As long as teh person has good feedback, there isn't a problem buying a used gun. I do it my self all the time. I only buy used guns cause they're so much cheaper then new ones.

Most are very nice. I think the main reason they're so cheap is because they have been used and the owner knows people wont buy these used high-end guns for very much. Sometimes people just want rid of them.

Just be careful of what you are buying. Make sure the person took care of it. Try to get as many photos as possible and ask a ton of questions before you buy. Such has: How old is it, how often did you play, have you repaired anything, how is it working, How much paint do you figure you shot through it. A team mate of mine buys used all the time. He bought a Timmy off a paintball forum. Thing was in real good shape and worked like a charm.

yea off ebay make sure the person has 99.9 or better percent. check the photos to see if there is any damage to the gun. even e-mail the guy/girl to see if there was any injuries to it. thye are pretty good about telling you what is wrong with it
98% of ion owners think ions are better than any high end gun. If you would like to bonus ball these idiots put this in your sig.

You're an idiot. You know how many people have a 99.9% feedback rating? Not many.

Other than that, your advice is sound. I normally don't bid on something if the person is below the 90%-92% range(depends what I'm buying).

MOST IMPORTANT RULE: Always use PayPal. Any man's insurance.

You're taking a risk if you buy off Ebay.

I bought from a guy with 98% and over 300 sales. After I gave him the cash never heard from him again!
Work sucks...

Make sure if you order from www.ebay.com that you have pay pal and that the seller has great feedback.  It's not worth losing a lot of money over.  Make sure you stay safe while shopping there.
