paintballs

[Bolter]

I bought my ego 7 for £170

That is a bargain! You know how much they were new right?

It may be better to start a new thread rather than continuing this on the 'paintball' thread, and to title it regarding the different guns

Ah he's fine, I was FULL of questions once too

I bought an ego 7 two years ago for £100. Are they going up in value?

Not an issue on the questions, just that under the title 'paintballs' the new question may not get everyone's attention

go to your local shop orpay online

If you are referring to buying paintballs as the original question then we've answered that, and it's not necessarily the best answer
Buying online or at a shop may mean you have a big box full of paintballs that you cannot use

I can go to bookers and buy a beer barrel for a bargain price. I cannot then take it to the pub, they won't let me use my own beer, I could drink it at home but I don't have the facilities to run my own barrel

Translate this to paintballs and I cannot bring paint to a punter site, I probably can't bring paint to many events, I don't play on private land
So though I could get very good paint deals along with my team mates, we will usually do that with the providers on site at events

Buying paintballs from anywhere other than in person means you are paying for delivery in one way or another. It will come by courier and the survival of the paint is dependant on the packing and the handling by the courier

Buy in person and you prevent the risk of courier damage but you still have to do the transporting and storage

The question is why do you want cheap paint?
To beat the prices of your local site is impractical - would you be allowed to use it?
For an event etc you can get the best vfm on the day (or preordered) from the site traders

Cheap paint will be 'less good', the only way you will make a significant real saving will be by buying pallet loads


For the cost of paint look up the paintball shop sites, EG £30 or £40 a case

I know I am tempting fate, but I've bought over 40 cases from Just Paintball in the last couple of years in batches of 4, and never had any breaks.
Bought 8 boxes of Marbilizer last week which is fragile, and no breakages.
