I would guess that some guys are moving on to other things, but in my instance, it's "retirement" that has driven the sale of my PTWs.

Like Pirate has said, there are alot of variations out there in the condition and functionality of PTWs. If you guys could see all the guns that have crossed my bench in the last couple of years, the condition ranges from pristine to shocking. I have some pics of the worst ones, and they leave you saying "WTF, how could you do that to a gun".

More than once, guys have bought a $1500 kit package, only to find a cracked receiver, dud electronics, bad motor, torn hop-up rubber, poor assembly, poor packaging (and subsequant damage in shipping), you name it. There sometimes are good deals to be had, but you need to be fussy and vigilant in getting all the info on the gun in question.

Sometimes, you might see a gun listed at $3000, but factor in the level of accessories, optics, etc., and the price climbs very quickly.
