Yeah, I cannot wait to try one.  Sized like a shocker, efficiency like a Borg, and great quality from MacDev.

Buzzard


I really dont consider markers that will be worth a 1/4th of their price new in 2 or 3 years to be high end. Why not just pick up a dm4 or 5 for like 3-400 used, just as fast, couple ounces heavier, little bigger. I've seen 05 egos down around 375-450, why pay 1200 when you can get a 2 year old version of really the same gun for way less.

The demand for the newest marker is so high in the high-end marker market, that the demand for older version shoots way down, leaving a large supply still in stores. To get these older models sold, companies and owners are forced to sell at a "too good to be true" type price to gain consumer appeal.

so why buy an 08 ego for 1300 when you can get an 05 for in the neighborhood of 400

Well what defines "high end"? Is depreciation really a factor or is quality, features, and the simply fact that there is demand at such a price enough to dictate that a product is considered high end?

 

Furthmore... while it might not be the most frugal or fiscall responsibl decision... if you are making a significant amount of money what is wrong with using your wealth to buy the fastest, lightest, and most expensive marker? How does buying the slightly better,... singificantl more expensive version of a product negate its niche of being a high end product?

found a deal online, guy sold a osirus with kaner kit for 390.... i cried.... alot.....

Hee. My Osiris was $200.

how many cockers are actually considered high end? would my freeflow and my dads jeff orr be considered high end?

lol played speedball today. dont know why so many pople like shooting fast, i maybe used 5 balls a game and took about 2 out a game, missed maybe 1 ball. shooting walls of paint just means its hard to move. kinda funny, i did a run down the tape line and had 2 guys firing at me, by the sounds of it ramping there shockers(every1 had a shocker for some odd reason) and i put out 3 balls, got 1 guy twice, and put hte other ball so close to him he ducked in, then took a bunker and shot him with my left hand taking 3 shots, 1 hit his hopper when we snaped out. damn i love cockers.(although a lighter gun woulda been nice, i think if im feeling bold ill bring the phantom out,)

Sounds like you're playing a bunch of scrubs.

Whatever, though. Once you start to play competent people you may see the need for something with a little more oomph.

98c is not high end. And depends on cocker if its high end. Unless its a Racer or something like that its not going to be considered high end either.
