    $9592 worth of paintballs

    It just strikes me as interesting that anyone can go and add this to their cart.

    The product ID is "HKARMYGITDPAINT-FULLSKID" so I'd guess that this is just if someone wanted to order a whole pallet/skid of paint? Not sure why they wouldn't just directly go to the paint supplier at that point though, unless ANSgear is trying to get rid of a pallet and they don't want to sell individual cases?

        $60/case seem like a lot for bulk order ...

        That comes out to 59.95 per case. And that's assuming there's no shipping charges

        So if you are a field what are you selling this at to make profit

        If you are at a field, you should be buying wholesale at probably $35/case or thereabouts.

            Unless you have an adventure bike, in which case you can skip the skid of paintballs and just ride around with Norman Reedus instead of battling the undead. 👍🏻

              That was my thought as well. If I wanted a whole pallet why would I buy from ans who has already put their markup on it rather than buying straight from the manufacturer

              do mfgrs only sell to businesses? maybe some rich dude wants to fund his backyard d5 team but can't get a deal direct, so he has to go to a reseller and this is the best option available for a one stop shop.

              That or I guess some east coast field that charges $120-150/case wouldn't blink twice as long as they come half dimpled.

                You can just buy directly from the manufacturer. I have done it before.

                  Not justifying the cost or process but it is glow in the dark paint

                    If your ANS why not just throw it out there that it’s available? Certainy doesn’t cost them anything to list it. And if you sell a skid at full retail… sweet.

                      They probably listed it because they have had multiple requests for that specific "item" and listed it to make it easier on fields/groups. That was my take.

                        They could be fishing for calls from people asking for a lower price. MAP means they have to advertise it at $59.95 a case, but if someone calls and expresses interest, they can then offer whatever price they want.
