So I want to tell you a story about a young entrepreneur that let his passion become his business. Last month I told you that I bought a paintball gun called an autococker, turns out the gun came in broken and I got an incredibly cheap price on the gun and ended up fixing it myself. Lots of time and research went into fixing this and it ended up being a fairly cheap fix. One of the O-rings in the three way pneumatic valves was broken. For those of you that don't know O-rings are rubber rings that go around air fittings to make sure there is an air tight seal, making sure the air flows where you want it to flow. Once I fixed it I threw it up on the BST forums, of course on TECHPB. Now I actively went and searched for offers, I mostly wanted to trade this away instead of straight up selling it. So using the normal and fairly common "sig" offer on these forums, (it means whatever is in the person's signature under every post for trade) I ended up trading this away for a 2008 model fusion FX made by Dangerous Powers. This is a 500 dollar tournament gun I effectively bought for 150 dollars, 75 for the autococker that I fixed, and I had to add 75 cash. But all in all a great deal.... I think I just got addicted to flipping guns (gun I received is up top)
