Is Agd Going Bankrupt?

[Lohman446]

tippman has walmart lol agd does not actually unless you have seen a mag you prolly have never really heard of them thats

Considering AGD was one of the two BIG companies in the 90s I have a hard time beleiving that as many people have never heard of them as is rumored... I think thats an AO myth.

That being said - the neat thing about niche companies is you do nto have to sell a million units to succeed. You might measure success in something other than $$ but you can have sucess

i have heard several rumors from dealers down here that have claimed that agd was going out of business and i was curious if there is any truth to this

JoAnn who worked here for what, 13 years?, said that this rumor had been going on almost as long as she had been here. I've been here over four years and have been fielding this question the whole time.

Those dealers may honestly have heard the rumor from someone else but have they bothered to check it out? No - they'd rather talk you into buying a marker they already have in stock. Maybe one that you'll have to replace again next year. Okay, I said MAYBE. I swear some of these dealers must have been saying this same thing for the past 12 years or so, too.

I haven't missed a paycheck and neither has anyone else here.

Course if anyone wants to help out, the thing to do would be to go back to a dealer who has rumorized us and say "Well, AGD is doing just fine and since you don't sell their stuff, I won't be shopping here for my marker after all."

When I first got into paintball, it wasn't until 4 years of playing that I finally saw an Automag or heard of one. All my buddies and I used the Tippmann flatline and when one of our friends felt like we needed to have our asses handed to us, he pulled out the Automag .

I've met plenty of people who don't know what the hell my gun is, but then again most seem like they are relatively new/young compared to those who do know.

I'm gotta remember to take a tour when I'm back in Chicago.

not trying to piss anyone off.....

i have owned 3 mags and swore by them for a long time..............and still do for a woods ball gun im just trying to get to the bottom of the rumors that i have heard about the company that really got me in paintball

[peewee]

I guess I am lucky in a way. I live in one of the automag strongholds two of the three local shops usually have mag parts on hand at all times. Both store owners are mag users & owners.

Well, I visited AGD a week or two ago (I only live an hour away) and I met the secretary, the president, and the guy in the back. So it's not like there's a lot of overhead to maintain .

Oh god. Not this.

Amen to that.

I believe that they still have that Leprechaun locked up in the basement, he is the true driving force monetarily & he provides the "magic" that makes the mag work....... If AGD was to go under they would be straight up with everyone & announce it. Bankruptcies are public record so if they had filed it would be fairly easy to find.

Has EVERYBODY forgotten about the magical elves?!? Jeeeeeeez...

If I won the lotto I'd probably donate some money to AGD and/or buy them the rights to make electros from SP. Lol, seriously. But they're doing fine right now. They are selling the stuff that they make. That's all that matters. I'm just saying, if I won the lotto I'd donate tons to AGD's R&D lab hehe. WHEN that heppens, just name a product after me guys... something like, "The Pete-Mag" hehe.

its not like Paintball is all they do guys....

[riooso]

I, like many people, hope not! I have noticed a lot of NEW Mags at the field I play at. I think that when the rubber meets the road most people, that do not play speedball, look at mechanical markers and come to the Mag conclusion. They are just "I get to play paintball today" reliable. I read a post a long time ago from Tom where he stated that they could do well just from the replacement and upgrade parts.

Sssh... the gnomes are asleep and we're stealing their closed bolt range!

going bankrupt and going out of business are 2 totally different things.

I highly doubt AGD has any outstanding debt so I doubt bankruptcy is in their future unless they really decide to do some massive "new" product line
