    [QUOTE=Hexis]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?/QUOTE]

    the reason why im concerned what its worth is because im considering selling mine and you dont want to get less money for your product. therefore the value is very important because if i sell it sooner (before the release of the hAir) i might get more money for it.

      Like any bit of technology, it's going to depreciate. So in general the sooner you sell it, the more you will be able to get. Fixating on the decrease from the hair trigger is short sided, there are many other factors that will decrease it's resale value.

      Techie toys are the suck like that.

        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'm in the same boat as you, I payed about $750 for mine last month and I have a Rogue Neck and ULE Rail lined up, and I might be giving it my RT's X Valve when it gets back from Tuna. I really don't care how much it depreciates in value, as I plan on keeping this gun for a good while, even if it becomes a backup in the future.

          You guys paid ovr $700 for your Emags? I hope they weren't used, because if they were, you really got ripped-off!

            But also keep in mind that mine came with a brand new charger, ULE body, as well as the ULE grip frame.

              Wow.. this is a first... I agree with Leo. I need to go drink this icky feeling away...

                wtf? show me anyone selling a full ULE emag for less than 700. I think emags have pretty good resale, ULE's.

                  Alot of outside people won't know the value of any mag. The highest you can ever sell them for are here, where people know their mags. And a full ULE emag would go for over $700, but here only, not at PBN or anything.


                  I do know the AO sig rules, I just want a free sig pic, that's all! :mad:

                    uh, ya. I gave 700 shipped for mine. It came w/ a charger, a 12v warp feed, 12v revy w/ xboard, hoses w/ disconnects, jj edge kit, lvl 10, blade emag trigger, stock trigger, 3.2 software, and a NW quick disconnect for my tanks.

                    I think 700 was a good deal for what I got. After that, then I payed for the karta body and ULE karta rail, rogue feedneck, and ano on the body and my trigger for about 350. then a stiffi and the tank. So that adds up to 700+350+89+200 = 1339

                    Im pleased w/ mine, and Ill bet that if I started a thread for it I could trade it for one of the higher end markers.

                    But, since it is my favorite marker, I think Ill keep it. :-D

                    Emags still rule.

                      I agree, I own a full ule emag (which im very proud of ) and i would not sell it for less than 700 anywhere else except for here, where only the trained eye's here at AO know the real value of it, cause this aint no regular emag, it might have an extra .8 edge on the 3.2 emags
