Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't the E-mag/X-mag selonoid go bye bye at 22 bps? And isn't it very hard on the selonoid if you maintain said 22 bps? I thought I saw that info somewhere but maybe not... -

true, but shockers are mass produced and are not as high quality as emags. Emags really havent lost that much resale value in the past year or so. Also, shockers are FAR too common. Its nice to have a rare fast gun that nobody else has. Esp w/ DW bodies, they are so sexy.
Id still take an emag over some of the newer guns out there today.Comment

I think if you don't realize that MOST the high end markers (including shockers and e-mags) lost a lot of value over the last two years you are mistakenOriginally posted by yakitoritrue, but shockers are mass produced and are not as high quality as emags.

From what I've seen from when I started playing (a good two years ago), and when I joined this forum mostly (about a year ago), is that the price has gone down alot. It used to be that you couldn't get a stock emag below $600 or so, and about 7 months ago it was rare to go under $500...but now you can find them for less than $400...i'd say they are definatly loosing resale...probly because they are having trouble selling them. That means price is going down because lack of demand. So that means they will slowly become less, and less expensive, because like someone said about x-mags, they are getting hard to sell because everyone who wants one, has one.Originally posted by yakitoritrue, but shockers are mass produced and are not as high quality as emags.

why thank you for my introduction hoOriginally posted by Major HoDoubtful, There is literally 1 devilmag out to a consumer right now.
i honestly have seen people dumping xmags in favor of newer guns. even the almighty x cannot keep up in todays tourney scene. either people thinks it too slow (that another arguement that im not discussing here), to heavy, too finicky, or people jsut do not want to mess them up.
i hate emags, i really do. and the only thing that keeps me from hating the x is the nice body on it. the devilmag alone is not going to severly hurt the resale, but with mroe competition coming it will. emags have fallen off of the map in resale value, and the x has taken a dip. the is rarer, and obvisously worth alot more so it will never be dirt cheap.
in conclusion i believe devil>e/xmags=mehappier/unhappinessofmewithoutdevilmag. just shoot what you want to people, no single gun ever made will satisfy everyone.

well, a devilmag is extremely competitively priced, and is a great marker.
ule body- 130
xvalve, level 10, ult- ~340
frame- ~175 cuz its custom milled
predator 2- 350
thats like about 1g. however, for 900 bucks, i cant find a better deal. but on the issue of price drops, think about what ur getting for a few hundred more.Comment

ok add up a devilmag and it comes to about 950-1000 bought seperatly now add on a karta(nicest non x body) and it comes in right at about 1150 which is danmed close to the xmag!! its not going to hurt the resale of xmags or emags!! also do realize that the biggest thing that cut the stock emags resale was the introduction of ule!! why buy a heave stainless steel gun when you can have ultralight alluminuim!!VV04962 yeah thats my Pewter CnC X-mag
Looking for a milled 04 featherlight viking!!!
