Okay, so, i was on ebay, when i saw an add for a "secret paintball site". I clicked on it, but i did not bid. I read the details and it said stuff like "ions- $85, 05 Speed- $300, ect." I was thinkin "holy crap that's freakin awsome!" Then i got to thinkin. Why would a place sell guns for that cheap, and why would thay be a secret? If a place could sell guns for that, they would be makin alot of money, right? How are people supposed to find the place for them to get business if it's a secret. If anyone has any more info on this type of scheme, pleaze explain. Thanks ------------- X |

Its a pyramid scheme. One person orders it and pays for it, then the
first buyer has to get 5 other people to buy it, then the first person
gets it. Then, the other 5 people have to get 5 people before the first
5 get it. And Its illegal. |

It could be that people pay to see the site, so its also another source of income and charge lower for the markers because they are making more for the people paying to see their site. Just a thought ------------- You call the Eagle, Eagle does the rest. |
