No offense, but first this message:
Paintball gun= $140
Paintballs+registration= $130+
Gas,Food,extras= $65
Smile on your face as you paint five unsuspecting players,,= Priceless
Sorry, couldnt help myself. On the point your making, Think about this tho. Last Scenario I went to was a hour away (lucky me) I dont shoot much paint for some reason so I only bought a half a case of paint, i pre registered so I got that discount too. I camped free, but I was lazy and bought one dinner and two breakfast. I needed more paint the next day, went to buy one more bag and since it had a busted ball in it, got it for $5. After the game, by luck again, I won a marker ($120) and a barrel ($25),deduct from cost, so even just guessing, I would say I paid $30 to play paintball that weekend. True I know this isnt the norm, and some people get stuck with the bill, but those people that get the deals, and even win stuff come away with a real good feeling, and I wouldnt mind if I was stuck with the bill next time cuz thats the way it works, and I think if you start making it truely fair for everybody ,everytime, the prizes may be gone or the patches and tshirts you get or any of the other perks that add to the experience. At the good games, its give and take, and I don't mind it.
