Personally, I think that the price of o-rings is highway robbery. Why should 10 of the little buggers cost more than $1, let alone $5?!! I know that you can get them cheaper in bulk, but if you're in a pinch, you're left with outrageous prices.

In my opinion, it ranges from paint, to things like triggers.
Why does a Critical trigger cost that much, let alone a rail, or drop foreward? -
Because they (manufacturers) have us by the "balls". We (players) are, unfortunately, willing to pay the outrageous prices."Otaeri wa doko desu ka?"

Eh, from my experience, those Critical triggers are worth every penny.

Paintball pants. Dye wants how much for the C5 pants? $134 at paintballgear. I think markers are ridiculous also. 1350 for a Timmy? You seriously think an Intimidator is that nice and is worth that much? I don't think the craftsmanship is that nice. But then again, Supply&Demand.Dub V

rebuild kits
It's even hard to find rebuild kits (i.e. 90 durometer AGD O-rings) on ebay for a reasonable amount. Can't someone buy all the AGD O-rings in bulk and assemble kits that can be sold for $5 shipped? Yes, AGD does this, but the price is just really high. I can't believe that the wholesale cost is really high on the O-rings.
Here's an idea: Why not give away markers at cost (like an Xbox) and then make all your money on the extras (like Xbox games)?
If my new Tac-One only cost me $200, I could easily justify a $20 O-ring kit every year.
If no one else solves this problem I just might, as I now have 6 automags and access to really good plumbing supply stores.
Anyone know who makes the O-rings for AGD? I'll go there first.Comment

Most over priced is definetly Paintballs. I don't mind paying alot of money for paintball products as long as they last a long time but I do dream of the day when you can get a decent case of paint for $20.

But what I do I do because I like to do.Comment
