alright, at my local shop the want three hundred for an ion but the give you a pass to arkenstone paintball for a year, and free work/repairs on the gun for a year. while online i can get it for 285 w/shipping. what would you do? I'm thinking just get it at the shop. but i can't decide.

IMO you always want to support your local shop.....maybe u could try to talk them down a little. but they are giving you some extra stuff so it kind of balances out....my shop has life-time warranty on anything they sell/do to your gun but o well.

always support your local shop though because if they close u might be S.O.L

That's what i was thinking. but i already tried to talk them down on the price they just keep saying it's a flat rate and won't drop. It's GA paintball by the way. If any of you guys have had any luck PM me on how you dropped the price.

shop, the money saved from field fees and possible maintance (which means pay shipping so it gets to SP and they can dick around w/ it) they are giving u are pretty good deal. Go for it.

Support your local shop. It sounds as if they are giving you a great deal.

But if you are set on getting it from the net, may I suggest www.anythingxtreme.com or www.xpaintball.biz as they have the ion for $285 and free shipping (and they pay for our forum, so a little business now and then from the members never hurts.)

I would say support your local shop as well. and coming from a guy that sells them online, that should mean something!
Most the people I sell to have no local shop to speak of (like myself) If we had a good shop here, I would never have even bothered selling any in the first place.

**big_balla** · May 25th, 05:05 PM

Yes, always support your shop. Especially if they are giving you paintball for a year.

**DeViLs_SouL** · May 25th, 10:59 PM

^^^thats all i can say!

***crazy_c*** · May 26th, 02:22 AM

here i can get a ion for $285 + tax and the cheapest ive seen them online is $260 shipped. i know here they charge $20 for unlimited fills on tanks and to play so that woudl save the extra money in 1 time out.

I have a question that has to do with my nitro tank i recently ordered. it is a pmi however i ordered it from action village and recieved it damaged, i believe. it apears to have a bent fill nipple and it wobbles slightly. i called pmi and they said they would replace the nipple. Should i send the tank back to action village or get it fixed from pmi. i have never used the tank either. any opinions?

check villages FAQ for returns and warrenty support info.

**jaggy13** · May 27th, 09:40 AM

typically most retailers will send you to the manufacturer for most anything. Village has great customer service, they may go above and beyond for ya. They also use UPS so that means the package was covered for at least $100. Call village, they will most likely replace the part and file a claim and get reimbersed later.

get it from ur shop for sure i mean its only 15 bucks less on internet and it takes like a week to ship ..if it were me i hate waiting im not really that patient.
So buy it from ur shop and that away if any thing goes wrong with it then u can get it fixed.

Yea the shop around here gave my cousin 2 free passes to the badlandz so we pretty much got 50 dollars back.
