Just to be nice

[Pewpewpew]

Recently met an Uncle/Nephew at the field. They showed up for a first day for the 11 year old kid for a big game not knowinf it was a big game. The kiddo found a piranha and a spyder at a garage sale for $40 and was stoked to come out and play. Neither worked. We hooked him up with some gear, and set him loose. He was at mid-field no fear first day first game. I know how that sounds. Funny! I needed a ride up a big hill and I’m too old to wanna walk so I thumbed, they picked me up, turns out, their first day. A couple weeks later they were back, this time they both played. Again, different folks, got the kid hooked up with an etha with a dw valve, barrel kit, and ltr. They both had a blast. Anybody got some stuff that is in good shape they are willing to part with on the cheap or just gift? I will cover shipping. A decent pod pack, freak sizers, a tank and regulator, ir/ltr, barrel? Kids probably a medium for knee pads/arm pads/pants/jersey. Budget is at $350 for a mech marker, and I know they are looking for him. Just got Uncle into a RSX/CVO with both frames from ebay. This is not a charity case. Just a random act of kindness/feel good for a nice kid/nice guy. Any questions please ask. I’ve got a Bunker Kings Sly 4+7, some dye arm pads, a pair of gloves, a barrel condom, and 5” .677 insert for them. This is a selfish post for my own feel goods, not gonna lie.

It wouldnt be great, i have a plastic tippmann and a hopper I would send for the price of the ride. Only stipulation is they gave to gift it to the next new player down the line

Always good to have a good solid mech marker, and shake and bake hopper. Both have saved my day out couple of times. And also good loaners for those coming out the first time.

I know he’s looking for a an etha/emek/cvo, something aling those lines to buy.

Always feels great helping out the new players, especially when you see em come back. Do they have decent masks?

[Pewpewpew]

They do, both have JT Proflex. Revy and a used IR for hoppers so far and shake and bakes.

I love reading these stories! I get that feeling because I know what it’s like to see new players come back after you helped them out a little..

You are doing the Lord's work here.

This is like an Early Walzmas! Good on you, sir.

I've got some stuff I can donate if you cover shipping. I think I have a camo pack that holds 6 pods, some Revvys, and an old V-Force mask. The pod pack is in great condition. The Revvys have some cosmetic issues, but they work fine. Same with the mask. It was blue but has been painted black. Both the strap and foam have been replace with homebrew remedies. But it still works great and it has a dual pane lens. I can send you pictures if anything piques your interest.

[Pewpewpew]

Thank you, covered on those items. He has a revy, as kids are… Looking for an ltr with a speed feed or spire ir. Pod packs are covered l. Still need a headband, knee pads in medium, a couple squegees, and a valve for an emek. There has been some phenomenal support here, thank you everybody!

[Pewpewpew]

Oh, it is absolutely for self gratification! Random 5” freak inserts would be awesome! Thank you ro all for your support on this!

[Masonhd81]

I have some spare OG freak inserts. Nothing too small maybe an extra 682

[Pewpewpew]

Thanks, I think we are down to some pants, knee and arm pads, and a loader. Found some freaks reasonably priced on ebay, Appreciate the offer!

Those are both nice, Another member turned me on to an Emek for $190. Curated was nice enough to let go of a DW carbon fiber freak for $60 so he should be all set with a the addition of a valve.

Huge thanks to those of you who did something “just to be nice” . Everything received has been in lightly used or damn near new condition. This kid is going to be SO STOKED! We have a nice empire bounce shirt, pe pants in great shape (kinda jelous tbh), beautiful valken tank with thread saver, nipple cap, pe butt with a year left on it, a squegee, tank case, loader case, barrel condoms, pods, CURATED sold a deadly winds cf barrel at a very fair price, freak sizers from ebay, and the only thing left I’m still after is a reasonably priced ltr or ir. Thank you all SO FN’ much for helping me do this for this kid! Oh, and a donated marker as well as a project, that should be a lot of fun for him!
