    anything AGD!!!!!!

    My nearest/closest thing to my local store would be BAD BOYZ TOYZ and well they arent very mag friendly. Love to see more AGD products. TAC, ULE Bodies, triggers, all the pretty goodness that AGD has come up with in the last few months, year.

      Nothing against mags(i own one) but most ppl will never go for them and unless there is a big mag following in his area then hell never ever turn a profit off of it. And i do suppose a profit is what he aiming at, so he needs to stick with more all user friendly gear.

      Manike-It's still early days. One thing for sure is that the future is going to be interesting, and we intend to be a BIG part of it.

            I wish my local shop would carry 'mags. Having said that, I wish my local shop carried used markers, because a combination of the two is about the only way I'm going to get an x-mag. :/

            In any event, they stock the standard assortment of Model 98's, A5's, mech and electro spyders, and cockers. The owner keeps one upgraded tippmann product on the wall at all times and the rest are usually stock - he'll put a new barrel on a '98, along with a stock or drop, maybe a RT kit or flatline. Funny thing is the upgraded markers (besides being more expensive than the base marker + upgrades) almost always sell off the wall faster than any others. He's also got a intimidator and a viking sitting up there, but no other high end markers.

            Anyways, he does carry some oddball stuff like the sportscomm radios, goggle flague and a splatmaster rapide, but nothing too whacky. I've convinced him to put a q-loader up on display just to spark some interest, he's already got one or two of every loader made for sale.

            What *I* want to see:
            Black or Red X-Mag
            Fade anno'd and milled e-bladed cocker
            RT-Pro/FragMag/RogueMag
            Some Angel varient (I like the dark angels and angel fly's)
            and as much as I hate to say it, a '03 shocker

              we got it all except the viking and the rapide and q loader... but we are expanding the store, so if business is better then what it is then im sure we could get the owner to pick up a qloader

                Stuff form Evil paintball well at least over here in PR for some strange reason PMI takes allot of time to send their stuff over here i think they ship it thru mules.


                I was told the reason for PMI take so long to ship over here is that the ******* that take all the order from over here is the laziest mother in the world and do everything at the last minute.

                  More replacement parts. I blew my burst disk on my tank once and had to send it off to Crossfire to get a new one b/c the store didnt' have any and I had no clue what to do. Also more orings for different guns.

                      A way to compete with internet prices it to offer a warrenty for all the markers you buy. Just say if it breaks because of anything besides neglect (sp?) then we will fix it for life. Make sure to sell only quality markers and have at least one marerks wiz per each kind of marker you sell. Hope that made since Good luck with what ever you are planning.

                        The problem is Buy in Prices for new shops. It just costs alot to get brand name stuff in a store. DYE i think is 2k alone. and you cant carry just DYE products.

                        I support my local shop 100% just spent $250 there today and ordered another 100 or so in stuff through the store

                          I've been to 2 of my local proshops, and all I've seen were LX's...
                          As a note to this..

                          Here in Edmonton (Canada) there are about 5 local shops.. I know 1 pro shop does carry SOME things but they are all used.. Another shop, which is a used sporting goods store does have a decent selection of stuff but nothing new and the prices are freaking CRAZY!...

                          The pro shop I go to, great owner, awesome guy, love his field all that sort of good stuff doesnt carry any AGD stuff at all.. On top of that, none of his staff even know how to work on it!!

                          At the last big game, of the 175 players, 1 other guy was playing with a mag, and another guy had one in his car as a back up.. other then that they are very hard to find up here..

                          So I would love to see a store carry more AGD stuff (including my local store LOL) but I would say it must depend on your local area.. If you have mag owners around, bring it in, if you dont, it can be a stock item that just sits taking up space and not making you any money..
