I'm not convinced that when AGD dies, It will effect the paintball realm as much as people think it will. automags will be around for a long time as entry level and woodsball markers. AGD died along time ago as far as the speedball community is concerned. There arent many new threads on AO now that have to do with AGD. The ones about automags are dissapearing unless its some 3rd party upgrade or "look at what is new to me/what color should I get".

I can't sell my 03 Cocker (with a few ups) for $175 when the thing cost me $275.

And how long have you had it? Surely you've had more than 100$ use out of it.

How many commodities can you name that retain more than half their NIB price when being sold used.

But a 25,000$ car and try sell it for more than 70% (17500) of it's value the day after you bought it. Ain't gonna happen.

The drop in prices is just the market becoming more saturated and possibly people coming to their senses and evaluating the real value of used equipment.

Do Mags really need saving? Has anyone access to AGD's financial records, and has seen the books showing that AGD is on the verge of financial ruin?

I can say with 99.99% certinaty that TK is a millionaire. I started a thread, maybe a year ago, about the possible profit margins just for classic mags. Hell, there is a 100 dollar difference bewteen what AGD sells x valves at events and on thier website. To state the company is in fincial ruin is silly. My only concern is that it has been alittle to long since we have seen a new prodcut. Hopefully we are not in another period of AGD dormency.

Perhaps AGD is settling in to be a niche company like PPS

That is fine and dandy but AGD has a lot more overhead than PPS.
