Ive been asking this question in a few places, but no one wants to answer
this super-spooky question, So I figure Ill ask here too. I... guess this is
the closest type of forum I can get to the question.

Anyway, I know the general prices of madly upgraded DM3s. but what
about a rarely used - stock Dm3 nowadays? Its pretty important I find this
out, and any type of help would be appreciated.


Thanks

Probably about $100.

And it's a 2003 Dye Matrix, not a DM3. Why do you want to know? Selling or buying?

Thanks! I want to know because Im buying, but between friends, so a fair price obviously must be in order. Sadly none of us really know the price on this relic, too much debating and such. Thats why I definitely need to know what they really go for.

Oh cool, thanks for the help dudes.


If you want to know, the deal is unofficially closed. I figured he's my friend, so that gives me the ability to know he hasnt beaten it with a hammer, and to test fire it. That reassurance is worth 10 bucks to me. Hes low on cash so he's throwing in a bag of paint (15 bucks) for a total of 125. Not a golden deal but hell I want it!
Now I need to check out it now to see if its as nice as he says.

There's a reason DeTrevni and I have loads of ugly-ass markers in our possession Carl. They tend to rock out a lot better than the pretty ones for some reason.

The DMLCD/DM3 is still sick by today's standards with the right parts in it.

I think they're hot... in an... "ugly" way?

Yeah they are the bulky tank of paintball. Still, I shall rip with it. Really, it's a Dm8 with a weight problem to me, so its all good.




But uh.. right parts?

The older the Matrix, the better it shoots.

Board, bolt kit, and a good LPR is all you need.

Tadao still makes and sells DM3 boards, you'll need to perform a top-hat mod if it hasn't been done yet or get a bolt-kit (aardvark, orange, or freeflow) which will help with efficiency, and last but not least, you need a good lpr. SCM-III is the best, but a DYE rocket or shocktech lpr will work just fine.

Hmmm.. Yeah I can do the tophat mod, easy as hell. As for the board, I knew about Tadao (me love Tadao) making one, but isnt it something outrageous like 120-150 bucks? I mean come one, its an old gun.

As for the LPR, I searched the SCM-III and found a 50 dollar one. That sounds reasonable.

Thanks, I will be getting most of this. (When my wallet permits)

If you can't afford a new board, see if you can't find an old Freeflow "Anderson" board. They're optical and run an LED screen (screen, not individual lights, takes less power to make words/scroll/etc. So your battery lasts longer) so you get the awesome fine-tuning capabilities of an optically operated board and better battery. Only down side is no true ramping modes.

That's a lapco drop. LPR seems to be either a ST or a Palmers. Barrel is DYE, Standard GEN-E hi-rise feedneck. Which means it's probably a Gen-E LCD board and not a DYE LCD board. Need better pictures to tell.

The chip says GUN12, and I dont know what the hell the dipswitches do.

Um... Yeah and that feedneck sucks, it wont fit my Vlocity Jr's neck at all.
I WONT sand down my hopper neck, but Im thinking of getting low grit
sandpaper and trying to sand the inside of the dye neck before breaking
and buying a new one.

PS - Reg kind of looks like an expansion chamber? Odd

UPDATE - Ah, HPR is a beehive.

Haha yeah Im getting a new one as soon as I can. It doesnt fit any hoppers I own, so that's a big plus on top of the ugliness and height.


And uh... Space Marines FTW? :O
