Well the majority of tournies in the UK are BYO wit the exception off the diablo cup (think thats what it was called ) price was around £40 a case I think.....Originally posted by Baca Loco
But it's good.
Actually, what I was curious about was a) price differentials from site to site and event or series and, b) events that require participants use their paint at their prices.
Don't care what everyone's "deal" is nor did I expect anyone to start divulging that sort of info. Know I wouldn't.
For example, IAO has always required you purchase their paint. In the past that was ZAP at $90 a case and this year with Diablo Hellfire was $106.
Musta been a different event then, I know you had to use Diablo, it was at Nottingham.Originally posted by Johan - Endurance

Are you sure? I dont think you realise the economies of scale that certain large firms enjoy. I know how much it costs XXXXXXXXX to make a box of paint and believe me, the profit margin on a box of paint is unreal. I cant think of another product which is made so cheaply and sold for so much. The profit margins are so huge that free paint given to teams is nothing, just a minor marketing cost!Originally posted by Buddha 3
Profit margins on paint are actually quite low compared to 99% of other industries.
