Ok now this is only really for the rec/woodsball players who are tite on money. ive have been doing this tactic for a while. Ok now a case of paint is wat 45 or around that rite? Well my local shop charges around 20 for a bag of 500....good paint now this is.,..so ive been buying a case of 2000 midnight every time we went and i sell a bag of 500 for 15 bux which means they are also saving money but im making a decent profit. in the end after i sell 3 bags the case is paid for and i still have a bag of 500 left over for my use. There for i roughly only spend about 5 dollers to refill my n2 every time i play. LOL...works!!!

dude thats a awesome idea. to bad i shoot alot more then 500 paintballs a day. More like 500 paintballs a game.

**JT6.0** · June 22nd, 09:31 PM

Well yeah but see im real conservative plus if they wanna play speedball on a day instead of us playing our scenario games which dont use much paint then they need more paint also so i jus order more cases but im still braking even of every case of paint cuz if i need more so do they. Its a good trick but its not like they're getting ripped our local shop is just over priced so they still get a good deal and i play for basically free.

**inkjt510** · June 22nd, 11:29 PM

I would think if you're playing scenario, you would use more paint, since those games generally last longer. I didn't really understand what you did, but...good job?

***D_Smalls*** · June 22nd, 11:44 PM

yeah when i play stock class. i use like.. 50-100 balls a day and maybe two 12 grams... so thats uber cheap too

Soon we'll be getting free paint.

I win.

Thats not bad though. You should get 2 cases, Sell 6 bags, and have 1000 to shoot.

***Barber*** · June 23rd, 12:38 AM

Who gives you paint? I wanna email them.

**1337** · June 23rd, 01:22 AM

We be sponsered.

Brass Eagle might give us free paint, but guranteed 25 a case.

PMI will cut us deals on premiums.

Severe might give each player 1 case per practice We gotta win like 2 more tournies.

**darren-r** · June 23rd, 01:11 PM

i used to buy like 2 cases of blaze for 70$ (damn canadian prices) and sell off bags for 25$ each. after selling off a case, i would have 100$, then id sell half of the other case, and have 150$. so. i gained 1000 paintballs and 10$ for free. but, people realized what i was doing and stopped buying from me, but it was good while it lasted.

**JT6.0** · June 23rd, 01:15 PM

Ya well see im not ripping anyone off so my free paint wont stop when we're playin rec...our local shop is ridiculous its like 19.99 for 500 29.99 for 1000 48.99 for 2000

**Ryan_Page** · June 23rd, 01:15 PM

man i should start doing that, 500 balls would last me at least 3-4 woodsball games!

**JT6.0** · June 23rd, 01:27 PM

Heck guys help me make this a sticky LOL

**chris8191** · June 26th, 03:15 PM

so if you buy a bag for $20 and sell it for $15 you make a decent profit. i have to remember that...

Johnny_Fred · June 26th, 03:44 PM

at my field, it's $80 for 1000 paintballs... there not even good ones either

but it's basically the only place to play @, and u can't bring ur own paint, b ut air is free...

**JT6.0** · June 26th, 06:53 PM

wow thats ridiculous...For practice/rec ball with my friends Ive been buyin dbx at dicks 19.99 for 1000. Not the best paint but it hardly brakes and it works for me so I cant complain for that cheap of a price.

**Huey69** · June 27th, 12:00 AM

Do you play at panther paintball? I played there once and they wanted to charge us $160 canadian for a case of paint ( $112 american). It was NELSON SPLAT TOO!!!!!! THATS $40 REC BALL!!!!!. We bought like 15 cases so they lowered the price down to $50 american so it was decent.

**chronic** · June 29th, 02:53 PM

What the hell $112 for Nelson.. Id laugh and then spit on him.

He's not buying them in bags. He's buying a case which is 4 bags that equates to about 12 dollars and change per bag. Then he just keeps one bag and sells the other 3 for 15 each. So he spends 48.99, makes 45, and gets 500 balls... and the other people get the paint for 15 bucks for 500 instead of 19.99 per 500.

**bob005** · June 30th, 02:42 PM
