The jersey is more collectible than the parts box scrap bin works cocker. I’m guessing they got a whisper in their DMS from someone who never intended on buying it telling them it’s worth a fortune in this market (it’s not)
All of his stuff is way overpriced. He also trolls the Old School Paintball group on FB saying he is looking to sell a bunch of stuff, then he will 'end' the sale abruptly. No one I have seen has yet to confirm a sale from him, multiple people including myself report that he never responded to our DM's, so I am not convinced he ever sold any of it.
If you parted the works cocker out and sold everything differently you could call the difference you were out the price for a lesson learned? Some people just think they have something worth more than it really is. Then again, some people are just insane.
I don't mind seeing ridiculous prices.
I've got way too much paintball stuff and need to start liquidating. High priced listings (whether they sell or not) give me hope that the pile of antiques I have may be worth more than nothing.
I’ve dialogued with this gentleman via fleebay, he’s got a storage unit full o goodies, communication is iffy at best, grammar he uses doesn’t make sense. I tried to convince him to MCB sell that good good ish but he said, “he doesn’t use it that much”. I’ll echo what others have said, I’m glad he’s stimulated the paintball economy. But dang yeah those prices aren’t realistic to regular players without trust funds. Gouging? Perhaps, Married? Who knows. Good info on the FB rants though. I’m gonna stop holding my breath on that olive/black flex 7.
P.S- I’m still trying to find my one of one custom random ANS/DYE/WGP/KAPP/AKA/BobLong right feed Autococker with a original factory valve and springs from my great aunts tool organizer that I sold for $300.00 in 10th grade. It’d be worth at least $3,500 by todays one of one custom standards.
personally, i take a small loss on all the gear i sell. BUT i vet the dudes buying my stuff to make sure theyre not just scalpers. i hate this part of the scene and try to do my part to get stuff into the hands of guys who are actually gunna USE it. money problems or a health scare? id rather donate to your cause than support price gouging. the whole hypebeast, greedy "i know what i got" mentality kills it for me.
Ditto: I’d feel weird if I didn’t loose money. I got hooked up fat one time. Now I hook up fat too. I mean, we drop nickels on the floor every time we shoot paint anyway.
