[QUOTE=Fubarius;1018008]Here's something though, if there were no issues, why the 5 different egos? Wouldn't the first one have been fine? The closest thing to a near "perfect" stock gun I've owned was my Viking (needed only feed neck, barrel, and tank mounting device of my choice). I've only ever bought one since any other one bought would just be the same. Any improvements that have been developed lately (millings, anno's, boards, valves, etc) can be applied to my original if I so desire.

Oh, many were released just to jump on the bandwagon of the market of the time, can't deny that. Though I find it funny that now DYE apparently makes the 'best' regulator out there.[QUOTE]

Its called the economics of the sport. If you can buy a gun for less than market, use if for an entire year and the resell it for nearly the same as you paid for it, why would you not do it ? Its like buying a car, putting 10000 miles on it and then trading it back in for the same amount you paid for it. Many of the guns I purchased, I fully intended to flip. Some I kept longer than others. I dont think I have gone to the bank account for anything paintball other than airfare in the last 5 years. Its the same money that keeps getting laundered every time.

I also have no interest in a $1500 gun that will cost me $1500. I would rather wait and buy the same gun for half about a year later from some LFK.
