Well pay the man for it then!
All markers will lose price as soon as you take them out the box or when new ones come out. Sorry I think that is a stupid idea you have about that.
Look at my one off lazer engraved A Bomb. It absolutely rips, is gorgeos to look at and cost me a fortune to get it done. Whats it worth now? Hardly a thing.
An ETEK will still lose money as soon as they get more popular.
Its the way of the world.
My advice, Pay Ray for the avitar, save your cash and buy that rucksack you made loads of posts on.
Oh and maybe get your dad to ring I Cant Shoot Straight.
I Tried to help you by giving you an option with the rucksack and given you advice here so do me a favour and help my mate out.
Cheers Mate
