Welcome to Gaia! ::

I post to help out all the local paintball shops out there. As many of you may know that hundreds of people buy paintball stuff online or at major big stores such as Wal-Mart. When people do this they don't notice that they slowly put local shops outta business.

Yeah you might save a few dollars on something but you could lose something more valuable such as a local paintball shop. I myself have lost my towns local shop due to people buying things online and at big stores.

Local shops can do much more then just sell things at a higher price. If your marker broke and you sent it into Wal-Mart would they fix it, No I'm afraid not. Will a online store help you decide on which item has the best quality for the buck? Will a online shop show you visually how to dissemble and reassemble a marker?

I urge people to help out local paintball shops. Yeah you might have to take time outta your schedule to get to the shop. Yeah you might have to drive acouple miles outta the way,but I say it is worth it.

Here in Newfoundland we have only one paintball shop and its by far the coolest place, all the people are cool except one guy who is a bit snobish too the noobies, but that is besides the point and tom (the owner) always gives deals like you buy a gun and a tank he'd toss in a box a paint for free, like one time i was geting a expanchion chamber and i said how i needed a drop forward and that it was next on my list and he just reached into a drawer and a shiny new crome drop was mine.
