I remember once upon a time, camo was "teh ghey" (as PBN would describe it), well now it's the newest hip thing to do to your gun and your headband or w/e it is nowadays. The main reason I quit paintball is from the weird feeling you get when you go to the field with a bunch of bad *** 13 yr olds with these headbands and towels stuffed in their pants.
      headbands and towels are not the same thing as hype. And hype has not destroyed the paintball community. Why so pessimistic. Nothing has destroyed the paintball community. There may be some things that are not good for paintball in your eyes, but that doesnt mean the paintball community has been destroyed by ppl w/ headbands, and towels in their pockets. I personally wear a tournaquet, and sometimes a bandana in my pocket, but I use it to clean my gogs, and my gun between matches. And my headband has a purpose too besides just looks. I wear a proflex w/o a visor so my forehead would be exposed w/o the headband. It keeps from getting welts on my head. Is that detrimental to the sport?

      Nothing is ghey in paintball. If ppl want to wear cammo and shoot guns w/ stocks and AK47 magazines on them, so be it. Let them do what they want. Its not my style of paintball, but I dont see paintball as a war game. I see it as a sport. Its more like playing tag, but w/ paintballs. To each their own, but paintball is not "headbands/bandanas vs. cammo and milsim guns. Stop hating the other side.

          If someone wants to pay $100 for something, its worth $100.

          Now, would I spend my money there...
          God....I guess I was probably returning videotapes.

                There's about equal hype... just about different things.

                Ya. kthx.

                  Its a jersey from some guy off HK (which i still dont understand) This guy wants a 100 bucks for a jersey. I dont get it its just a jersey isnt it? Its got someones name on it, who cares.

                  Its amazing how lame people get to have a jersey that has a name on it, especially for 100 bucks. There is like nothing special about it either, looks like a jersey to me.

                  Dont people just want to play these days without all the "agg"?
                  Whats the difference between charging 100 for a jersey or 1000 bucks for a mineral called gold, its just a mineral isn't it? If people are willing to pay, others will sell.

                      I dont know if that made much sense but ok.


                      and the hole level 10 thing, i dont have one or a mag lol i just like this forum alot. I dont see the level 10 as that much hype being it actually works like that. I dont see many people with the level 10 strutting around saying that either. Kids with 20000 dollar guns are the ones who brag about thier "gat" that shoots "darts" and all that stuff.

                        Then why charge $150 for an aluminum tube?! If they got charged alot for them, then they got ripperd off!

                            But it's not a pro players jersey. Only a die hard AO'er would buy that. Legacy is.

                              Not only Pro, but NXL. I think Legacy jerseys will be worth more. I know my infamous jersey is worth more than 100, maybe even more than 200.

                              There are only 2 of these jerseys, I have one of them Andy Kopcok has the other.
