Does paintball make money?

Question

I was thinking of opening an internet store for Paintball equipment but I was wondering before I do it if paintball equipment is a hot item?

Answer 1

na the sites dont make much money

the real money comes when you own your own paintball site, you make over 100% profit on the paint

Answer 2

paintball is a good business to open up but you have to know your stuff and you gotta make the stuff cheap

Answer 3

if you are looking for a get rich quick business .... this is not it. with all the recent MAP restrictions pb companies have established, it makes it hard to make a living ..... unless you buy large quantities at a time and able to sell it quick.  And the only way to do this is by violating your MAP agreement.

Answer 4

idk you decide

Answer 5

I have been wondering if it is a bit of a scam.  A Paintball franchise is the sort of thing that gets sold as a business proposition to guys who have just come out of the Army with a friend and a pile of money saved up.  A lot of these guys have no business experience, and I am not sure if they all have much of a chance.  Paintballing is touted round offices and things as a 'team day out', but it is expensive, and once the novelty has been tried, next year people want to do something different.  The paintball places I have seen have been too expensive to get a regular crowd of 14 year olds filling the place in the week, it is not like a lazerquest hall or even a skating rink.  Does anyone know if the people who buy the franchises all have to buy their equipment from the same company too?
