Reality is hard eh? You obviously missed the point. Have you held the highend guns that you blast the price? They are night and day vs a benjamin or umarex. It is not hard to tell the difference im machining and materials used. You are obviously right aboit everything you say so continue on.

I have both. I own a notos and I put at least 1000 into making perform Almost as good as my dreamline... Almost. Don't get me wrong, I love that notos, It performs well. But, side by side whether you shoot my dreamline, my crown, my Huntsman Revere, when you pick the notos after... There is an OBVIOUS world of difference between them. Solid, gentle shooting,lubed butter smooth operation, perfect fitment, near silent blocks of beautiful machining and wood vs a functional, yet rough around the edges, rattle and click and much louder mass produced functional gun. Rolls Royce vs Toyota Corolla.

There's nothing wrong at all with the Corolla.

But if you were given the choice, for free between a German produced M5 or a Corolla SE. Which one you grabbing?

We're not trying to compare quality of a notos to a dreamline or the likes, we're comparing the devaluation of a notos to an impact...lol, world of difference.

Also, shouldn't the German produced M5 devalue less over 5-10 years than a Corolla SE? Reality is it probably also as a larger disparity in devaluation.

Exact opposite in relation to cars, look at percentage of value lost vs purchase price. If given for free I’m taking the M5, if buying with a concern for resale Corolla 10 out of 7 days a week.
If buying for enjoyment likely not buying a Corolla.

The word "should" doesn't belong. Nothing is fair. which is the larger risk?

Well, just to clarify for you. Saying my statement is not truthful is saying I am a liar. The notos is still new,and very cheap. A multi-year year old impact, is out of warranty, will need service and does not have recent additions that make a newer gun nicer. Less than half of retail is the norm. Most everythimg else, still sells half of retail,more times than not.

Should does belong more than 'nothing' in 'nothing is fair'. The topic isn't about risk, its about devaluation of a particular airgun...namely the Impact.

I'm not wandering off into the world of tangents with you or others any further, its off basis and not productive to this thread.

Many of your statements are not objective truths bud, rather just subjective truths to you, or rather... opinion, but that is not the same as calling you a liar.

My guns are not worth 50% of their original value, much closer to 75%, even 8 years later..

If not about fairness, what's your issue?
This is 100% economics. Supply go up, demand go down, new product revision come in, old go out. I don't like what I call the "iPhone consumer centipede". But it's economics and thats how it goes. Current model sells high, new revision. Prices drop drastically.

Because it is the same old crap, nothimg new. If it is used from the dollar store, nobody is giving you $.75. You keep believing your story.

What does fairness have to do with this? If one thing is out of proportion, it does not mean that all things are not fair, which you implied, not me. I didn't bring fairness into this...having an impact devalue much faster than a marauder, avenger, ghost, airforce condor, the list goes on and on, has nothing to do with fairness.

The vulcan 1 isn't suddenly worth 50% of a vulcan 3...I can make 20 more examples if you'd like, rti prophet, gk1....
