| Well, it depends on what you're asking for I suppose. There are lots of little odds and ends of paintball arcana floating about and it's tough to find experts on many of them. On the other side of the coin, some things are so common that it's tough to price them other than "it's worth what someone will pay". It could also be that the first response is pretty accurate and people don't want to post-whore with a thread full of "I agree"s. I'd rather only get one response than 10 which were all over the board.
Maybe instead of an appraisal section, Carter could expand the Blue Book with a way to submit (anonymously without seller/buyer info) price paid for a particular marker. Obviously gets weird with things that are heavily customized, so perhaps there could be a box for price, and a scale of 1 to 4 going from "bone stock" for minty stuff to "barely recognizable" for things that have had almost all the factory parts replaced, been milled/dremeled/whathaveyou? |
