Alot of folks that live pay check to paycheck they must have to sell blood now to outpace gasoline prices?

Fun, as with everyone else price goes up pay stays the same. And paintball profit margins are still going down(I got an interesting e-mail from Virtue that sparked that one.

With a lot of the gear now with ****ty resale and pretty much being throw away the next year, its no wonder the pb sales are down. Sppedball and the growing market of scenario play will continue to level out paintball until everyone supprts more scenario based paintball. The field that does scenarios i go to alot cleared well over 100,000 on paint alone last game.

If their were more companies like airgun and tippman there would be no rush to by the new slightly body changed supergun.

I think they are at the point now that upgrades = new chip, to me i like guns i can fully build from a wide array of parts. changeing the color scheme of guns with accent kits is just bullsh$t

enough ranting and i think i missed the point of the thread.

I sure hope not, us low paid individuals would have a hard time with that kind of price jump.

yeah he said with the drought (sp?) and the gasoline price for delivery to and from the dairy and to the store.....Hopefully not, my wif eand little baby drink that stuff like its going out of style for strong bones and healthy smiles.

I found it odd when i worked at saralee that we had to eat the cost of the inflation cause you cant just increase bread drastically to compensate.
