Is it just me or do the likes of lips, Bz, Pheonix not go out their way to offer paint at a really good price with next to no profit on a box at events like the Masters etc. This kind of buying is going to kill trade stands, sponsors etc etc. I for one if I was a trade stand would not buy from a supplier if they offered paint at a price below what they sold it for to an end user.

Support the trade stands they keep you going when the shizzle hits the fan at an event !!!

I agree entierly with shad, every one knows that there isnt much money in paintball so we should support those who try to actually make a living from it.

problems with this

I have read this pallet of paint offer , and noticed that although it sound like a good price for those that pay full wack for paint, when you actually sit down and work out after shipping of 10 cases you will probably be paying what trade stands etc are selling it for.

Infact you would probably pay less from a trade stand at an event, if you all live within a 10 mile radious of this guy then bargain go for it.

My other problem i see with this is, when sending via and sort of courier potential for damaged paint is put highly at risk.

Not trying to put a downer on this offer, but i see it flawed with problems.

As far as I'm aware, the point of this multi buy is to support the shops by buying in bulk from them in return for them to slightly reduce their margin, not to buy from the supplier. Surely you would need a trade account to be able to do that????
There's no way that paintball shops don't make money on boxes of paint, the space/conditions needed to store it and the price to get it delivered to store wouldn't make it cost effective.
Let's all face it, money talks and nobody turns down a good deal.
