how rediculous is this??

That what I would call a "Red neck proshop". I've seen some stupid stuff myself. sometimes the clerk jokes around with me and shows me some of the stuff it would take a total idiot to buy. Anyway I think there are sites that sell mini mags for 500$, I think I've seen it a few times. Try looking for mini mags in the google search you should have no problem finding one for 500 smackerzz.

Yeah, 'cause we all know just how much Tippmanns suck...

hey guys another thing to look at is the fact that the internet companys buy BIG bulk orders.were small shop like the one i work at only gets 2 or 3 of some iteams. I know national paintball they do a price break after 6 items on a few things. But you should all ways support your local shop. Also look at the fact will a internet site give you a year in house warrenty on new guns.

a stock mini mag for $500? that's all I gotta say about that

[mobius]

Well, I paid about $350 for my Minimag used about 4 years ago. Prices drop, life sucks, cope...

The shop owner isn't going to take a loss on the marker. General Accounting practices will dictate that they have already written off the lost value of the asset (or marker in this case). So even if the sold it for $300 they'd see the same margin as if they sold it at $500.

hoyl crap ithought id never hear GAP mentioned EVER beyong accountg 201-202 ..but ya he's right

Ya dude...we read it the first time...but hey sometimes repeating your self gets your point across

If you seriously want to buy the rig, print up some recent pages for new equipment at some web sites, showing the current going value. Ask if will match those prices. He will most likely sell it to you if he knows there is no chance he can get his asking price.

Most of the paintball manufacturers have started price fixing to cope with the big interent retailers. Look at Custom products website they full admit that if you go below 10% of thier msrp you will never buy products from them again.

Why do you think a dm3 cost 825 no matter where your are at on the net. Right now being a local shop i think would be great; your competition online has to sell at msrp (+-10%) and the local shop can undercut them the internet prices so long as they don't print the acutal under msrp anywhere. (that's why you see extras now on the interent; given you a hopper of free next day air shipping)

Hypothetical Local store owner says to a customer: "tell you what; I'll sell you that dm4 on the wall there(points one of the dust colored ones) for 1200 if you buy it right now."

The only thing saving the interent stores is that you don't have to pay taxes on big ticket items.
I have 7% sales tax in my town; thats 70 bucks if i buy a 1000 dollar marker if i bought it locally.
just some food for thought:
