My BST rant.......

[coreyander]

heres the latest and greatest in rants...


Um....I want to buy your gun, and its wednesday, and I havent sent payment, but I want it by this weekend......

now how in the hell is someone gonna contact you about buying a piece of equipment (esp when you can only do a money order) and expect to get the part in 2 days?

Ive gotten that w/ like most of my equipment that I have posted for sale lately.

My brother bought an R/T off ebay 2 weeks ago.

He wrote the guy 7 times asking for a tracking number,... heres what the guy sent him for a reply:

"I dont have a tracking number for you. I dont have a tracking number for you because the gun has not shipped yet. I dont send the gun because you have not given me a shipping address to send it to yet."

My brothers reply:

"I paid with a Buy It Now option and you REQUIRED the use of paypal. The address was written on the paypal receipt under shipping address and the notes section as well. Since this is your 138th ebay item bought or sold, I am taking it as you should know better.

Congratulations! You now have negative feedback and your old R/T!"

Negative feed back on forums should be like a 1 week ban or something.

1. Pro mojo or owned? I dont care who owned it, bulldogged it, or scratched it up, it doesnt make it worth more money.

Actually, most pro markers are hand-built and tuned... it does make a difference...

2. Whats w/ all these sellers thinking a mini is worth 500 because its not easy to get (well they are available now, but I saw that a lot recently).

Supply + Demand... same thing with the Xbox360's and PS3's

3. Its not 1 of 1 or "custom" when all you have done is swapped parts w/ someone.

How is it not 1 of 1? Technically all guns are 1 of 1 because they all have different serial numbers :P

4. Trades: must be heavily in my favor, only Im asking for CRAZY HEAVILY in my favor 2 4 1s, etc. Ive seen some crazy trade rules.

Maybe they don't want to trade, mainly looking to sell, so they'll only trade if it's heavily in their favor

5. I have seen a thread w/ someone selling a DM6 for 500, so thats what ALL DM6s are worth. (gotta love that one)

Market value of guns goes down every-time someone sells it for way less than it's worth, I can find a lot of dm6's for 500-600

Meh...

if pro markers are hand built and tuned.......then how are the rest of them done?

My point being that say they're building an intimidator.

They'll take a handful of rams (5-10 maybe) and check which one fits best and moves the smoothest...

Other guns are just put together... they work, but may not work as good
I've owned pro-built guns, there is something about how it's put together...

Some companies are different but I know Bob Long and Dye spend a lot more time building guns for the pro teams than they do the normal guns.

wow...hmm...sounds like a HUGE improvement.

Have you shot one and compared it to a stock gun?

No.

Thanks.
