Most outrageous price for an air fill?

[Pha|anx]

Recently one of my local stores charged me 13$ to fill my 68/45 and, if I remember correctly they only filled it to around 3500-4000psi. The same tank that had been purchased at full retail price from the aformentioned store. Needless to say I never dealt with them again.




Just curious to see how bad I got ripped off....

nevermind that these stores have to make enough money cover overhead, and if they're luck some profit

I have two other local stores that fill nitro one charges 4$ and the other 6$. The "13$ store" just happend to be on my way that day and I didn't bother to ask the price of filling the tank.

I have always defended the need for profit, but $13 for an air fill is getting to the point of ridiculous.

The only way I could see a price like that is if it was an "all event" fill for something that lasted a few days

[zackzel]

yeah thats a bit rediculous, the place I usually go to charges 3 for a fill regaurdless of size and 5 for all day air. I have never heard of more then like 6 for a fill though, thats pretty bad.

When I play paintball at my local field, I pay $10 for an entry fee and all day air. When I am not playing, but just get a tank filled, I pay $3, $13 is way to expensive for 1 fill. I understand proshops need to make money, but there is a line between making money and ripping people off.

I've been a few places that charget $1 per 1000 PSI. Not good when you use a 45ci tank and a gun that is a bit of an air hog.

Same w/ me. Maybe this guy's costs for renting out the building are astronomical. I went to a place that sold crappy zap econo paint for $100 a case and that was his excuse.

the fields i play at charge 10 for all day air or 5 for one fill. and 20 for all day admission.

[Cow hunter]

place where i go they charge based on how well they know you..... anywhere from $1 to $7 and i have a 48/3000.... have to memorize peoples shifts to get a good price.... personally i think this is totally ridiculous

[WenULiVeUdiE]

The worst I have had to pay was $2 per 1000 psi.

WOW

Jeez man... I hope you got some sucky sucky with that 13 dollaz

During winter when i don't play very much and just shoot some air every now and then. The shop by me costs 10 to fill a 68/45

I live on a remote island and the only shop fillled my 92/45 to 4000 psi and charged me $15. They charged my friend $13 for a 72/3k fill. Now I bought fill station and each fill costs less and less. I am now down to 13$ per fill. It will keep getting lower and lower the more I fill
