I don't know if this is new or not but.........http://smartparts.com/Home.aspx?Country=US&

Ions brand new 250

vision shocker 650

nerve 475

Resale is going to suck now, for us sp owners. The village sells ions for 200 now!

I think I might just go ahead and get me a shocker for that price. Maybe this will cause a chain effect and cause other companys to drop their prices a lil to compete?

more then likely cause not too long ago i saw 05 cockers(nontrilogy) for in the $250 range

but more then likely they begearing up to do a revamp of their products like they did with their barrels

They are all old models. For 06, they haven't released a new design for any of their guns. But yea, the price drop happened a while ago. I bought my Nerve close to a month ago for 475.

And yea, the resale is gonna be terrible, but like I said before, they are old models. Some people think they might be trying to get rid of all their old(er) guns so they can release 06 models...but I don't know.

2 day ions droped 2 $200

**Chris Kringle** · April 1st, 04:36 PM

Ha, thats why people in the know have been trying to get rid of our stockbody shockers.

It sucks for present day owners, but opens up tons of people to the possibility of owning a high end marker.

And there is more to come.

**punk_pntballar** · April 1st, 04:40 PM

i hope the traitor shocker's price drops a lil, if so i will buy it.

**Chris Kringle** · April 1st, 04:44 PM

traitor is put out by hybrid, not smart parts

**punk_pntballar** · April 1st, 05:01 PM

i know but since the shocker's price dropped maybe the traitor will drop to compete?

**splatwithhonor3** · April 1st, 06:24 PM

it's a high end pl shocker. It doesn't need to compete.

**Chris Kringle** · April 1st, 07:00 PM

Yeah, it's on a completely diff level.

Now id imagine the prices for actual smart parts PL shockers and ions would drop some too, but maybe that's just wishful thinking.

I just cant wait till all the soft goods come out. My jersey is alright, but I hate my custom SP team pants. Def getting some of the new ones and some new elbow pads, and a visor beanie and a....

Well, tons of stuff I'm gettin.

***Barber*** · April 1st, 07:13 PM

Chrome, how much are shockers now at wholesale price?

RB · April 1st, 07:34 PM

Dude, I literally just got an ion off my hands.

Thank god.

**Chris Kringle** · April 1st, 07:43 PM

You know i cant say

....besides, I havent even looked yet, the email went out to dealers only last night

***Barber*** · April 1st, 07:56 PM

Gah, I didn't feel like calling anyone to get the price.

It the price is cheap, I may pick one up.

Do you even know for sure if there will be a new Shocker design? Right now, everything is just rumors. Nothing has really been confirmed yet.

Chris...you have any info regarding any new designs of the SP guns?

**1337** · April 3rd, 08:36 PM

Damn, I might have to get back into paintball.

Wholly Quakers · April 4th, 08:45 AM

Well Sp would not drop their pirces unless they were trying to get rid of stock for the emerging of new products. People will still buy a vision shocker for $800 their prices were very fair, so I think they are not dropping prices for no reason.

**Huey69** · April 4th, 05:32 PM

Or they are lowering prices becuase its the smart thing to do? They have had the Shocker SFT out since 2003. That is 3 years, there is no reason they shouldnt drop the prices to please their customers and thus get more customers. It does not mean new designs are coming out(atleast not necessarily).
