then, just go with friends for gathering to this place, pay $1 get lunch and go away.
so basically the deal is $1 lunch !
Wonder if anyone has actually tried that, surely they'd make sure you bought the paintballs first.
i dont know but i think the rep will hate me suggesting this hahahaha
even better:
you go there, wear the gear up complete with empty guns then sit down eat the lunch and talk with your friends for hours then go home.
all for just $1
edit no, you have to spend $50 when booking - so basically, %51 incl lunch
Great idea :) will try that and see
Lunch is supplied "at most" (not all) places. Might be $1 for nothing at "some" places
For a Crazy $1 You Get
nothing….
The 1st 200 Paintballs must be pre-purchased for each player at the time of booking to secure the date.$50 per 200 paintballs online, $50 per 200 paintballs over the phone.

Then the title is so misleading!
Lies do not a bargain make.
Considering you are required to pay $50 per person, seems pretty dodgy.
facepalm
PS:
"Qoop isn't just another group buy site. We have some very clever and innovative features that we have currently 'locked' until we gain some momentum in the market (to obviously stop other sites from copying us very quickly!)."
A "$1 unlimited" deal which actually costs a MINIMUM of 50x the advertised amount must be one of those clever and innovative features, eh?
First time I've heard of Qoopon and, as with ikoala, this kind of crap guarantees everything you ever post will be treated as a joke from the outset. Congrats.
can I respectfully suggest that we consider banning ministry of paintball deals……
They are consistently negged, but don't get highlighted as they generally come through 'group' buy postings.
http://www.ozbargain.com.au/search/node/ministry+of+paintbal…
you get absolutely nothing for a dollar.
Nah don't ban them. How else would we so easily identify what group deal sites to avoid like the plague?
Why we keep allowing this shit to be posted?
what is this… so from now every all group deal provider can make a FANTASTIC DEAL.
example:
HURRY 1 DAY DEAL ONLY: $1 to fly to LAS VEGAS - including meals
ToC: upon BOOKING THE date of departure you must buy a $1,597 return ticket - non refundable
Yeah but if you can get UNLIMITED people onto that deal and you maybe get a free lunch depending on where you fly out from, that makes it a great deal right? tumbleweed … right?
how come $1597 is deal for return ticket to las vegas from australia ? well the meal is obviously supplied by any airlines flying to USA, am i correct?
my point is, they put small amount of $ in the title but in the TOC you saying people must spend extra upfront before can utilise/enjoy the deal.—> this is rubbish.
I dunno if you got his sarcasm or not. He is agreeing with you, that's why he pos your comment, and negged the deal.
Clearly my powers of tumbleweed are no match for erwinsie…
even better, go to ultimate skirmish, $110, 1000 bullets, bbq lunch. need to pay the $110 a month in advance or something
$0.11 per bullet, standard guns though, but the benefit of that is that you dont go through 400 bullets in one round
was invited to go to action paintball recently, got upgraded guns, killed 400+ bullets in the first round, then you purchase bullets at $20 per 100 or something
i prefer and recommend ultimate skirmish, all the ones i have organised have always been there, the lunch they provide is a sht load better than the other fields, fields are abit out of the way though, yarramundi and helensburg
you pay $110 / month so you can get continuous pain and blue mark on your body.
sound great.
Some people pay $110/half-hour for that.
Bargain I say. Bargain.
it's also about inflicting the pain, although don't organise for your birthday, i came home with 50+ bruises once
I've never tried paintball before and was about to get this until I read all the comments.
Thanks for all warnings.
Absolute rubbish. too many of these scams!
why is it always paintball that has these types of scams? don't paintball fields understand this kind of marketing is bad for business as a whole? turns the average joe off when you have a pricing scheme that's a borderline ponzi scheme.
This site is a rip - they take your money and do not even send out the product and CLAIM to send it out once you lodge a dispute with paypal - funny enough they never bothered to answer any of my emails to which they also claim they have a 1 day guarantee of responding - WORST SITE EVER!!!!! Will never purchase anything from this site and will make sure everyone hears how bad this site is.
This is not a bargain.
Why dont these group buy reps ever do any research on past OzBargain posts beforehand?
A simple search for "paintball" will show you not what to do and how get unlimited negs…for free!
I think some people may be caught out by having to buy the pellets/bullets in addition.
