I was looking on AGD's site and Minimags are for sale now. Hopefully never used ones. But look at the price.. Its a bit pricey. Post what you think?

[Maggot6]

yeah, I saw that the other day. I think it is fair enough, considering the pro classic is about $65 less. But I think that it Should have been priced at $245+ shipping etc. And then the pro classic at $210 or so. But it's not my company; and I don't know production costs or anything that is involved.

They'll never sell at that price to anyone outside of AO who really loves mags. Why? Because theres better, less expensive markers out there for under $295!

Hmm, I wonder which marker you are talking about .

[Teamslayer76]

I could say a marker that is better for less price...the pro classic. Its completly set up for cheapre, add a minimag bodie for 10 bucks there you go... A minimag.

[JimmyBeam]

hmm...295? maybe 125 and I would consider it.

Neg. Less.

Let's face it guys,

We won't pay $295 for a new Minimag cause you can get a used one for $100 or less that will work just as well. Be real though, let's say $250 for a brand new minimag is pretty swell. It's cheaper than an A-5, and that is more the market they are aimed at anyhow.

Easy for you to say, when the time comes you wouldn't buy it. In fact, you'd probably pick up a Ion instead.

[Wheelman]

I would, just because.

besides you can get a pf/hl with a reverse valve, and how many of those do you see nowadays? look at it this way, you can spend 300 buck on a gun that may out perfom it, but you're payng for a name. Id rather pay for quality myself, and that 295 bucks will still be working 10 years from now just like new.

that price isn't too outrageous. Yes you can get used ones super cheap now, that work just as well, but thats the beauty of mags.

I remember a few years back, when I bought my first brand new mag (my very first one was used), I paid $285 for a basic mini mag just like that. At least that price is more reasonable, there was a time when the price of minimags was close to $400, on certain bodies on agd's own online store.

[mag88888]

my basic opinion on this is...they won't sell unless the buyer is experienced with mags and actually knows about them. if some random kid surfing the net for guns sees a mini for 295 or or whatever hes no gonna even think about buying them. they look like crap. all basic mags with stock bodies (other than the ULE bodies) look like they suck. they arent attractive at all. they look lame. AGD should spice it up with other colors instead of that droopy gray that comes stock on most the 68's and minis you see.

The average customer wants a balance between expectable quality, features, upgradeability, customization, styling, capabilities, and price.

They want the newest, fastest and shiniest out there. Your right the minimag is none of these, but please don't tell me it can't compete with a tippmann, because your not even in the same price range when it comes to out of the box. Yes they may be better, but thats after several hundred in upgrades. I've owned the low end stuff and wasn't really happy with it as well as the high end and they all just let me down and cost an arm and a leg to fix. Nobody gives a damn about real quality anymore. It's all about tolerances and cycle rates not overall design.

Yes I am an AGD Fanboy, because Tom Knew what he was doing when he built the damn thing. I will swear by my automag when the newest, fastest and shiniest is crapping out on the field. Maybe if you show up to an AO day sometime you'll see why we defend our mags the way we do, it's pretty overwhelming. People say Toms design is dated, I think it was ahead of it's time.

On another note, I am the first in line to see the ION fall to hell due to poor quality, in a $295 package that "outperforms"
