Curated Paintball

[Pewpewpew]

Just curious as I have recently been stalking anything CCM on ebay… Does curated just pick up markers and strip them into pieces to part for money? Seems as such. I get it if that’s your hustle but seems shameful to me. Any ideas?

[Pewpewpew]

I see there are full markers there as well

you are right on 👍

Ecap said it best:

That dude is like the biggest flipper on the face of the planet, the only thing curated about him is his ability to scumbag people over on other groups and put it right on eBay for twice the price.

That guy would part his own mother for profit.

[Quickling]

There isn’t much love for him on here, but I have bought a number of parts from his eBay account and prices have been decentish and the one error I had was quickly corrected.

[FlightMedic938]

He sells really good stuff. Stuff that nobody else sells. I’ve bought lots from him since getting back in to it a couple years back

[$L!mBo]

What have you seen him sell "that nobody else sells"?

[JonM]

The few things I’ve bought from him were a bit expensive. Although, they were parts that don’t come up for sale very often. In that light, it becomes more of a convenience fee.

I could be way off on this as my memory is shot lately! Wasn't he the one that ended up with all the Angels from the East Coast Angel guy who took in all the guns to repair and never repaired them, then after getting called out shut down his shop and sold all the Angels? If I remember correctly Curated Paintball put them up for sale on eBay and when he was notified, he worked on returning the markers to their owners. If that is the case I would say he is at least somewhat of a decent guy because I assume no one would come after him if he just sold off the stolen markers.

I think scottieb was wrapped up in this (his angel was stolen, and was working with CP to get it back). I can't remember if he ever got it back though.

I believe you are correct about the Angel stuff.

[Ecapnation]

Basically yeah... He gave back what people bitched about but mostly sold off everything

My $.02:

Yes, from Curated I received back just one of the Angels that was stolen by Brad Potter of East Coast Angel. Curated purchased the stolen Angel lot from ECA. I suspect Angels were returned by Curated out of fear of legal action as the thefts are well documented and total tens of thousands of dollars.

Curated cannibalizes markers and price gouges everything he lists. He is not a paintball man. He just tries to make money on paintball.

I’m starting think this guy lives rent free in half y’all’s head. He’s not the first guy to buy low, strip parts and sell high, and he won’t be the last.

[Axel]

You mean he's buying things from our members? What a bastard!

[Ecapnation]

@axel

The thing is I tend to price things here "in the spirit of old MCB".... When people take advantage of that just to relist things on ebay I just raise prices to match and everyone suffers.

[Socalpumpballer]

“Buy low” is debatable. Maybe for stock automags he flips. But I’m not seeing how he’s making any money on the more high end stuff. If someone’s asking $900 for something like an SS25 on here. I’m not seeing how he’s making his money back let alone a profit with by selling each half for $300-400 while eating the eBay fees.

[Axel]

Do we really need to have another thread about Curated Paintball

[mueller]

Maybe just pin it. Free advertising!

[Pewpewpew]

Sorry, didn’t mean to rip the scab off a sore subject. I searched unsuccessfully to answer this question before I posted it, appreciate your responses.

[Chappy]

lol really? If I put curated into our search bar I get pages of results on him.

[Riot]

🤣

[Pewpewpew]

God did not give me my talents with search bars

[Blackmagic71]

Fair

Yes that did happen. So while it ended up good in the end, he also didn't even check on this motherload of angels he got before putting them up for sale.

He runs fast and loose, lots of things get mislabeled and it's clear he doesn't always know what he is selling
