It's just a bit frustrating to decide to get into the market, find this great forum and see a deal I want but not have the ability to contact the seller. I guarantee it's gone by the time I hit 20 posts.
Personally i would advise taking the time to wait, get more knowledge, go to some games and get hands on before you spend your money

Another way is to buy platinum membership and you get access straight away
Or buy new from the paintball retailers and put your money into the industry
