I see where he's coming from, but then again, it costs money for the upgrades aswell, and of course, its nice to get abit of profit too, but still, he did the math badly so meh ;P

Also, got my tickets, thanks :D

It really doesnt matter to me what rider-in-black makes out of the sale, its his decision at the end of the day and what he feels is a fair price for his gat, but think of it this way:

For your £15 you have the chance of getting a practically brand new Ego 07 with said up's, delivered to your door 1st class, next day delivery.

Yes ok so he is getting £900 for the marker but he has to pay around 4% paypoo fees on all the £15 tickets he sells + p&p costs, which added to the origional price of the marker set up. Might not be making as much out of it as some think.

My two cents'

He will be making about £830... but dam... £15 for an Ego to one lucky person is tops for them.

Let us know how the ticket sales go, I may help you with numbers... I dont win anything but be nice to get a gun (will be buying one soon)

I'll give you actual figure then shall I?
gun came from dusty (with zick and eyes fitted) - costing me £620
barrel kit and ccu NEW from Eclipse - £178 inc postage (i couldn't get website to take the order i had to do it by phone thus charged for postage...)
spare detents (some used) - £6 (no postage, came with other stuff)
swivel macroline fittings from lump - £10
new length of macroline - had some anyway :)

total cost: £814 (+ a bit of macrolinie...)

total ticket income = £900
paypal fees (3.5% + 20p per ticket) = 73p per ticket = £43.50
special delivery = £20
actual income = £836.50

actual profit = £22.50 (- a bit of macroline...)

so if we want to be really pedantic I can cut it to 59 tickets.......

as i said, i'm not interested in making any money out of this - just what it cost.....

now you know the real numbers - BUY A TICKET!!
