Yo PEEPS! (unfortunately) i was persuaded into buying the 'really cheap paintball tickets' during UNSW oweek. I saw the exact same paintball stand at USYD oweek! Please read because its worth it, will take 1-2 minutes and its not as boring as it looks. 
Heres the story:
He (sales guy) pulled me from the walkway (not literally) as i was leaving uni. He enticed me with lots of nice paintball deals and stuff. I asked him where the locations were and the ranga said campbelltown, penshurst, blacktown etc.
Campbelltown sounded good to me cos i live not too far from there lol so i asked him how to get to that one and he said its about 5 minutes from the station. That sounded terrific. We asked if thats walking time and he said yes.
It was $159.99 just for the tickets (alot of them) and obviously thats alot to spend without lots of thought. I was with 2 mates, we moved to the side to discuss and we agreed its cheap but i didn't want to do it straightaway. SO I asked the bitch if he was still selling them the next day and he said no they only come randomly to random places. He kept persuading me and BANG he offers twice the amount of tickets for the price he was about to give to me a minute ago. Obviously it being a pretty damn good deal i said... okay.
Turned out he was a shifty bas*&^d of a sales person.
The next day i had a lecture and my friend texted me that the paintball stall was still there actually. I did not care much though because i thought i still got myself a good deal...
BUT
A couple days later i went on the net to check out the actual place in campbelltown. IT WASNT EVEN IN CAMPBELLTOWN. It was a random suburb near campbelltown and is like a 30 minute drive...
The cost of the paintballs are pretty expensive and on the site doesnt say that gear is included in the price. So i realised the overall cost of playing would be about the same as any other place. Thats not the point though. This guy lied to me not once, but twice. I still remember his face. It was ugly.
Awkward because im a sales assistant myself, working in shoe retail. I just cant see how someone can lie that much. "it aint about the money money, aint about eh money money money" - Jessie J Song. I hope im not one of the few honest salesmen in this world.
One of the many morals of the story: either the guy was born a C*NT or commision turned him into one.
