What if AGD shut down tomorrow

[phantomhitman]

that is a great answer mr zupe, as well as a great hint of things.........

You guys are funnie

1) I own the inventory

2) I lease the infrastructure

3) Tom has not yet decided on what he is going to do with the patents and trademarks.

He has taken time away, and I believe he will have more clear vision in the near future
when he returns. There have been talks, but not much progress, I think Tom was a bit burnt out.

I'm sorry I do not have the time to post here often, but I have seem to had the time to stablize the bussiness here. One thing at a time, until the "machine is rebuilt"

Once the "machine is rebuilt", can we expect anything new and exciting? I'd like to see AGD put out another product that we don't need we know, but can't figure out how we lived without it int he first place.

PS: Tom has more posts then him

[jgaudreau]

wouldn't surprise me if one day semi soon it does happen...but it would still be a sad day.

Now what would surprise me is if Tom started another pb manufacturing company and took over the paintball sceen with the next "timmy/DM" type marker.

Dude, didn't you hear? Tom got offered $300,000 a year on a five year contract for Smart Parts.

Zupe... nothing against you man... its just, well to this group you could be the perfect person at what you do, none better.. but TK is a legend... does that bold part by any chance mean what it sounsd like?

No concerns... I'm still happy with what is available, thanks to GA Devil.

[zupe]

And nothing against you either but, this is one of the reasons I do not post often. Too much spin!

I posted what I posted, there is nothing between the lines other than space (and maybe YOUR imagination).

Tom is out of town for a while, he will return TO TOWN in a week or so. Then I may have the opportunity to talk with him some more.

Bye.......

I'm sorry... I don't envy your position in the least from the bit you have told us, it cannot be easy and it cannot be easy having your customer base constantly harp on you for something new, and compare you to someone else. There are certain people, perhaps myself included that see TK as.... well I can only imagine what AGD would have been if TK had researched and designed and someone like Adam Gardner had directed marketing and legal protection. Obviously you have entered a situation that you see a light at the end of the tunnel of, a way to success. I think its out there to, I just admit to having no clue what it is. Good luck, I'm not here to harass you, to even pretend to have a clue what you should do. All I can do is wish you the best of luck in the future, offer you support should the time it be of any use arise, and watch. Its your companies product that will be in my hand at IAO for the owners group - I have faith in AGD and in you, despite what some may think. We trusted TK for all these years to build us markers - his personality, integrity, his love for the game, his intelligence, I trust all of these things enough to trust that you are the right man to lead us into the future.

I like spin, I like pushing buttons, I like getting reactions... its an agressive personality. I acknowledge it is very likely annoying much of the time, but I hope, occassionally, to contribute something of value.

i think all that needs to be done is a decent electro grip (or a cheaper eblade) and mags might gain some popularity[/QUOTE]


WELL IM SURE ALL PAINTBALL PRODUCTS HAVE AN *** OF MARK UP SO ALL THE COMPANIES SHOULD QUIT BEING SO GREEDY AND CUT THEIR PRICES~o wait let me wake up good dream while it lasted

[XSSPL]

If you think about it - the mag design was genius from the start and has been ever improved and tweeked almost to the point of mechanical perfection. What is with this "gotta have something new!! and gotta have it yesterday!!"??

What happened to "aint broke, don't fix it"? This whole "that's so last week" mentality is a societal flaw in and of itself. God forbid you actually have to shoot less than 20 balls a second! God forbid you have to rely on your head for something other than hair fertilizer. What ever happened to strategy and cunning?

This is not a rant against speedball because I actually have begun to really enjoy that form of the sport despite my extreme old school status - lol. Many people have said it before and 10 times as many have argued contrary, but being able to blow 1500 bucks on a freakin' paintball marker will not make you any better of a player. IMO, it makes you more lazy.

What I want to know is... WTF is so special about a hunk of aluminum, circuit boards and valve pieces that makes it worth $1500??!! For 1500 dollars, the SOB should come with a free bottle of cooling ointment... There are vehicles for sale for 1500 bucks!

This is the same with golf for example - for anyone that has ever played - how many hacking, dumbaZZ, couldn't hit a fairway under threat of castration players have you seen with a $500 driver and a $2000 set of irons?? It's the same concept - mags work, work well and work a long time. It's the player that changes the game, not the marker.

Shoot, over the years I spent around 1500-1700 total on the RT Classic with different add on's to its current state. 1100 bucks brand new. 1500 on a super fast marker is a bargin.

[REDRT]

You paid $1100 for just a Classic RT?
