    Probably many people, myself included, picked up miscellaneous​ parts with the idea of one project or another. I then lost interest, or life interceded and it got thrown in boxes. Now digging through those same boxes to sell it off is going to be time consuming. As bad as it is shipping within the USA, shipping outside of it is a sentence of prison rape.

      I don't Facebook at all. I would just put all my crap back in boxes and shove them into the farthest regions of my shop, before that would become an option.

        I have a lack of people buying things
        lately. I’m in Canada though, so smaller market and more expensive shipping. Shipping to the US is pricy, but you get the benefit of the exchange rate which helps. I loath selling things on Facebook but have a health JT collection and Facebook is where the market for them. I just sold a mask on Reddit, which was my first sale on that platform and it went well. Answered a WTB ad.

        As the weather gets better the marker should pick up, hopefully. Life if pretty expensive though, so paintball might be taking a hit with people’s lack of disposable income.

          What I've noticed is a lack of variety. Everybody's selling Cockers or Mags right now in the mech section.

          There used to be a lot of options, from Vectors to Strokers to MegaZs.

            I think the vast old school pool has ran it's course. Newer mech players don't want old stuff... They want something more competitive to the modern game which drives prices down.

            I am slightly shocked at how few modern mechs show up on here. I realize that one, they are usually mech/electro hybrids and two probably a large demographic here has classic mechs. Still it feels difficult to find a shocker/geek especially if you aren’t interested in the electric frame.
