    will the hAir trigger depreciate emag value?

    with the hAir trigger coming out, do you think used emags will sell for less money? with similar performance and it being mechanical, cheaper overall and the fact that its "the new thing" do you think it will depreciate the emag monitarily? what do you all think?

    It won't be a whole lot cheaper.

    I expect giant rush when the flood gates open, causing it to be backordered similar to xmags. Maybe emags won't depreciate until they get all caught up in orders.

    If you ask me emags have taken quite a hit as far as value goes quite enough already. I mean they are going for 400-500 dollars.....thats much less than some of the mech mags out now.

      How much more of a hit can E-Mags take? Will we have to pay people to take them?

        my suggestion to AGD: have 100 hair triggers ready 20 in each color that the karta comes in(or the ULE comes in whatever). Cuz frankly the reason the xmag didn't do as well as it shoudl have was the back order wait on it!

            I think the only E-Mags that have some chance of retaining a decent value are the full-ULE ones. Most of the ones going for <$500 are older (stainless, outdated software).

              LOL they're going to need a lot more than 100 if they want to prevent backorders.

                yeh..i dont think emags can drop much further... the difference between a used emag and a used rt is about $100..which is bogus!

                  I think the fact that the x-mag was done out of the COUTNRY didn't help matters much, either, when it came to availability... The fact that it's being done 'locally' should help that alot.

                      Why are people so worried about the "value" of their paintball gun? Does it matter how much you can sell the thing for when you are lighting up the other team? It's not like it's a House, you are not building equity with a paintball purchase. It's a bit of technology, technology depreciates very very quickly. Do you worry about how much resale value your computer has?

                          Possibly increase resale, my therory is more people will start wanting mags, and some people can't afford the hair trigger so they will just buy an emag.

                            sad news, but I wouldnt sell my emag for 600. The only way someone would buy an emag for that little of money is if it is just a gun. It wont have a tank, drop, barrels (maybe a barrel), or much ups on it.

                            I payed 700 for my emag about 3 months ago, and have put a karta body and rail, a stiffi, and a tank macro, etc. and I have put about 12-1300 bucks into it. Ill be damned if I would sell it for only 700. BTW, mine came w/ a warp, jj edge kit, and some other stuff.

                            I agree w/ the who cares how much its worth. Ive seen emags shoot just as fast as other higher end markers. But, emags arent being made anymore, so that is another reason to keep it.

                            :-D

                              I thought that the hAir was going to have a new name besides "mag". If so, people outside of our knowing won't know the difference.
