Two trailers were stolen.

I did the math- at say a conservative $40 per case, that equals $200,000. Damn that's a lotta money.

It is going to be a pain to sell that, I would think.

Just keep your eyes open for mystery boxes with $500 US Ground shipping.

Ifn it where me I would find a nice Canadian retailer and work with them. Even at say 20% of the cost + Gas to get it there thats a nice chunk of change for both parties.

Thats cost to fields and players, actually KEE as well as most other paint is made for less than the cost of the box.

Are you saying the cost for Kee to make the paintballs is less than what it costs them for the box? If so, get a grip on reality.

I should have restated that: They cost more to make the paint, but since they have had the facilities to make it for so long now they can make it very cheap. I talked to Bill Bailey and a bunch of the boys at the BE paint supplier in Joplin, most paint is like 75% or more profit after the facility to produce it is paid for.

It's possible its BS, I am aware.

My vote is Mob.
Plenty of them in FLA.
Well known to jack TT-units/trailers.
Have the contacts to diffuse ANY large quantities of ANYTHING into blackmarket circulation. They used to do it with raw shrimp and all sorts of other things in the northeast.

5000 cases...easy enough to distribute by splitting into smaller parcels, then hitting up smaller businesses/fields throughout the country (who are constantly struggling to meet a profit margin against the big online retailers.) The paint will keep decent, long enough to redistribute over a couple months. And, they probably won't even know (or maybe, care) that the paint is hot.

As for the trailer....it's amazing how many stolen ones are constantly crossing back and forth across the country. A little paint, a pop-riveter, and some used or manufactured ID plates...voila. Or, crush and salvage...gonzo.

All I noticed was the caption on the link "Website for the paintball adict" YEAH RIGHT. This (MCB) is the Website for the Paintball Addict, heck we've even named the addiction.
