    Check out what i just found in an old gearbag

    Digging through old gear and found these catalogs from the year i started playing. Its a magazine and newspaper add for I&I (fairly local to me). They are in mint condition and have some really neat adds/articles. I will add some more pics as i get time but figured i would share a few

          Looking at the Autocockers for sale brings back so many memories. For some reason, I was always a cocker over mag guy and I would stare at these magazine ads knowing I couldn't afford them.
          "but we all have electros and you guys only have pumps, this wont be fair"

          (chuckling quietly) "we know"

            I was always a Mag guy and couldn't afford one either, so I guess the two of us could have argued Mag v Cocker back in the day and then shot it out with Tippmanns and Spyders or whatever lol

            Thinking about it, I think I had a sniper, trracer and my trusty Pro-Am around that time. I ultimately stuck with the sniper and that same one is still my primary to this day. That being said, I did end up building a nice collection of old school cockers and mags. (Even though mags are no where near as accurate as a cocker . (Thats the end of my old school mag bashing, I like them both now))

            I bought that. Next time I had a problem with my mag and sent to factory, they threw it in the trash and told me it was a scam waste of money

            That was me when I first laid eyes on a good looking woman holding an e-Orracle when they were new. Could never afford one back then, but dreamed of owning one. Sadly I can’t remember the name of that magazine. Think it was back in 03-04

              That model A add is amazing, and with a sale price of nearly $600 ... That's 2 to 3 times what those high end pump went for at the time ...

              Are you planning on scanning the entire catalog?

                It turns out there are 3 things in life that are constant. Death, taxes, and Phantom prices.

                  ROFL yea. though adjusting for inflation phantom prices have gotten significantly cheaper. $299 back then is what $600 or so now at least

                  Me too, but it never came to be. Mike scrapped the prototype because it didn't perform to his standards.
