I thought the Rotor new was already at $150? An extra $10 isn't going to kill the bank. It sucks, but nothing too big since you're already paying $150 for a friggin' hopper.........

Why? The Rotor is class leader. They don't have to compete on price, as they outcompete on performance.

Without giving you the detail I can tell you the margin of profit on all paintball gear pretty much blows if you are reseller.

After shipping and everything the hoppers along with all other accessories generally have a pretty slim profit on them.

thats debatable (yes, i own a rotor). i still say the market is split 50/50 when it comes to hoppers.

I believe that completely. I just have an inkling that Dye's own margin is very, very high.



edit: it wouldn't be MCB without someone, apropos of nothing, bragging about how much he prefers pump

I dont understand how any one can justify paying 160 for a barrel?

My carbon fiber with full insert kit I bought for 100 and I thought that was expensive..
