Not to pile on the pick on price train, but this is where my head went when I read this.

This is the dumbest post I’ve read on here in a while. Granted, I don’t pop on here much. Did you legitimately think Tom Kaye still ran AGD and they still had a actual company headquarters and manufacturing facility like they did over twenty years ago?
Like others said, “AGD” is a basement side hobby for Sandman, who runs a full time field, and thank God he gives a rats ass about mags enough to even try to get these limited runs of parts made for the community. If it wasn’t for him we’d be just like any of the countless brands and and markers that are literally dead tech because you can’t get new replacement parts for anything, and have to scavenge.
Geez, I wonder why AGD doesn’t invest a few million in R&D for exciting new innovations? Jesus, dude….

Regardless, the interest in the possibilities in the sport and equipment is reminiscent of what drives the sport forwards. The market analysis is... lacking. That's often the case until someone has real shop experience (and/or has taken some good micro economics courses), and can differentiate between the cost to make 10 of a thing versus 10,000 of a thing.
I'm over here trying to teach my son about the intrinsic value of a hammer versus a Pokemon card, and why one costs more, even though the other is more useful, but that doesn't stop me from being excited about this insignificant niche sport/ hobby that lives and dies with the strength of the upper middle class economy. It's a fun intellectual exercise to cut through the boredom of paying bills.
Price, if you're reading this, just remember nobody's going to spend money they don't have to make something people won't buy. And very few people will (knowingly) spend money they do have on something that won't make them at least break even. So if a guy is supporting the sport and hoping to just break even, it's probably not wise to insult him publicly. But, if you want to throw your hat in the ring to help the sport, you'll get a "thank you" even if the product doesn't make you rich. The trick is finding unfulfilled need, creating value from nothing (e.g a functional part from a lump of metal), instead of extracting value from the process (i.e. being the middleman or, worse, a scalper).

First, I've not replied to anywhere near all of your post, only to some of your more recent drivelings. I'd like to introduce you to the concept of "garbage in, garbage out". After watching earlier post of yours where others here offered you damn good advice, which you blew off, and typically followed with worthless Grant Cardone quotes, I've come to believe that you might just be a troll. It's also possible that these post are the ramblings of an intoxicated person. It's also been posited that you might be on the autism spectrum. Who really knows, it may be some combination of all of the above, and maybe more. Don't really care. You keep making these post, and people keep offering good advice, which you keep blowing off. After a while I just figured I'd interject some lighthearted comedy, primarily aimed at the thought that these were the post of an intoxicated person. You're right, my few previous replies to a small number of your post have been "garbage out", as all you've managed to do is put "garbage in".
I find it funny that you claim that I've "never said something worthy of reading" in response to a reply from me in which I actually gave you serious advice. As usual, you can't see it, as you've never seen the good advice numerous others on here have given you. I also find it funny that me telling you that Grant Cardone is a fraud, which he very much so is, is what finally set you off. Obviously this struck a nerve. Dude, don't idolize false prophets (I understand this phrase evokes religious connotations, but my use is strictly secular). Grant Cardone is a fraud who makes money off fooling gullible rubes into believing he has the secret to "success", and he's willing to share it with you, for a price. He's a fraud like the many that have come before him, and the many that will come after him. If you live according to his garbage, you're not living your own life. Price, live your own life. Anyone who tells you that they know the secret to "success", especially those who only offer it for a price, is lying to you. At best, they might know their secret/path to "success", but that is almost definitely not going to be your secret/path to "success". The world is gray, and there is no one way. Anyway, the truth is, many "successful" (I'm using quotes, as truthfully most people are successful in some way, but often when using the word "successful", people are implying rich and/or famous) people got there by methods outside of their actual control. Many rich/famous people are only rich/famous because they were born into it, simple as that. Others were lucky enough (only using "lucky" for lack of a better word, as luck is not quantifiable) to be in the right place/business/field at the right time. The idea that hardwork, "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps", and "believing" (which is basically all the garbage spewed by charlatans like Grant Cardone boils down to), is all it takes to be rich and/or famous, aka "successful", is nothing but a myth. Most people are already doing all of the above, and while they are successful in their own ways, they'll never be "successful". Even if you are "successful", guess what, we all die alone, and you can't take "success" with you to the abyss that is nothing. Even most of the "successful" will be all but forgotten in a couple of generations, and likely completely forgotten given enough generations.
Anyway, there is a lot more I would like to put here, but honestly I'm not feeling motivated enough to continue. I'm not going to ignore you, as ignoring people is not my modus operandi. In my three decades connected to the internet, being a member of various "communities", operating in various roles, have I ever once ignored someone. Keep your $5 and actually do something.I can haz feedback?

Oh, and by the way, Grant Cardone is a FRAUD, and the only people who don't see it are the gullible rubes that he milks to support his lifestyle. He lives like a king off their money, while they get poorer and poorer by giving him their money, with the foolish belief that any day now they too will live like him. They won't, and you'll be no different. Obviously me speaking the truth about Grant Cardone is what is really triggering you, as I'm not the first to offer you constructive criticism, which you always ignore. However, I am the first to go all out and call Grant Cardone the piece of shit he really is. You obviously don't like that, as you've drunk the kool-aid, and he's now your god. To him though, you're nothing but a useful idiot that he cares so little about that he wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.I can haz feedback?

Imma be honest. These Price threads are wild, but I actually like them. At least someone is still trying to break into the paintball market. I sometimes question the market he's trying to corner, but the hussle is real.
What really fascinated me was his attempt to offer organizational services, if I recall. What was it, sorting and organizing parts? I can't quite remember. But the dude tried to find a niche to fill and made an effort to fill it. Sure, we may not be the market, but the grind was there and I can't help but to respect that. Same with the avatar creation. I tried something extremely similar back in the halcyon days of custom signatures and avatars. I'm annoyingly good at MS Paint and tried to make a few bucks with that. Almost worked too!
Thaaaaaat said, be super mindful about whichever "self-help guru" you choose to give your own hard earned money to...

I bet price could actually build one of these markers if he hasn't already given all the money to Grant Cardone
Price how's that "success" going for you so far? Have you actually made any money since you started buying into grants crap?
For all we know you don't actually own any paintball gear, unless I've missed it you have never posted anything saying you do own something already. Certainly no actual photos.
My big question, that I know you can't answer, if Grant is so successful, why does he have to charge for his advise?
And are those seminar tickets more or less than the price of a resurrection?
