i'd have to also agree with lovetone, he does show logic as to why the market is the state that it is it. good few points actually..
Another reason it might be this way is that the market is being flooded with markers, and the demand is not as high so the seller has to make the price attractive to the customer so he will at least get it sold. The sport is not growing as fast in terms of number of players entering the sport and the number leaving allowing for flooding of the market with markers only a year old which would link to the ever so annoying latest new year new product technique used by the paintball companies.
