The halfblock is nice, but I'd like to start with something a little less first, and learn it from scratch rather than having it all put there for me. I've gotten rid of all the spyders and such, with 2 exceptions. And I've still got the phantom.

hey pete do you have a problem with him buying my old ir3?!

no i am jk. rob i have talked to you about this many times but you always change your mind then i just talk you into the halfblock again so just get it

The DM4 is also a great gun, but to me it gets boring after a while, you can't do anything with it. it has already hit its peak. i like being able to upgrade my guns and do stuff to them.

It's Peak??? It has only been out 6 months. Their are already the XSF and WAS chips, and Evolve is coming out with a bolt hopefully soon. It is no where near its peak, new products are just now starting to roll out for it. CP also just released their roller bearing triggers for the DM4. Much more to come, I promise.
