3a Products gets the boot from E-bay..
Well it looks as if 3a Wholesale, Ltd. is on the skids. For years, questionable business practices, spotty customer services, poor products, and out and out fraudulent activity has been thier normal operation. Well now, they will have to find a new avenue for thier products as Ebay has booted them.
I have had my history with their company, and suffice it to say it has been less then happy.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of pogues and scoundrels...  |

What did you have problems with? I purchased a tank from them off ebay last year and haven't had any problems with it. Just curious if I should expect any.

I've heard from some from some our friends how many problems they've had with them. I hate to say it, but I'm glad ebay has had it with therm.

Their tanks are 'seconds' - they didn't make the cut the first time around and were bought to be sold cheap, with a new regulator attached. If there hasn't been a problem with it so far you'll probably be fine...As long as nothing happens where you would want to contact them.
here's a thread from a while back where lots of people talk about 3a. A good deal of it is on their tanks.

Yes. My friend has one of there tanks. He bought it at a shop around here. At first i didnt know which compnay it was and then realized the little shop here we do have sells some 3A products. Kinda sad. He paid like $240 for it when he could have gotten a 68/4500 Crossfire for $190.

And the fact that your selling the pack makes a statement too.
Never trusted them, never liked them, glad they're gone.

i HATE doing that. instead of giving a link to their former ebay store, they have to spam up 8 pages of their ****ty products (thats in 47/3000 nitro tanks alone... yes, 8 PAGES) and it takes an hour to find the 3 good things you might be interested in buying.
I think it's safe to say that booting 3a out of the picture is every paintballer's wet dream :P |

They had so much CRAP on ebay, it wasnt even funny.
Could you trust a 90 dollar 68/4500 tank? Not really.
