Checked Ebay just now. It sucked. Action Village listed 6000 items of CRAP.

I scrolled through 30 pages in the paintball section and gave up. It's blanketed with so many listings for one screw, or a trigger spring, or a pair if sunglasses, or a 32* lens cleaning cloth - nothing worth looking at. Over and over, nothing worth looking at. Bummer.

of all the crap, they also listed new old stock JT qls lenses that fit reaper masks, those lenses are almost unobtainable and had to get one

That’s good to know! I would love to snag a backup.

It's inventory time for a lot of businesses.

The worst part is, too many idiots are putting items in the wrong categories. Private sales is where it is at... I dont get the parted stuff.

Also seems like a TON of people have been getting into parting out markers lately too.

I wouldn’t think there is much meat on the bone after shipping and fees on all the individual tidbits of a Smart Parts Nerve or something. Sure a board, eyes, or solenoid might be an easy sell, but who out there is actually looking for a Nerve body instead of just the whole thing?

Plus people want top dollar for garbage items that look like my dog has been chewing on them like these Karnivor pneumatics.

That's the real issue... Nothing is a deal anymore it seems like. Everything is in unknown (or just bad) shape for top dollar. I bought a microrock for a project and it wound up being jbwelded (or something) together. I wound up tossing it in the trash after a few attempts to get it apart.

And on the flip side, a lot of that stuff just hangs out on there forever. I have a bunch of stuff I added to a watchlist over a year ago that is still there. Basic stuff like regs, grips, etc. So those guys are just sitting on that stuff I guess.

And yet, sometimes it is the only place to find that one thing so I suck it up and buy it 😂

Nothing is a deal and deals get parted

[Blackmagic71]

That’s a good point on items sitting for sale for 12+ months. I’m not opposed to top dollar prices if something really deserves it. If somebody has a NIB WGP E-Orracle that they won at a tournament back in the day and then forgot about it in a closet for a couple of decades along with a copy of Action Pursuit Games that has a picture of them holding it next to Bud Orr, heck yeah, ask for $1250 or something crazy. But everybody wants top dollar for their non-functioning, scratched up junk, with a hodgepodge of mismatched “upgrades.”
