How to Find the Best Paintball Clearance Sales

One way in which you can save a lot of money on your paintball expenses is to look for online paintball stores that are having paintball clearance sales.  Now the key here is to be careful and not let the word sale trip you up.  Yes a clearance sale can be very beneficial to your wallet, but you have to realize that having success with one is a matter of common sense.  A clearance sale is just that.  A sale being held to get rid of certain items that probably didn't sell very well in the first place. 

So if a store is doing paintball clearance on it's paintball supplies, you need to give a thoughtful examination to what is being offered.  Perhaps some of the items really are worthwhile, but you can't just automatically assume this and dive into an online sale with your eyes wide shut.  Every paintball store will have to do paintball clearance at some point just to get rid of old stock and make room for new.  Most of the time the store isn't looking to make a profit during these sales, just to break even.  Pay attention and you just might be able to find some good paintball clearance deals and avoid the trap of making purchases because something is advertised as cheap, and then finding out that it really doesn't meet your requirements.

Rather than paintball clearance items, you might just want to go for a plain old discount.  The difference here is that the store isn't permanently getting rid of anything, only selling it more cheaply than many of its competitors.  Paintball discounters can offer you the opportunity to purchase items such as paintball guns, which are normally fairly expensive for less.  This can be a big help if you want to upgrade from the type of gun you have or are buying your first gun.

A paintball marker clearance sale is probably one of those that should be eyed with caution, given that these too can be expensive items.  What is a paintball marker?  Well, basically a paintball marker is a type of gun.  It uses either an expanding gas or compressed air to send paintballs through its barrel.  When it was first created, this was what forest rangers used to mark trees with.

There are four main parts to a paintball marker:  the body, hopper (not normally included with the gun unless purchased in a package), gas system (or air tank; also not included unless in a package), and the barrel.

If you know what you're looking for and stick exactly to your list buying paintball clearance items can be a fun experience.  Every now and then you come across that fantastic deal that makes all the aggravation involved in searching worth while.

The same can be said for paintball overstock sales.  As with any other item theyhave too much of, stores will sometimes hold an overstock sale for paintball items.  This is different from doing regular paintball clearance.  Remember, plain old paintball clearance is getting rid of everything they no longer want to carry, while an overstock sale is selling cheaply items that a store has too much of.

These items are usually brand new, they just happen to have too much in storage and need to downsize a little.  Their loss can be your gain.  And remember, you aren't taking advantage, you're helping the store do a little paintball clearance.
