If WDP, SP, etc. only came out with a new model once a year, people would not be selling their guns so rapidly, and the 2nd hand market would not be drowning in guns 3-6 months old.
last i heard SP brought out the shocker in 03 (few miner changes since) nerve in 04 (few miner free upgrades since) Ion 05 and now the SP-8

a few custom Shockers in between like Dynasty, Strange, Ton Tons etc

but where are the markers brought out every few months by SP???? coz i want to sell all my markers to buy one

" just cos they bring out a new gun it does not mean you need to run out and buy the new one!!!
if you do you are partly to blame for the constant flow of guns coming from WDP(and any other companies), companies know if they make a new model there are planty of gun whores out there who will bitch and whine all the way to the ATM's about the cost of the new gun they HAVE to buy so they can say they have the latest blingest all singing all dancing mowing machine.

so what the gun is nearly the same as a previous model who cares.it looks good and it spits paint out faster than you can pull the trigger, but you will still wannna spend a few hundred putting a pointless things on it to make it fire faster or at a lower pressure or just cos you can.

quit your constant ****ing complaining if you dont like it dont buy it!!!!


YOU DONT HAVE TO BUY ONE!!!!!"

)i posted this a few months ago (06 speed pre release i believe same applies now keep your £1000 gun untill it dont work or cant be fixed, if you CHOOSE to upgrade for no reason other than there is a neew shiny model with a go faster stripe you best be willing to part with your pride and joy for shirt buttons!!!

and yes it's becoming like the mobile phone market!!
i upgrade my mobile every six months at a cost of £100-150 just for the upgrade fee then the cost of the phone, i sell my old phone for 50-100 but you dont see me complain about it infact i quite enjoy haveing the newest and latest phone
in the past 5 years i have upgraded my phone at least a dozen times so the upgrade fees alone have been over a grand

if you choose to do it dont bitch about re-sale prices if you have to buy a better gun buy secondhand and reap the benifits of the muppet gun whores!!

There is both side to argue,fair enough about more angels than people on the planet, but they are making there money who cares, if we were in there shoes with all the little people out there queuing up to buy it would you sell it ? Of course. as for the second hand market, it is pure economics and that will never change nor will the way people on these boards work, there will be balers who have the money to buy what they want and sell it at a loss, I have gone through 10 or 12 gats this year coz I need to no, coz I want to. I love the sport and love the stuff that comes with it as do you all. So it’s a buyers market. its like walking into tescos and the first thing you see is blab la for 99p do you need it no. but its on offer so you will buy it, same as buying gats,some of us like to. Go and get a bargain,
So keep selling them cheap and there will always be some one who will go “I haven’t
Tried that gat yet “and buy it
And as for

I am going to start offering a deal to people. If you need money in a hurry drop me a line. I will buy your kit off you at a stupid price and give you the option to buy it back for the same money 1 month later when you have another pay check in.
if you can't or don't want to then I will sell your stuff on, for whatever I can get for it and if its more than what I paid so be it. I make a profit, you get pulled out of a hole, and stuff no longer gets sold on to all the scrotes for half their moneys worth, therefore the rest of the scrotes don't see it, and prices stay at a reasonable level!

Top idea, but you run the risk of someone going give me £100 for this I need to pay the rent, and you ending up with 30 or 40 gats sat in your home, and loads of people owing you money ?

nobody will owe me any money. after one month without exception markers will be sold on. or they pay the money i am owed and get their markers back, simple.

I don't have a limitless amount of money and so will eventually have to say "no" to someone! plus it would be my money on the line so i could pick and choose who and what and where and when so to speak.

eg someone pms me and says he/she has 3 infernos and needs £50 for the sweets, it simply isn't going to happen.

someone who says, i have the rent to pay, need £150 and have a dm4/5/6/ego/whatever then that shouldn't be a problem. nobody will be allowed to use me to buy the marker they can't sell to anyone else.
