How much would i get if i sell my A-5 with AA barrel and double trigger.  It is lightly used, probubly 3500 to 4000 paintballs shot from it.  Really neat.  How much should i ask to buy my friends cocker for(has a ion now).  It is neatly kept in a case.  saw it in action and really good.  It leaked air but he tightend somehting and it worked.  And should i keep the A-5 or sell it?

just up the A-5 for awhile.  Go for e-grip, JCS double trig and Flatline.  I love mine it works great so ya just keep the A-5 for awhile and then go straight to high end guns for your next marker.  Vote and post on my Threads!  theyre under my username of course!
My guns name is Mr. Max in remembrance of my dog that got hit by a car: Tippmann A-5
Ricochet R-5

Flatline Barrel

Do you have the need for speed?

As for selling your A-5, you could get maybe $200 max, probably less (trust me, I'm trying to sell my A-5 and it has alot more stuff on it and I'm gonna be lucky to get $250). 

I say go for the cocker, some people really like the A-5, I personally am not one of them.  Don't get me wrong, it's great, I just don't like it.

Since it's your friends cocker, see if he'll let you play with it for a day.  You know, test it out, see if you like it better than your A-5.  If so, and assuming it is a bone stock 04 vert cocker, offer him about $200-$250 for it.

I say try and sell your A-5 and get the cocker.

I only play speedball, mainly because noone likes playing in the woods where i live(so stupid).  They say it takes to long and uses to much paint.

And i probubly wont put anymore money in my A-5.  Cause most guns come stock with stuff i wanna put on it, and i dont really like the A-5, so why keep it against your will.?

From your post it seems to me as the prostock is the way to go.  I agree about not putting anymore money into the A-5.  You may also consider and Ion, since it will be much faster, stock, than the cocker.

As far as why I still have my A-5, I'm dead broke, and can't afford a new gun.  I am trying to sell it and start saving for a new gun.

I agree as well don't dump more money into the A-5 to try and make it a speed-ball gun because it never will be. The feel is just different than lets say a BKO. I rented a BKO the last time i went to a pay field and the feel was so different than my C98. It's so light, compact. Snap shooting was sooo nice witLikeh the BKO. I agree with Random borrow your friends marker the next time you paly and see if you like it.
