Not just A1s,there are a steady stream of DM7 and ego 7s,I think the market is at saturation with 101 different guns to shoot 15 bps.The other thing is that there are only probably a couple of thousand tournament players around and god knows how many markers in circulation.

The amount of players who seem to be hanging up there boots is also going to compound the problem as even more used gear is chucked onto the boards.

The huge number of 2nd hand markers seems to be a combination of sponsored teams getting things at way below retail and a constant stream of new marker releases with only minor tweaks over previous models.

The Angel 1 isn't alone - there has been an flood of Ego 07s recently. Everyone snapped them up when they were released but now the SL74 is out, everyone wants that.

I can't see it lasting - manufacturers are killing the resale value of their products which is making them less attractive as new purchases.

In the meantime it's great news for 2nd hand buyers - nearly new Angel 1s for under £400 have to be one of the bargains of the year, I'd be buying if I didn't have one already!
