    The rundown of my addiction

    I've spent $1600 to date total ending up with a Classic Mag ($200 new), Micro Phantom ($200 new), Pneumatic RPG Automag ($600 new), and FSP Viking ($800 street) so I'd say that all my gun whoring has broken out even. Plus, considering that I dropped about $600 of that total cost into milling and anodizeindg for guns along the way and it makes the actual marker cost only about $1000

    Here's the progression of marker owner ship for me. It goes in order of what markers I owned at a given time and the cost is in parentheses. Just assume that when markers dissappears, they were traded for the following markers.

    Kingman Hammer II
    Kingman Hammer II + BE Blade II
    ------(6 year break)------
    Spyder Shutter
    68 Automag Classic
    Xvalve'd Powerfeed Automag
    Xvalve'd Powerfeed Automag and Dragunfire LCD
    ------(2 year break)------
    Pneumatic Automag (made from Xvalve'd mag)
    Pneumatic Mag + Micromag
    Pneumatic Mag + Fully Upped ION
    Built Aug. MOTM Pneumag (Black Widow)
    Black Widow Pneumag + Custom ULE Emag
    Black Widow Pneumag + Custom ULE Emag + Kingman Hammer II
    Black Widow Pneumag + Custom ULE Emag + Beater Phantom
    Black Widow Pneumag + Classic Automag + '03 Viking
    Black Widow Pneumag + Classic Automag + '03 Viking + Micro Phantom
    Black Widow Pneumag + Classic Automag + '03 Viking + Micro Phantom + '04 Viking
    Copper Karta Emag + Classic Automag + Micro Phantom + '03 FSP'd Viking
    Classic Automag + Micro Phantom + '03 FSP Viking + '07 RPG Paradigm (pneumatic) <---- At Present

    Total # of ownership combination throughout ---------------------18 combinations
    Total # of different markers owned --------------------------------21 markers
    Marker per year ratio (10 years) -----------------------------------2.1 markers/year
    Etsimated final value ------------------------------------------------$1600
    Annual marker budget avg------------------------------------------$160/year
    Becoming an avid tech whore----------------------------------------PRICELESS

        but I've only used 11 of the 21 markers in actual games. And only fired 17 of the 21.
        The rest were either sold off for a quick profit or just never used.

        At this point I'm very confident I'll be holding onto the the Viking and RPG mag for a long time. I've been eyeing pumpmags and VSC phantoms for a while... and I'll never have to use the 68 Classic with a mag/vike combo as my primary.

        /God I'm such a whore.

          Although I have a leg up on all you whores....

          My fiance's mom is an executive at FedEx Logistics. She ships my packages for $3 ground shipping anywhere irregaurdless of size/wieght .
          That means I can ship up to 75lbs of crap for $3.

          If you think a marker is about $15 to ship and you ship 10 of them that $150 you'd pay and $30 I pay.

            I always use flat rate shipping... it's just so much easier. Priority flat rate = 8$ and gets there in 2-3 days. Best and cheapest way to do it.

                  Sigh. Someone just used that wannabe word "irregardless".

                  IRREGARDLESS IS NOT A WORD!

                  That being said, nice E-Mag Micro.

                    Good to know that somone of Tom's status seeks "relief" from a sport he helped create. A sport now ruled by a single patent.

                      wow, now i feel stupid. I thought mags and pumps were your markers of choice, maybe it's jsut because you have WAY TO MANY!!! ... I'll take some of those markers off your hand if you ever get bored with them.

                      Oh, and add 1 to my list. All custom DM5 (and possibly a SC sniper within the next few days as well)
