I found a package for 250 bucks.
it includes a tippmann custom pro with A.C.T.
20 oz tank
mask
o- rings
and trigger.
Does that sound resonable?

If it is new, it's a decent deal. If it's used, you can probably do better. I think all the 98's are going to the Platinum series, so there will probably be a lot of "closeout" sales.

A pretty accurate way to figure approx value for used Tippmanns is to add all of the items up that it would take to make the package with new stuff and 1/2 it. Tippmanns are plentiful used and don't really hold their value as well as some others. With that said, you can usually pick them up pretty cheap. Check out places like www.pbnation.com and www.mcarterbrown.com for some better deals than you may find on Ebay.

Masks are iffy buying used and you may want to look into what it will take to replace the lense if it is damaged. I would venture a guess that a high percentage of masks sold used will need new lenses within a short amount of time. Some thermal lenses run $25+ to replace.
