I have a 98c have I've had for about 7 years.  the gun has been very good to me, but it has shown some signs of wear.  to the point where I think it might be time to move on but I need advice on what to do.  right now my set up is 98c with cyclone, 14" teardrop barrel, expansion chamber, car stock, rocket cock, dropfoward, double finger trigger.  a lot of people say that the 98 is an entry level marker, what is the next step up?  All i play is woodsball.  I was thinking that I should get a 98c platinum, and use my parts, but at the same time I would like to try another marker.  I'm not sure what I should do.  Any advice?  specifically what other markers should I be looking at if i go away from the 98?

200 just for the marker? If so I would look into a ICD Promaster. If you are buying a new marker you might as well move out of the low end.

Depends on what you want to do.  Do you want to play for fun, or impress others with what you spent?  So what if you have a low-end or entry-level marker.  A lot of people do.  If you feel that you've outgrown your trusty Tippmann, shop around the paintball shops or check out the online ones.

I haven't heard anything bad about the Proto SLG markers here:  http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/S tore/en/-/USD/BrowseCatalog-Start;sid=jxkjsbqYprkjD_12twzjGb BRMLZauI4YtSs=?CategoryName=paintball-paintball-guns-proto-p aintball-guns-proto-slg-paintball-guns

But you can also get a free loader (while supplies last) with the purchase of a WGP MG-7 marker here:  http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/S tore/en/-/USD/DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=jxkjsbqYpr kjD_12twzjGbBRMLZauI4YtSs=?ProductID=n6rAqArbaxoAAAEW%2eOzMw hGK

You could always get a nice egripped A5 if you want to stick to tippmann.  I love mine. 
Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your...
