^www.kbb.com

Acts as a guide to help determine the market value of used vehicles.

As far as paintball guns... way too many makes and models are released every season, and way too many variables for determining value. I don't see how it would be worth someone's while to tabulate such a database.

Nice idea though! It might prove handy to those in the used equipment market... but would probably be too much work to create to be worthwhile.

That's really an awesome idea. That'd be real helpful for people who don't want to be screwed over in the used paintball department. You should start a Kelly Blue Book of Paintball. Now.

Last weekend, some kid at my local paintball field was trying to pawn off a used '05 ProStock autococker for $350 when i know you can find them knew online for less than 300.

A new one would have to come out every couple of months, pay attention to the pbn b/s/t forums and you'd see what I mean.  Resale/trade value goes down in leaps and bounds depending on what markers/upgrades are being releases across the market.

or a forum with different boards for each brand and each post would be for a different year/model of gun and it would say the price, etc etc.
